Ep079 Sympathy vs Empathy - Does sympathy make things worse?

In today’s show the boys discuss the impacts of a non-genuine sympathetic response to any occasion. Why empathy in general is a good baseline approach to most situations. Shouldn’t sympathy come from within? Like more genuine? But even if it’s genuine, does displaying too much sympathy exacerbate the situation? We understand sympathy has its place and it shouldn’t be suppressed in very obvious situations, but, what are the impacts of not displaying enough sympathy? In a very conversational and light hearted chat the boys dig this one up JTW style. Enjoy!
