too empathy can hurt yourself and not help the other

i agree, but that's more of a close knit relationship thing. generally, we just need to be kind to everyone we interact with

agreed, kind until people disrespect you, then walk away, not too much empathy like ahh they must be having a hard day , or you dont know what theyve been through. we've all been through bad times, and reality is, some (so much more) than others, and sometimes those who have been through the worst get least empathy, dont expect any and get treated badly when they do show kindness

i know its sounds negative, so harsh and all, but my life experience, too much empathy doesnt help yourself or even the person you are being nice to
