I am all those things. I love unconditionally. I refuse to close my heart to protect myself because a closed heart is cold and lonely. I had to learn boundaries, however.
And I have experienced what you described. I have a gift for helping others work through trauma and grief. Or insecurities and self doubt. I hold space for others to feel, say and release whatever they're holding, without judgement or remedy. I love that about me and if ugly crying in public is the price, Im ok with it. But I would like to learn to control it, though.
