Hi Georgia- It's me Cynthia. I heard about your friend's fear of shopping carts and I would like to express my deepest sympathies and empathies. I am sympathetic and empathetic at the same time. Sympathy is feeling sorry for someone without having the same traumatizing experience, while empathy is feeling sorry  for someone due to having the same traumatizing experience. Therefore, I am both sympathetic and empathetic.

Best wishes- my sympathies and empathies,

Cynthia W. (Carlton, Illinois)
