Sympathy or Empathy?

Hi King! I don't understand what you mean.. I think regardless of a personality, any person could empathize with anybody. And- beamer is right - especially if that person experienced the same situation. I mean, you can be a perfectionist and at the same time you can also be caring. Right? I guess I'm missing something on your definition of "perfectionist".. Have a great day!

Personally, I think a person can empathize regardless if he's a perfectionist or not especially if that person had somewhat the same experiences as the person he empathizes with. Conversely, not all perfectionists can empathize well for the similar reason of him not having an idea of what the person is experiencing.

Yes u are absolutely right, empathy is a strong feeling than sympathy. We give sympathies to those people who we think are incapable to handle the situation or are weaker in comparison to others and this can be given by every one but we empathize those people who v truly care for and only a perfectionist can understand the difference between the two.
