I believe you are confused. Empathy is not reading someones mind. It's being able to place yourself in their same situation. You cannot feel empathy without caring, because empathy is thinking about others as you feel. Unless of course you are sociopathic or psychotic, in which case emotions would either elude you or in the case of psychosis, escape your perception.
Glad you updated but its not correct. Empathy is placing "yourself" in someone elses shoes. It's impossible not to sympathize with someone you feel empathy for.
You know yourself, so if you feel empathy, it doesn't matter wgo it's for, because empathy means it's you, not a stranger.
empathize with people but still not care about them
