When it comes to feeling sympathy, our emotion are hardwired to be triggered by the distress of others.
It can be tempting to avoid
putting your characters (especially the ones you like) in too much pain and
agony. Whether physical or mental, any kind of suffering can feel like a
betrayal of characters you’ve become very fond of.
Unfortunately, if you don’t put
them through the wringer their problems will seem minor and not worth worrying
about.
