Empathy is a funny thing, I don't have much of it, if any. I simulate it though, just because it is what is acceptable socially. I didn't have an abusive childhood, I don't fit the environmental criteria for developing the 'disorder', it's also incredibly rare in females.

Oh I've been there, right down to being called a psychopath to my face lol. My doctor at the time also took it back but still!
I don't have much empathy myself. I'm not incapable of it, but I do seem to have far less of it than average. But God help me when I do feel it because holy ****ing HELL.
I had a rough childhood, I suspect that's why my capacity for empathy and other things are pretty diminished. I have a lot of "cognitive empathy" though so that tends to help me have friends and ****, hahaha.
