what's subtle difference between these three expression? I am sympathetic to your problems.

I am sympathetic about your problems.

I am sympathetic with your problems.

They all seem grammatically correct to me. But are they have the same meaning?

to be + sympathetic to to have + sympathy with I am sympathetic to your plight (situation). I have sympathy with your situation.

being sympathetic with your problems is the one that sounds best to me. I could say to also, but I think it may get less use. About seems a bit off, but it’s probably ok too.

US Englisch may be more flexible with this than the answer Drew gave but I do like his examples as a good guidelines to follow.
