I want to know how i can deal with others feeling better or just let them pass after a while.

You feel sad when you see sad movies, you feel sad when you read sad books. Just getting emotional over somthing doesn't mean you're using empathy. This doesn't sound like anything to me. Sounds like you're just "putting yourself in their shoes" and feeling bad.
