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?

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.

The first two sentences are used more in daily life but they all mean the same thing. Here is a link that could help you:

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.
