Feeling Too Much Empathy?

does anybody almost feel empathy way too much? except not directly for specific people? like i feel like when someone like my roommate tells me about her issues i’m like “damn :/“ and feel bad for her but i’m not like actually in her shoes. but when i hear stories of people i don’t know and what they go through it’s like a wave of truly being in someone else’s shoes hits me and sometimes i even cry myself to sleep thinking about it. idk it feels weird like i’m faking empathy but not at the same time?

hugely relatable- I have a hard time with upset people right in front of me, but I can also spiral thinking about broad injustices and the struggles that strangers go thru
