If it's your friend, doesn't it make sense that she would feel sad when your are not feeling well? Empathy is being able to feel someone else pain.

- codr7 6y agoUnderstanding someone else's pain makes sense, feeling it doesn't. The last thing you need when not feeling well is causing more suffering.
- toohotatopic 6y agoIt's inevitable, there is no need to feel guilty about it. It's kind of an extreme form of vegetarianism if somebody doesn't show suffering because he fears that others would suffer from compassion. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Whoever suffers with you doesn't mind the suffering.
