Re: A Question You're Afraid Is Too Dumb/Offensive to Ask

Empathy involves being able to imagine yourself in the other person's shoes rather than just thinking it's unfortunate that bad things happened and they feel bad. When people say a person lacks empathy, they mean that person is unable or unwilling to imagine what it would be like if the bad thing that happened to someone else happened to them (and may in fact refuse to acknowledge that bad things can happen to them at all).

You do NOT have to actually have experienced the same bad thing or actually know what it's like to be in the other person's position and feeling what they feel in order to feel empathy. It's about being able to imagine yourself in a similar position and feeling emotions that conjures up. Sympathy doesn't really involve any imagination, no "What if this had happened to me?" thought experiment.
