The full empathy quote which gets cut off.
“I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term, and it does a lot of damage. I much prefer the word compassion, and I much prefer the word sympathy. Empathy is where you try to feel someone’s pain and sorrows as if they’re your own. Compassion allows for understanding.”
