Pronunciation: [pɹˈɪmɪtˌɪv pˈasɪv sˈɪmpəθi] (IPA) 
"Primitive passive sympathy" refers to a very basic and instinctual form of empathy, where individuals feel sadness or suffering simply because they are witnessing it. There are several synonyms for this concept, including "primitive empathy," "automatic empathy," "unconscious empathy," and "vicarious emotional response." All of these phrases describe the same idea of feeling the emotions of others without actively trying to do so. These forms of empathy are innate and occur naturally in humans and many animal species. Although they are considered "primitive," they are still an important part of our ability to connect with and relate to others on an emotional level.
