i don't understand how empathy can be toxic.....
Neither does the woman who defined the term and wrote a whole book about it.
Ruinous Empathy is an interesting concept, but unfortunately much like toxic empathy (but without the obvious malintent from the start), it's mostly used by psychopaths in positions of power to justify their antisocial behaviours in environments that generally forbid it.
