It's like with confidence too.. My will to live was obliterated by a narcissist though (My ex step dad), very early.

It was in below confidence or even baseline - That's why people can be called "negative". And people with confidence are "positive".

Without empathy, no one exists.. they're just toys, to get pleasure, and admiration from (With lies). There's no truth, just lies.

And the media is full of lies, causing people to glorify empathy to causes that get people attention and money, and away from looking inwards at themselves - And the truth.

Everyone looks for truth - As the balance between pleasure/good and pain/bad. But only God knows the full truth. Some people can be wise, and learn from experience, objectively.

That's why I was a complete fool (And still am), cuz I felt too much pain, and was in isolation - Desperate, clinging to euphoric drugs (With no choice, as I was driven by the undeveloped decision making part of my brain).

Like most teenagers, in this decrepit, wasteland of a society.
