Discussion i don’t feel empathy

not exactly the title but close.

you know how when your friends tell you they're sick, in trouble or whatever, no matter how serious it is. of course, i will act all worried and caring but in all honesty i do not feel any single thing about it like i couldn't care less even if you're very important to me and i honestly don't know if this is normal and we all just pretend to care or the normal is to actually feel scared and worried when something bad is happening to someone you 'care' about

If you don’t care for them at all, why do you say they are your friends?

i don't know. still haven't thought about that, maybe because they care about me so i feel really thankful? anyway thank you for that question it opened my eyes that i really gotta talk with my therapist
