Coddling isn't empathy. I empathize with how hard it is, but not with the idea that one is somehow justified in giving up.
That is a pussy move. And comiserating with somebody in that position, without pointing that out, is NOT kindness. We all need to be hit upside the head with a 2x4 once in a while.
And, the odds of somebody ever getting me against a wall are pretty slim. I'll die fighting before I give up.
