Empathy, which literally translates as 'in feeling', is the capability to share and understand another's emotions and feelings. It is often characterized as the ability to "put oneself into another's shoes".
Empathy: Understanding the path to the feeling even if you don't react the same way.
"I have empathy for your feeling of jealousy toward my awesomeness. I would be jealous too!"
Sympathy: Caring that a feeling affects someone even if you don't see how they could feel that way.
"I don't see how you could believe the government is coming to get you, but ok."
Anyway, I don't honestly value your opinions that much if the only way you evaluate secondary school accomplishments is how many people you've punched.
I was in the subclass of president of the speech and debate team and co-captain of the quizbowl team and president of feminism club and taking all AP classes and I don't give a fuck about whether or not you got bullied in high school.

but I certainly try to separate logic from emotions, which is more than most people do
anyway, you're projecting
just because you were all angsty or whatever in secondary school doesn't mean everyone was
There are two kinds of people in school. The beaters, and the beatees.
I've already explained that
I got punched in the face once by the greasy-haired vice-president of the anime club, but that's understandable

I went into homeschooling in the middle of middle school. No clue what it's really like.
blowing out other people's candles won't make yours burn brighter
I should track them down to gloat about the beatings they've no doubt received since.
I don't think you want to tangle with Orikaejim in a battle of stupid cliche literary nerd quotes.
i've got something to say
it's better to burn out, than fade away
I got that one from my x country coach, along with "the pain of accomplishment is always less than the pain of regret"
