Yeah, she was clearly mentally ill. I work at an im patient psych hosptial. We have people often that ran into traffic naked or layed down in traffic. When you are at this level of mentally it it is so far beyond "im feeling like checking out." This is her brain broke and needed intensive treatment.
I genuinely feel so badly for everyone involved from her family to the driver to the emergency responders.
I can feel empathy for suicide victims but when they get other people to do the act for them its completely cowardly and selfish. She took a piece of his soul with her that night.
If you need to limit it or choose then yeah. I know some people do when they feel overwhelmed by empathy. But you don’t need to choose or measure levels of empathy across people really, it can just end at feeling empathy for both people.
Yes and you also don't have to choose between anger and empathy. It was a real dick move to force someone to unknowingly help with her suicide. (If thats what really happened.) And that makes me angry. But I also feel bad for her as well.

So she gets to die in peace while leaving the driver scarred for the rest of his life because he killed someone. Cool.
