i can only feel empathy when i overthink the situation

[Deleted member 86840]

in which rarely happens, but sometimes i’ll sit down and really try to put myself in the shoes of the people i use for my own purposes and i really feel bad

does this still count? or are even the worst people able to do the same?

Yeah, it still counts. Most people don’t even get that far. They run on autopilot empathy, fake reactions, and social scripts. You actually have to force the perspective shift, which means you’re not totally hollow. Just disconnected. Even “psychos” can mirror emotions if they try hard enough. The difference is whether you care about what you feel after.
