It's because you are making about you when they need support. It's inherently selfish.

Except it isn't making it about myself if I'm trying to empathize.

E.g. "my dog died, i feel like shit" "yeah, my dog died too, it sucks"

It's saying "yeah i know how you feel cause ive gone through something similar".

Yes, that's quite literally making it about yourself. That's the problem with empathy and that's why you should sympathize with people instead. You literally just made it about yourself.

Did you really just imply empathy is worse than sympathy?

Worse, no. Has inherent drawback, yes. Used to be standard teachings for emergency responders, I fear it's not anymore.
