sorry but my job when interviewing someone isn't to be welcoming. My job is to be fair, assess the person's qualification and experience because businesses work with restricted time and information.

The interviewer will never know your entire backstory and needs to make a decision relatively quickly. If I would start to be overly empathetic or sensible, I would arguably start making biased and bad decisions based on personal gut feelings. That's what I need to avoid, not encourage.
