In today’s episode of Are You Smarter Than a Libertarian, I break down the real difference between sympathy and empathy. Sympathy allows us to offer support, problem-solve, and show compassion without getting consumed by another person’s emotions. Empathy, on the other hand, can lead to being pulled into someone else’s storm, sometimes at the cost of your own stability.

I share why I choose sympathy over empathy, the dangers of emotional manipulation, and how compassion truly exists when we stay grounded.
