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.
yeah id feel bad if i hurt someone physically, but i dont really feel bad when someone is in pain..i guess im disensitized to it, i see this shit on tv and whatever all the time and i simply stopped caring i guess?
