I think there's a difference between weakened ego strength and empathy. Empathy is an emotional reaction that is fundamentally about the other person, not the self. The emotion flows outward. It seems like being overly negatively effected by others' emotions/circumstances is about the self, with the emotion flowing inward.
Thanks for this!
