Empathy indeed help you connect with people but yes being too empathic is a bad thing only for the empath ,being able to 'take their place' makes you have their emotions above yours even when the conversation might be over because if you can't let go of their feelings you're kind of making their problem yours, and you trying to find a solution about it in order to help .Also is bad because some people might haven't met any people that listens to what they have to say (empathic or not) and there's a chance they will start having a weird attraction to you and misstranslate this feeling as "sexual interest/love" even if that's wasn't your intention (edited)

I don't think people treat you how they feel about you. They treat you based on the state of the mind they are in. Some people unintentionally hurt you because they are at war with themselves and suffering from things that have nothing to do with you.

A Messed Up Head or a Messed up world?
When unloyal people ... talk about wanting loyalty... 🤣 People who constantly abandon others but talk about having "abandonment issues" They talk about being misunderstood when they don't even bother to see what they made the other person go through, in performing the action (manipulation) that...

Between someone who goes to therapy and someone who doesn't go to therapy. Which one would you date?
Who does go to therapy. Obvious!
Who doesn't go to therapy. It doesn't matter!
