I lack empathy, but it's less of a "I'm gonna make fun of you for this" and more like a "Jeez that's too bad😐.......... Welp, I'll see you later." When my grandmother died I only cried once and years later I now feel a fraction of what my mom was feeling at the funeral. I looked at her dead body in the coffin, I saw her the day she died, I saw her the day before she died, I saw my family's reactions and they were devistated. But guess what. I felt NOTHING. And I regret not expressing my love for her like a normal person would, but I still love her. I cried once then, and few times recently. Mainly because I was sorry that I didn't have the personality to show her how much I loved her while she was still alive. I couldn't help it, it's just the way I am.

I dated a guy for almost a year who lacked empathy. He told me on more than one occasion that he didn't feel like it was his responsibility to act in such a way as to prevent hurting others. He said if he said or did something that hurt someone else, their reaction was their responsibility, not his. Another example is that early in our relationship, I bought tickets to see an 80's band which he said he would like to see with me. I was very excited to see the band play. Many months later, the concert drew near. We were no longer romantic, but had stayed close friends. He was in a long distance relationship with a woman who regularly came to our city for work. The day before the concert, I texted him reminding him of the show and he texted back that he was going to take her to the airport, so he wasn't going to be able to make it. I told him that I didn't appreciate the last minute ditch. I told him it was too late to find someone else to use the ticket and that being ditched like that was hurtful. He responded, "Well, I don't know what you want me to say." It never occurred to him to apologize because he could not put himself in my shoes to understand how it felt to be basically stood up. I didn't go to the show because I didn't want to go alone and the club was in a very sketchy part of Seattle and I didn't feel safe going on my own. A few days later I made the decision to release him from my life and honestly, I don't miss him one bit.

As someone who lacks empathy, I want to share about my experiences empathizing with people. As a lot of people point out people can fake empathy, and I do that very frequently. I know what to say, I know what the person wants to hear, but in reality, I could care less about their problems and just want them to shut up about it and move on. I don't get why what's happened is such a big deal to them, or why they can't simply move on and accept it happened without needing a connection. (even when they talk about good things that happen in their lives I find their reasoning meaningless and it tires me) I recognize I'm not normal in this sense. I say comforting things and that I understand so I don't come across as strange or insensitive. However, I don't make fun of people who are sad or who need to talk to someone, I'm more than willing to talk to my friends about their problems, but whenever they do I always find myself wishing they'd stop talking since I always say things along the line of, 'It's okay' 'I get it' 'That really sucks, I'm sorry that happened' And whenever people notice that I'm slightly out of it when talking about someone's feelings or about their problems, (ex. I get kind of slowed down, tired and even physically exhausted) I always end up saying how because I'm really introverted I get 'people tired', or social. exhaustion if you will. If you happen to be reading this I'm interested in your opinions on my lack of empathy. Do you think there's something wrong with me? That I'm sick or psychopathic? That I am giving people 'red flags' and am an inevitable danger to society? Or that I'm just narcissistic? (I feel I should also mention it's become somewhat of a problem, I have an emotionally needy friend who frequently talks about her problems and needs advice, but as I've known her for around a year and have had to 'empathize' more than normal, and almost on a day to day basis I get more and more tired of hearing about her problems and find it increasingly difficult to even fake it. And it almost makes me angry and frustrated whenever she starts talking about her problems, knowing I'll have to say the same tired answers)

I'm the same as you . I have aspergers and it comes with a lack of empathy sometimes. I act like I feel something, but the truth is , I don't and depending on the situation I might not care in the slightest. However I react in the expected way, because I know that it is the right thing to do. I rationalize others feelings a lot in order to be able to give the expected response. I cannot feel what others are feeling, but if it is a really bad situation and I know the person, I can logically understand why they feel the way they do. This does not mean that I do not care for others at all. I can feel afection towards others or value their role in my life. I'm someone who values the things others do for me. If someone helps me a lot and seems to value me and my friendship, I'll be loyal and do my best to help them back. I have a very strong moral code that I stick to no matter what. Sometimes its quite hard to navigate this because I can slip up and have the wrong response if I'm in a mood and later, when I'm feeling normal again it can clash a lot with my moral code. So I feel guilty. But it is a guilt more related to me, as if I have failed myself. The only way I'll have a bad response is if you've hurt me in any way.
@ssmith51272 жыл бұрын
I enjoyed reading your response. And I appreciated your deep level of honesty on your inability to care about another person's feelings at times. Even highly empathetic people can definitely experience that after repeatedly being exposed to the same trauma again and again. I think alot of medical workers are experiencing this right now with the pandemic and the high number of deaths and suffering. Sometimes there is a need to pull away and recharge ourselves with something enjoyable and affirming before we can begin to feel and express our empathy again. It's like recharging a battery or power source. So, almost every person on the planet does know what it feels like to not be able to feel or be empathetic at times. And we can then sometimes even feel guilt when that happens to us. Empathy for me is easy to compare to a physical touch. We all (I think) benefit from a pleasant soothing physical touch. It creates a connection and a bond between people. It tells you that you are not alone. But instead of being a physical touch, empathy, for me, is an emotional touch. We feel the other person's feelings for a moment and we care about those feelings with them. And frequently each person then leaves that moment feeling less alone. Feeling connected to another in a way that is beneficial and soothing. It lessens and weakens pain and shares joy and strength. I wish you could feel it. I think you might enjoy it if you could experience it. Those of us who do feel it consider it a very helpful and important part of human interactions. However, we all have areas in life where we lack one thing or another that someone else has. If you are able to feel joy or accomplishment and satisfaction... If you can experience curiosity and wonder or fascination, then you can still have a great and rewarding life. And as long as you are able to live your life without causing enormous suffering for others, you deserve that freedom to experience all the good life can offer. You may not be able to feel another person's pain or joy and they may not understand why you don't/can't. And things might get awkward and uncomfortable sometimes because of those differences. But I do hope we can all try to understand that we don't always get to choose everything about ourselves. And we should try to show kindness to one another frequently. It has the power to make all of our lives better in so many ways.

@TheEternalPie7 жыл бұрын
Sorry, but I'm very frustrated with this, because this is how the vast majority of people view empathy. In reality, nobody is empathetic from the start, NOBODY. We ALL learn it. I'm autistic personally, so because of that, I can have an understanding for others who are autistic, while I don't agree with everyone, I can still understand them. In the same way as "normal" people can understand each other. What's happening is that the majority which is functioning "normally" put that as the baseline. So when you come across someone who functions differently, someone who responds differently, or doesn't know how to respond, you call that a red flag, and "wrong". Now, BECAUSE people think it's just wrong, they'll dismiss those people, further alienate them, push them away from society more and more, instead of actually wanting to understand them, help them in any way, etc. I, as someone who is autistic, and hell, most of the autistic people out there, WANT to understand "normal" people, be incorporated into society, etc. But for the most part, it's difficult, or other times, not even possible to live a decent life when you don't function like the average human out there. So the "lack" of empathy you are talking about, is actually what you yourselves are mostly at fault for, because you just think everything that deviates from what you expect is "wrong". This is also why autistic people many times are considered to have TOO much empathy. Many of us have meltdowns and shutdowns for a reason. We're not allowed to be different. Stimming and doing other things to ease our sensory processing issues is "weird" or disrespectful, and people will move away from us because of it. How are, not just we on the autism spectrum, but also other people who have had fucked up childhoods, other mental disorders, etc, how are we supposed to function in society, if society doesn't want to understand us at all, but rather put a "wrong" stamp on us and hope that someone turns us into "normal". Autism for one, brings many good things, the most common being that we usually do much better within fields that we like, why can't this be used instead of pushed away? How many people that are pushed out of society could actually benefit society greatly if they were just allowed to?

You really demonize people like this here. It's not like they are monsters really. I for example most of the time feel nothing when I see a tragedy or when a family member of a friend dies. I know what they feel but I don't empazhize with them. But if someone tripped in front of me I would help them up. I have neve eand will never comit a crime. I have my moral code. But it's not based on feelings or empathy it's based on right or wrong. I would help others right in front of me becaude they need help and not because I experience the same as they do. It makes life in these times far easier. I'm glad I don't have to experience terror and panic when a terrorist attack happens for example. People like me are not wprse people we often just had experiences that changed us forever.

+FinelyRevealed Ok thank you. As I said it depends. We can still have morals through our upbringing. It gets problematic when children that are like I was have no one to teach them about it. Then only the punishment of the law can prevent them from comitting crimes. Unfortuantely there is no reversing this process without a very long therapy and with time you actually like this state. It's hard to explain but you are getting used to it and then you think hiw can people always be so emotional and let those emptions guide them. It seems really negative telling it like that but when you experience it first-hand it's totally different

Wow, during Covid my young nephew with type 1 diabetes was set to prison. I was a complete emotional wreck. I was both mentally physically and greatly suffering emotionally. My g/f of 7 years was literally stoic and very cold to me during this time. I eventually fell into severe depression and I ended up staying in the spare bedroom for months in the dark, hardly ever coming out. During this time she apparently was having an online affair. When I confronted her about it she said she wasn’t and it was my imagination. I forced myself into recovery, and the minute I was able to take care of myself I threw her out. It has only been 30 days and I’m still in the recovery process. I am now dealing with the reality of what a frightening woman I was living with. I could never see someone suffering as bad as I was for a minute, none the less over 8 full months. She was so calm and cold at times it was as if she wasn’t even human. I must never forget this horrific experience. I could have died.

An example from wider society of just how undervalued empathy is: Meet any person in a social situation, and as soon as that person becomes interested in you, the question which is sure to follow any other is, in 99 in 100 times, "so, may I ask, what do you do?" That question is an implicit attempt to measure your value as a human. We don't ask "what was the last charitable act you did to help others?", or "so, may I ask, can you think of an altruistic behaviour which you exhibited recently?" No, it's - what's your value as a human to others, and the answer which will mostly impress, or otherwise, has little to do with empathy. If you should respond something along the lines of - that you clean the local toilets for a living, but in your spare time you love saving lives - the reaction you will get will be one of pollite bemusement, and then they will be sure to move on from you, to speak with another, at the earliest opportunity - even if you've just been entirely truthful. I must say right now that I highly respect people who devote their lives to helping others, but I don't feel most do. For most, it is likely true to say one's status in earning power matters to others, in a way that one's dedication to saving lives (or just about anything else!) doesn't quite match. But don't blame me, I didn't make the rules, however I sure did notice them...

The problem is that narcs show fake empathy. For example, that guy ignored you when you fell down. But, let's say, if that same guy worked in a company, in which you would work as his boss/supervisor, he would run to help and show emotion! But as soon as he gets promoted above you, and then he sees you fall, he'll ignore... And, sometimes people show you kindness and empathy only because they want something from you or get your position and not because they just want to help. So, it's easy to see when someone has no empathy right away. But do we differentiate and know when someone is being fake or being authentic when showing empathy?

Actually to me, there are 3 traits can to consider. "Understanding" anyone can do even psychopaths, sociopaths, & narcs as it is necessary for any human in order to be successful at either positive or negative manipulation (if you can't understand them, then you can't manipulate among other basic human traits). "Sympathy" is imagining or knowing how someone could be feeling & feel for them to a certain extent & "empathy" is actually the ability to feel with the person even if not the exact same experience, but they can relate to the same level of the emotion whether it is being so happy you cry, so embarrassed you feel you may die or tragically heartbroken.

I think I lack empathy, but not too extremely. I can feel the grief of others if its caused by the loss of someone they loved, because I've been through that myself. But before experiencing the loss myself, I don't think ever felt really bad when I heard someone lost someone. I knew what happened, I knew they must be feeling really bad, and I also knew that I should feel bad as well.. and so I tried to act as how anyone is supposed to act in that situation. But I don't think I felt any real sadness. On the other hand, I can easily cry if it's for animals. I can imagine their pain more than that of people around me. Yesterday, a friend of mine told us that she has TB.. and it was shocking. But, I didn't feel anything while my other friends were genuinely worried for her. I too, ofcourse, said words of care but I'm not sure if I felt any worry. It's not like I don't care for others, I really do, but I just can't feel bad for them most of the times. And this is something I really want to change about myself. I try to be as nice as possible, because that's the right thing to do, but it still lacks emotions, especially because I can't fake my facial expressions or the tone of my voice. I wish I could change. I read a comment where a person was saying that it pisses them off how someone lacks empathy. I just want to say, bro, it's not by choice.

My grandmother died and I remember my mom crying I understood why she was sad but I felt nothing. When friends are talking bad about themselves or are sad, I only cheer them up because I have to, not because I feel empathetic to do so. I fake a lot of emotions, I can be really witty and funny, just so I fit in and isn’t this dull shell of a person. I tend to lie and manipulate people, I feel only a slight bit of remorse when I do so. I often overextend events in my life to make me more interesting. I’ve done this many times before, I really liked this twitch streamer so I decided to make a seperate account to bully them and use my main account to come off as the hero. I can almost lie my way out of everything situation I am in. Or make me seem slightly better if I did something. For example; I hit my sister as a act of anger, I managed to manipulate and lie my way out of getting in any trouble, my sister got into more trouble even though she hardly did anything. But something I don’t understand is that I show such compassion to animals, and cried when my dog died more so then both my grandparents that died in the same month. This girl who’s mother had died stole something from me and I couldn’t care less I got angry and felt so much hatred for her, and I still do even though she had just lost her mother. I never cared I felt no empathy towards her or anything. I often will give things to people in need only because I want to make myself look like a better person, it isn’t a act of empathy or anything.

There's really no need to villianize or structure this like a Survival Guide for people having a lack of empathy. Some people have it and some people don't and both are ok. It's not done on purpose. My roommate is a huge empath and I'm not but I try for her. Not trying to get a gain over her, not trying to be cold or empty or robotic. I can sympathize but have a hard time empathizing, I can on occasions.I may not exactly care depending on the situation but I can still recognize for myself what it is she's feeling I just don't feel it with her. I just have to think about it and actually try. I may only take the effort to do that for people I Love and am close with but I'm not going to let you know it. I'll help if I think I can and ask if you're ok and try to say what I think is right but because the feeling isn't there doesn't make me a bad person.

Thanks @Taylor for this- it is so helpful! Unfortunately there are people who lack empathy and 'play' like they do sometimes and they have ulterior motives. If a person is being given one too many 'benefits of the doubt' - recognizing that the person lacks empathy can help uncover or recognize people who are harmful. You are correct- the empathy factor alone is not determinative of anything as others with certain other conditions - autism etc have shared. Thank you so much.

You mention falling in the street and the person you were walking with had absolutely no reaction. I had a similar experience with a person I now know is a psychopath. I was talking with him on my cell phone and a big dog ran up to me barking. I screamed in Fear and honest to God this person I was talking to had absolutely no reaction. He then tried to fake it by saying a dog ran up to you but by then I knew he was acting. As a matter of fact he tried to become an actor and he failed. A bum was angrily yelling at me he just quietly stopped walking and watched. I was alone. It took me years to realize this person is a psychopath. I got away from him. No joke, he was a born psychopath. When you fell I bet strangers looked more concerned than this person you walking with. That person has no feelings. Cold hearted person.

Autism. Lack of emotion. Lack of communication. Lack of socialization. Lack of sensation. Lack of progression. Lack of interaction. Lack of vocation. Lack of relation. Lack of navigation. Generated by anatomical differences of the brain thus immediately blocking these processes from happening between them and neurotypicals. Thus making the autistic mental patient entirely incapable of eating and driving and looking and breathing and empathizing/sympathizing and growing and developing and fashioning and learning and other things that are strictly for neurotypicals only. Kids suffering from autism spectrum disorder have epileptic seizures. They are degenerates. They lack a perspective. They are hollow inside with no feelings and no morals. Autism is the number of symptoms in youth suffering from antisocial personality disorder. Individuals with antisocial personality disorder or in better words autism spectrum disorder classify as psychopaths and sociopaths. They were made autistic by genetic defects or brain damage

I have described it as “cold as ice” and heartless. I have experienced it many times and I believe in my experience those people were deeply wounded who had shut down their own feelings. They can’t allow themselves to access empathy because it would require feeling. I don’t believe these were psychopathic. I believe there are so many ways how empathy could be shut down or impaired It is deeply unsettling when lack of empathy is displayed by people who have presented a kind and caring facade.

Luke bennett was your childhood ok or did something happen during your teen years? one thing I'm learning is no child is born to hate. I myself loved my lil brother but from the lack of love from my mother and the way she held my brother on a pedestal made me lack love and self-esteem it wasn't until I was a little older that I realized she herself lacked empathy when I displayed the same characteristics of her attitude. what I gained from that understanding was a lot of what we go through not necessarily determines what we become but morely molds us into the state of mind we end up living in. I use to be happy and get excited until I'd get whooped for being to happy and excited which lead me to never show signs of them again. and sad reality is I still suffer with it. I agree with you when you see someone going through pain as of karma but like the comment above said I'll show more empathy for an animal before a human and I'm guessing it's because an animal is doing what's natural in it's nature upose to humans (were a mass majority are fuckin ignorant and selfish) could make me lack it. my opinion. don't mean to write an essay 😂

I was forced into quitting one of my passions because it was costing too much money and my dad just said why are you so sad you are just giving up something that you love to do. Just man and be strong. That is when I realized that he has no empathy. He also says all the time why do you have depression just be strong. If you are depressed and have thoughts about harming yourself then you are weak.

I know this video is six years old, but the relevance never dies. After 20 years knowing this person, and a LOT of clashing and fights, we recently started chatting again and it hit me. Both of my parents have died (in 2020), and although we weren't together, he never told me he had a gf for 3 years and married her. They are divorced now. When I initially told him about my parents, he was dismissive. Upon chatting again, I tried to express my hurt feelings with this situation and he was casual then disappeared.. Turns out he was at work. Instead of telling me, I tried to have a serious conversation and he left. He then failed to bring it up again later. I (tongue in cheek) apologized that I thought we were having a serious conversation and he just responded saying it's all good. I thought his personality was the way it is because he comes from wealth and is extremely wealthy himself. I, on the other hand, am poor and on disability. I am very empathetic toward the struggles of the lower class. He never "got it". He donates to charities, but whether he actually feels for the charities he is donating to is another question. He never showed real concern for me when I was struggling and couldn't even afford food at times. I wish I could confront him and make him understand or even ask if his therapist has presented his lack of empathy, but I have a feeling it would not go well and there would be no resolve. I am just happy to know that it's not me anymore. I can't believe it took me so long to put the puzzle pieces together. Thank you for a great video.

I guess I have reduced empathy. I've driven past accidents coldly or ran over an animal without flinching but in all of these situations there's nothing I could've offered besides showing sympathy. On other hand I'd be the first person to stand up for you If you'd gotten robbed because I guess I'm also a bit more coldblooded in these situations. What I'm trying to say there are different personality types, if society broke apart and we had to COMPETE for limited resources most of you women would leave your nice guy husband for somebody who is focused, determined and has that certain lack of empathy to step on the competition and be driven to acquire his goals and take risks. When everything is going smoothly people tend to write off these qualities as "bad".

Empathy is something that is most closely aligned with direct relationships- As with all emotions it's variable by person and degree. It connects us to each other. This video was to give people ideas on when something seems 'off' with a person that they are getting close to or think they are already close to- that if there's a lack of empathy and no explanation such as a kind of autism or condition that they know about in the person and they discover that there is no empathy then they should probably choose another person.
@johnmalko18087 жыл бұрын
What you say actually resonates a lot with me, I think most people are like that, possessing a conditional empathy so to speak. Think about it, if humans had unconditional empathy then we would have never survived because we would be too soft and caring all the time but then again if we had no empathy then we would have never survived either because we would have all killed each other a long time ago. Humans need empathy but not unconditional empathy, To understand human psychology we only have to turn our eyes to the chimpanzees, look at them sometimes they help each other sometimes they fight, sometimes chimpanzees show empathy and sometimes they are ruthless, just like us.

My husband's sucks when it comes to empathy. I have to ask him to comfort/care for me if I'm sick, a family member dies, etc. I've had it! I'm at the point I'm ready to leave. My husband only looks into help for lack of empathy/ gratitude when he can see I'm pulling away from him emotionally. I give my all to him everyday.....I just don't get even a little of that back.
