There are many reasons someone may lack empathy. The most common being that it was beat into you at a young age that you shouldn't cry or show emotion. Not allowing yourself to feel bad for yourself makes it impossible to feel bad for anyone at all. Another common reason is depression or something else causing you to be apathetic and numb. An uncommon reason is a personality disorder. I suggest seeing a therapist to work out why you have this problem.
