This is a question of balance. You have to figure it out yourself as it does depend on plural factors! Empathy is the key: keep cultivating this quality, Matt! 😀

It can be. You must be able to have groudedness and a solid sense of self as to not lose yourself or misconstrue your identity in the attempt of trying to view and relate to others

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)
