Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another living being is experiencing from within their frame of reference, that is, the capacity to place oneself in another's position. It is distinct from sympathy, which involves feeling pity or sorrow for someone, without necessarily sharing or fully grasping their emotions. Empathy operates on both emotional and cognitive levels. Cognitive empathy involves thinking about and understanding another person's feelings and perspective, while emotional empathy involves a more visceral, shared emotional response. For example, a doctor might use cognitive empathy to understand a patient's pain without becoming emotionally overwhelmed, while a close friend might experience emotional empathy, feeling sadness alongside their grieving companion. The key characteristic of empathy is the shared experience of emotion, making it a crucial component in fostering connection and healthy human relationships.
