Are you an empath?
You seem like it :)

Exactly the opposite, wise empathy is rewarded greatly. What we have today in large amounts is not that but a type of corrupt projection of one's own evil.
People choose to empathize with people who don't deserve it. For example a woman will empathize with a woman who's just had an abortion and is crying about it... when that's not at all the correct reaction.
Too much empathy is a mental disorder, it's better if you reserve your empathy for people who truly need it.
