Naw dog I empathize with you = I can see how you perceive things and follow your reasoning, though I may not agree I sympathize with you = you have my vague emotional allegiance and support, though I may not see things from your POV or follow your reasoning

cognitive empathy (perceiving others' feelings) vs affective empathy (feeling others' feelings) you can be high or low in just one or both of these a really fun one is when someone has high affective empathy but poor cognitive empathy
