🧠 Mental Health Moment: Pity vs. Sympathy vs. Empathy vs. Compassion 💬

It’s easy to confuse these terms—but understanding the difference can change how we connect with someone in crisis:

🔹 Pity says, “That’s so sad” from a distance.
🔹 Sympathy says, “I feel sorry for you,” without stepping into their shoes.
🔹 Empathy says, “I’ve been there, too,” or “I can imagine how that feels.”
🔹 Compassion takes it one step further—it says, “I see your pain, and I’m here to help.”

👉 Compassion is action born from empathy.

When someone is struggling with suicidal thoughts or deep emotional pain, what they often need is not a solution—but connection. A listening ear. A kind word. A reminder that they’re not alone.

💚 Let’s lead with compassion. You never know the impact of showing up with understanding and heart.
