It sounds like you're wrestling with a bout of depression, I would highly advise you to get in touch with a therapist. If I'm right it's probably the last thing you want to do, but the longer you put it off the more these feelings will manifest and become harder to handle. It's best to try and nip it in the bud.

I believe you mean sympathy.

Sympathy is acknowledging that the other person is going through an emotional or physical struggle, supporting them and giving them comfort. Empathy is something very similar to this. It’s actually understanding what the other person is feeling because you’ve had a similar experience yourself or you’re able to put yourself in their shoes.
