The site states there is a danger of becoming overwhelmed with these emotions, and calls this “empathy overload.” There is the condition of being an “empath,” people who feel the emotions of people around them to such an extent that they have difficulty shutting them out, or dealing with them effectively. Many such people end up isolating themselves in order to avoid this kind of experience.
