Impathy is the empathy that someone feels for themselves. To impathize is to feel empathy for the self. Impathy is the basis of self-love and is essential for peace of mind. However, psychopaths are also known to be deeply impathetic.
Noone needs more empathy from you than yourself. In other words, you need to have some impathy. Actually, you can't be genuinely empathetic without first being impathetic.

One should indeed try to maintain a sensible manner and outlook on life, but a little impathy towards others of more light-hearted demeanor never hurts.
