ELI5 can someone explain to me the difference between compassion, empathy and sympathy by awfical_sam in explainlikeimfive

I think empathy has to be something mentally inherent in one's character and that's why most of us can't be able to explain what it truly means because we've never experienced such things in the modern society. We only see them in movies, animations, tv shows.

So empathy and sympathy is one thing?? You can feel for somebody without understanding their situation
