Is it a bad thing to be too empathetic?

[Anonymous]

I think so. It leads to forgiving people that should not be forgiven, giving second chances to bad people who are just looking to take advantage of you. Getting stepped on by bullies because they don't believe you are capable of attacking back. Seeing the good in horrible people. Being too trusting. Looking for all the excuses on earth to say it's not their fault when it clearly is.

You can forgive them, just not trust them again.

At your age, and ages young, there is no room for empathy. It is called life. You deal with the good and bad and learn.

You can't always please, I can tell you that.

Nope. Empathy is one of the most valuable qualities a person can possess.

Yes, people can take advantage if they know you’re like that. You have to mix in logic and reasoning with emotions and find the right balance to not get taken advantage of.
