Do you feel responsible for the happiness of others around you?

When you are with friends, family, in a group or at work. Do you feel responsible for others comfort, their happiness, etc. Do you feel bad if they get bad service or are not happy? Do you feel the need to 'make things right'? If so~How does this affect you?
