To be more precise I mean a kind of mocking sympathy where the person is like "Aw. You poor thing.." but it's pretty sarcastic.

Best Answer
I can't find a single word with the meaning you want. A common two-word phrase for this concept is "mock sympathy", which often goes along with the phrase or hand gesture of "playing the world's smallest violin."
For single words, the only terms I can think of are ones that refer to sarcasm in general, rather than false expressions of sympathy in particular: scorn, sarcasm, mocking.
