What I eventually figured out—not that it ever seems to get particularly easy—is that other people's negative emotions are ultimately a problem that belongs to them. And you have to allow other people their problems. This in one more area in which the best thing to do, as a finite human with limited control, is usually not to meddle, but to let things be.
