Sympathy will mean the expected reaction when you talk about a situation, an issue, an event you are going through.

"-I am going through a depression

-I am so sorry to hear that"

But they lack empathy aka listening and know how deep the issue is. Forget about proposing pertinent solutions.

"-I am going through depression because-

-I don't want to hear that/(insert dodgy using excuse)/ you got this/Or giving the most useless advices that even a kid wouldn't use in a serious conversation"

Kind of realized that the expression trauma dumping is mostly used by women(even female therapists weaponize that expression against their clients).

I am not saying that to make women feel any type of way. Not like I care how it makes them feel either. I just accepted they are made this way. That's like buying a console and realizing that this console doesn't have a precise feature.it is what it is.Maybe flawed for some or incomplete for others.
