I've been having a lot of fights with my mum recently because I have no empathy. I just don't feel bad for others, or even myself when bad things happen, I just get over it and want others to do the same. When I find out a person is sad it makes me uncomfortable and I don't feel sad for them but instead I get angry at whoever made them sad? Also an example of my 'lack of empathy,' is my mum broke her ankle about 2 months ago and has not stopped complaining about it ever since, literally so many times a day she complains about it and today I got sick of it and told her to stop complaining and get over it already because why complain when there's nothing you can do about it? She went crazy and told me I'm a horrible person because I never feel for others, am I? I want to feel empathy for others but I don't unless someone has died or something so is it possible to improve empathy/how?

    I'm the same way but I really don't get sad if someone I know dies. I pretend to feel bad for people but I really don't know how to. I have an attitude of, that's done now what's next. Like my dog died and when I saw her dead splattered body all over the road I was like "when can we get a new dog?"
    So no nothing is wrong with you.

    My mom would've smacked me so hard if I said something like that.
