Y'know. Empathy isn't just feeling another person's pain in your chest and feeling their tears in your eyes.
It's also "dang, that sucks a lot dude." It's also a pat on the shoulder. It's also giving someone a bit of your tasty food. It's also offering to distract them with a game, or some fun conversation. It's also letting them blab on about whatever's going on, being an ear for them. It's also offering solutions when they're ready and willing to hear them.
You don't need to Feel™ to have empathy for someone. You just need to know that something sucks and want them to feel better.
