You sound depressed, whether you're aware of that or not.

>This caused me to look back at my past, and I saw that I had been doing it for almost all my life. Shit childhood I suppose,

empathy is usually an extension of sharing commonly understood suffering.

do you also have no sense of humor?

You're talking about sympathy not empathy, retard.

Empathy is the ability to understand other people's feelings. It has nothing to do with caring. Lacking empathy is a hallmark of autism.

maybe that's the way you deal with things in life. i feel like things that happen to others don't get to me like it happens with others.

Are there people that you genuinely enjoy just because of reasons? Is there someone you'd be really sad to hear that they died?

I feel like this often, I usually ask myself if I'm just really selfish because I've been like this most of my life and never understood why people started to dislike me. I didn't really grasp social manners until I got much older, but I still find it hard to be there for someone when they cry or share something personal. I'm very indifferent and don't want to say anything if it's not genuine. I do believe it has something to do with my early childhood, but I can not think of the exact reason.
I don't seek to hurt people or manipulate them, I just find it hard to feel for them or relate.

Sounds pretty normal to me. Some loner druggie crashed his motorcycle at my high school. After his death he was the "best friend" of half the school, and everyone made a big display about how hurt they were and how much they missed him. That kids death was a turning point in my life. I realized most people in our society are just hollow narcissists 100% incapable of real han experience.

But at least you realized. You can certainly grow in empathy, I know I have. I'd start journalling and maybe go talk to a therapist. I avoid them, since I think a lot of them are like the aforementioned hollow ghosts.
