    I am empathetic regarding people and can be, but am not necessarily, apathetic about things or situations.  As to the "Why?"...I was born that way and there are many variables involved, respectively.

    Generally speaking or about a certain thing? I'm apathetic about politics / govt., I empathize with those suffering under it.

    The 2 are not alternatives. It is 2 entirely different scales. You an be both, or neither.

  • I've always been quite empathetic, it's just my innate personality. Although I must admit I have become much less that way as I've aged and I think spending too much time on social media has caused a lack of it. Because it's such an over saturation of people and talk and opinions and politics and hate and.......etc.

    I think that is the general attitude of many in America OS. If they don't have a dog in the fight they don't want to be bothered! Mahalo for your reply and cute graphic! :)

    I hear ya Ariel. Instant worldwide communication 24/7. You can't escape it unless you opt entirely from all forms of communication. It's everywhere. And the hate seems to spread faster and stays longer than anything. Why that is I will never understand. Thank you for your thoughtful reply and Happy  Sunday! :)

    I agree. I think it is much better to be caring then uncaring even though sometimes you get hurt. Thank you for your reply pearl! :)
