Someone who lacks ALL empathy would be a sociopath. My guess is that oopsfix probably doesn't lack all empathy. Oopsfix, o you feel bad when you hurt someone? Do you feel bad when someone's in pain? If not, I'd say you're a scary mofo and the only thing keeping you from being dangerous is self-interest. However, my guess is that you probably have some empathy; you may just be bad at/reluctant to express it, for whatever reason. If you can put yourself in someone else's position and imagine how they must feel in a particular situation - not how YOU'D feel in their place, but how they must feel given their personality and their experiences - you can be empathetic.
