“constructive ideas” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here in ignoring your lack of empathy. i am always amazed by the people that provide “constructive ideas”, and then fail to take any “constructive ideas” from others.

you are failing in the same way as the original author by your own metric

Empathy can be “nice” but does not necessarily mean it is helpful, and can sometimes even be harmful.

When you care about someone, but fail to challenge them directly you are not helping them, you just coddle them.
