I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I have almost no empathy. Everyone tells me and I don’t know what to do.
The best way I can explain this is that my sister has been through some pretty bad stuff, she’s been sexually assaulted and she’s got anorexia. But I don’t feel sorry for her at all. All I feel is inconvenienced, like this is affecting my life and it’s just annoying.
I know this isn’t how I should feel.
What is wrong with me?

Have you ever been deeply hurt yourself? If not, perhaps you don’t have the experience to understand the pain she endures.
I’ve had depression for about five years and I’ve tried suicide before. I just don’t know, and it’s just annoying me because people keep pulling me up on not caring.
Maybe you’re just apathetic and you don’t get emotional much? Do you feel any sympathy for her at all? Only sociopaths are truly emotionless and lack any sympathy for others.
Maybe it’s too much to cope with so your brain blocks it out.depression for five years would suck anyone dry perhaps if you try deal with your lack of empathy will lead to you dealing with your depression part of depression can be depersonalisation where you feel numb and removed I’ve been there and it sux hope you find a good councillor and take care of you first
