I was being hyperbolic, I'm actually very sympathetic and accommodating. Some of these clickbait articles just are extremely successful in their ability to rub me the wrong way.

In terms of emotional labor, I have the opposite problem as most people talking about it. I feel like people coming to me for advice and emotional support is an honor and not a burden, and I love listening to people and giving advice.
-
While this is okay in general, it can be a problem because I value helping friends so much that if they don't tell me their problems or come to me for help, I worry that they don't trust me, want to hide things from me, don't think I matter to them, or believe I don't do enough.
-
I recognize this isn't necessarily true and that some people might not tell me stuff due to not having major personal issues, not wanting to bother me, it not coming up, and/or them not seeing a reason I should know.
-
But you want to do what you can to make sure this is not the reason.
-
I'll do so much for my friends even if it's a minor thing. One time I helped my friend decide whether she wanted to buy a sweater for around half an hour, and it didn't bother me. I was just glad I could help.
-
I like helping random people, too. Offline I tutor people, so sometimes I let random people in high school or college who I meet online know I can help them with essays or math problems if they want.

Is "emotional labour" the new thing instead of saying "she/he's a worrier"
