Empathy - but is it HONEST, pseudo or sham?

Make yours HONEST

You may remember one of my earlier blogs where I stated that EMPATHY is more important than SYMPATHY.

I still completely stand by that. But I’ve come to realise there are three types of empathy.

  • Pseudo-empathy – you give the impression you empathise, but don’t actually understand the other person’ situation.
  • Sham-empathy – you empathise with someone to their face, but as soon as their back is turned you show you didn’t empathise.
  • Honest-empathy – you understand the other person’ situation and wholeheartedly want to help.

    Be the HONEST empathiser, not pseudo or sham.

    The easy way to be HONEST is to ask if your not sure, do not let people assume you understand.
