  • I am forced to disagree with the first point of your assessment.

    empathy

    [em-puh-thee]

    Phonetic (Standard)IPA

    noun

    1. the psychological identification with or vicarious experiencing of the emotions, thoughts, or attitudes of another.

    Even if someone were actually sorry about how another person feels, that is very different from psychological identification with how the other person feels, or vicariously experiencing what the other person feels. At best, “I’m sorry you feel that way” is an expression of pity and/or condescension.
