>not capable of empathising or apologising unless it's

>>37606522
oh my...
normies have been talking to you a lot about "the need to apologize" lately haven't they

>>37606522
Normies will tell you it's psychopathy.
and i mean, it could be, but you're probably just a busy person who doesn't even think about shit like that.

>>37606572
Actually no. The other day I had gone to far with a joke with someone and apologised but not because I felt sorry but because I didn't want any reprocussions if they had escalted the problem. I've noticed that this has always been my only reason for apologising to others and I'm curious as to if this how others work.

Malicious bump

"problem"? Empathy is a sickness in and of itself

>>37606522
Hits close to home my dude. Literally destroyed every bond because normies don't understand:
1) I'm not going to apologise unless I genuinely feel sorry for what I've done (fat chance)
2) Overusing the sorry meme makes it lose its meaning.
Instead they think I'm an arrogant, egotistical arsehole. Go figure.
>inb4 u actually r one xd

Pretty common, having been on the outside so long you never develop the group empathy that makes normies thrive so well in social situations.

Classic robot trait.

I think you realized that you should apologize for the sake of social amity, but deep down thought that the motherfucker should just learn to take a joke.

That's not a lack of empathy. That's having a different standard of what constitutes an offense severe enough to cause genuine harm, but still not wanting to be that big a dick about it.

"Empathy" seems like a meme that normies just pretend to have. Society kind of needs everyone to pretend like they can understand and care for each other, so that people can buy into the idea of being surrounded by others.

If people accepted that "empathy" was a meme, they'd have to accept that everyone around them is a potential enemy only acting in self-interest.

They don't want to think that way, so they pretend they have "empathy", and they ostracize anyone who doesn't succeed a pretending they have it.

I've never felt "empathy" either, but I'm good at acting like I can feel it.

Your problem is that you're not good enough at lying/pretending.

The problem is that you can't see that you're exactly like 90% of the self centered world, but think you're special enough to have your own thread.

Yes it is lack of empathy.

Empathy isn't agreeing with the other person's reaction. It's the ability to understand the mindset that preceded their reaction. You would apologize because you were able to understand that there may be a deeper reason behind his reaction to the joke, a line you may have unintentionally crossed.
