I donât think low empathy automatically makes one a bad person, if you can see it and recognize that that is part of the reason why you have acted badly in the past you should probably start with aiming for not using it as a crutch and excuse for your bad behaviour. Make the conscious decisions to do good things no matter the empathy you feel for other people.
it's not an excuse, just an explanation. if i had a "normal amount" of empathy, i wouldn't have done those things in the first place. that's what i meant.
but i will keep that in mind. the point about doing good things for others. that's a good idea.
Yeah I gotchu. Like itâs fine to recognize itâs a reason you did those things in the past, you just donât need to train your empathy to be a good person is what Iâm saying
