Recently, I learned about toxic empathy. It's such a strange thing because it's an oxymoron but it's a very real thing in the world of psychology. Basically, if you hang on too tightly to someone and over empathize with them you can end up taking on more than you should in regards to someone's situation. It comes at the cost of you losing yourself. Now, it's not a terrible thing to be an empathetic person but you have to set healthy limits in which you empathize with the person you are dealing with.
