Is there a term for "fear of others getting hurt"?

Empathy?

Not quite...

Just taking an example: Whenever I see someone preparing vegetables/meat on the chopping board, I always get anxious, even if it's pre-recorded.

Or watching a drama series, cause the probability of heartbreak is for all intents and purposes 100%, and the leadoffs to such almost entirely obvious to the outside viewer.

Granted empathy is a portion of it, but that only applies after the fact/fiction, and not before.
