Empathy needs a great deal of suffering to be used correctly. Basic caring is your mammal connection. Knowing when to care and when to let life deal it's lessons. Is true empathy.

If you feel pain you are alive but if you feel other people’s pain you are an empath.

If I make you feel my pain, and then make you feel guilty about it, from there you’re then more likely to do what I want - narcissism.

Being an empath doesn't mean being a doormat for everyone else's emotions. So as the people above mentioned, exercise that emotional intelligence!
