I think...empathy is when you try to understand what the other person is going through/ try to understand their situation. Pity is just when you feel sorry for the person for what he/ she is experiencing without necessarily really being able to understand it.

∙ 11y agoThe difference between pity and love is a major plot point in a lot of modern day literature. The two words mean very different things, but sometimes the two of them can be confused for each other.
Pity is when someone feels bad for you and is only hanging out with you because they feel sorry for you.
Love is when someone genuinely likes you and wants to hang out with you because they think you are interesting, funny, or something else.
