Summary
Empathy needs boundaries to be effective and it does not make business sense to demonstrate it under all circumstances
It’s often said that too much humility is pride. In a similar vein, too much empathy could be vanity.

While it is important to know your emotional state and that of others, you must avoid situations where you end up making yourself miserable while attempting to make others happy.
