You lack not only empathy, but understanding. I lack empathy too, but at least I understand. If someone is feeling down or stressed by something and you can't understand why, trust me, it's not necessarily because they're weak. People suffer to wildly varying degrees for wildly varying reasons. Just because you can't comprehend why they would be in such pain doesn't mean they're not feeling it to a strong degree, a degree that would make you act the same. You just have different triggers.
is it normal its hard for me to have empathy?
