Lack of compassion

Is it that horrible that, on average, I have less compassion than others? It's just hard for me to feel for others, as I can't literally feel what they're feeling. Plus, whenever I have an issue, I don't expect others to feel for me.

    Unless it makes you treat others horribly, I wouldn't say it's horrible.

    I don't think compassion on IIN is very productive. When someone is in pain and feeling lost, commiserating with them will not do them a lot of good. Sometimes, being brutally honest will bring people out of their stupor and lead to revelations that they need not continue with such a painful and useless existence. There is a whole world of wonders out there, available to each and every one of us, if we will just make an effort.
    I have been criticized many times for my lack of compassion on here, and I can accept that. But when I am not being compassionate, it is with the hope that what I am saying, and how I am saying it, will be more productive.

      I agree. Sometimes you have to be a little cruel to be kind.

    Sounds like sociopathic tendencies being born. Go see a shrink before u kill someone because u can sympathize with the pain and loss they'll feel dying.
