I know it’s caused by giving more than what we have mentally and overworking our minds, but why is that a thing? What is finite about empathy and other things in the brain? Why can we handle XYZ for a period of time until we just cant?

While we often think of compassion as a good thing, it isn’t a positive emotion: with care comes concern and worry, and with these things comes stress. And like all stressors, people can only take so much of it over a prolonged period without rest. Push them too far, and they break. Shaming them for that only stresses them further, hastening and worsening the eventual break. People need respite.
