True or false: With empathy, you feel FOR a person, acknowledge the person's distress, and feel sorry for them, but you don't really know what they are feeling.

The statement regarding empathy is false because empathy not only involves feeling for someone but also includes understanding what they are experiencing emotionally.

Thus, empathy is a comprehensive emotional response rather than just feeling sorry for someone. ;
