This is a delusion. Emotions are a communication from the self. When our needs are met we feel good, when our needs are not met we feel bad. It's that simple. Forcing the bad feelings away instead of filling the need does not make the feeling ultimately go away, it only stores it in the body to come out in other ways until the need is met.
NO One is responsible to fill the need of another. We are responsible for filling our own needs if we are not young children.
Demanding that another person feel in a certain way so that one does not feel discomfort at not helping another human being is an unhealthy way to fill this need. NO One is responsible for the feelings of others.

Take care of you. You are important. NO One is perfect and we can only hurt ourselves when we demand perfection.
