Stephen Covey defines: -"Sympathizing" as listening to someone's problem while agreeing that the person is right. -"Empathizing" as listening to someone's problem and emotionally connecting to how the person feels about this problem, without judging whether the person is right or wrong.
Sympathy is something you can feel and express because you've been through the same experiences as the person you are sympathizing with, e.g. I felt sympathy for my friend when her father died as my dad died a few months ago. Empathy is the ability to imagine what it must be like for someone to be in a difficult situation even though you've never experienced that situation personally, e.g. While my father is still alive, I empathized with my friend whose father died recently.
To pity someone is to feel so bad about the situation they are in. To sympathize with someone, is like pity, but only to the extent that you actually know how they feel, they are in a similar situation to what you are in, or were in
