I'm not sure it's a bad thing to care too much... many of us spend a huge part of our life working. The bad comes in when you are struggling for some reason at work and that can take a terrible toll on you. Time to find a new place to spend a huge part of your life.
You can not change anyone you encounter. You can either manage how things affect you or you can look for a different job. I stayed way too long at some positions. I give to much of the best of me to not have some mutual respect and sense of accomplishment.
I have those friends that family life is their everything. They may not be as concerned with a job that they the can just tolerate - their most important values are outside the workplace.
