Is it normal to feel no empathy for the other person?

I watch the show House M.D. a lot and I love it. Unconsciously I've become like the main character, who has shown to have no feelings for others. This was proved when my brother broke his leg in a cycling accident, instead of saying stuff like, "Hey dude, it'll be alright" and stuff I only looked at the wound took a couple of pictures and posted them on Facebook.
I got quite the scoldings and when my mom was shouting at me I started laughing. She wants me to see a shrink, I say I don't need one, do I?
Is it in any way normal?

    You're getting caught up in someone you want to be.

    Does your life suck so badly that you have to emulate a fictional character from a TV show? And not just any ass hole. The king of assholes.

    Lacking empathy is one thing - It's the inability to understand other people's emotions or "put yourself in their shoes".

    Being a jerk is a different matter - it's when you know someone is hurting but you choose to kick them while they're down instead of helping them.

    House understands people very well, he just chooses to be a jerk.

    Quit being a jerk.
