Well, if you're unable to feel empathy, it's not like you can imagine genuine or real feelings of empathy because that's just what you're lacking
why do i need empathy? like is there actually a single legitimate thing u
need empathy for?
Humans evolved this way bec we're social animals that wanna care care of each other and blablabla whatever. But you as an individual?
I can speak for myself but it there was a second version of me and the other me didn't have the ability to feel empathy, I feel like I, as someone that is able to, would be able to look at something or somethings from another perspective than the other me would ever be able to understand. I'm always someone that wants to know as much as possible and to lack something as important as empathy and understanding and relating to other people's emotions is something that's very useful, that would not be ideal to me.......
Would I rather have a child that is empathic or a child that is non-empathic? The first option. I'm glad most people aren't self-serving at all times because they simply don't care about others unless it's for their own good
If you're happy as someone that doesn't feel empathy, good for you though. We're just different I guess :-)
do u honestly think u
