So, for most of my life, I'd say I was pretty empathetic. (I think)

So, my parents argue like a ton and my mom will threaten to ACK, and so I would always try to like stop their arguing.

Well, last year, my mom was doing it, she had a knife out, and I couldn't get her to stop so I called 999, EMS shows up, and when they get there, she acts totally normal + and admits it was just for attention.

Since than, I've noticied i'm just not empathetic at all . I recongise that stuff is bad and immoral but there is no visceral like negative reaction. I have to use reasoning and all that.

What is wrong with me and how do i fix it?

>do you empathise with your friends


I haven't had any since elementary

Desensitization. The human mind (and body geg) will react less and less to repeated stimuli or lesser stimuli as it has grown to accommodate repeated instances of trauma.
<reddit spacing
You thus have no immediate reaction to negative shit while still understanding that its negative. You can't really "gain" back your sudden shock and horror without leaving the environment thats causing it in the first place. You're still empathetic, you're just toughened and so don't produce a visceral reaction.
<reddit spacing
Also, you need friends. Its crippling to be without them as I have for most of my life.

This includes online because i somehow destroy all online friendships

 â„–14596265[Quote]

>>14596237

I understand the being desensitised stuff a bit, but it's even stuff that even just a day before this happened would cause me some distress like footage of conflicts, which used to make me like empathise with the people. Now, my first thought is "wow, cool explosion" and than I have to think about how thats people dying

I've tried making friends but once you are out of the point where it isn't forced (elementary), I just can't connect with people.

>What about online?


I've been in 3 online friend groups but it never less more than 2-3 months because I always do something stupid to make it to the point where i'm blocked by everyone in the group chat or something

its different stuff

here some examples

>making a joke about doxxing a paedophile and rambling about ip grabbers

this led to them thinking i was going to dox them

>general schizo asocialness


i'd delete post like a ton and just be generally asocial, and i was involved in a community in the news (i was just there to talk about history) since one of the members went to prison for planning a violent attack (he was already exiled tho )

>more asocialness


I kept getting into arguments and lying for fun (idk why but I lie a ton, especially about pointless stuff)

this is possible, but its not just tragedies

i know my situation is nowhere near as bad as yours, as i had two loving parents growing up, but i also underwent a big loss of empathy during my transference from childhood to adolescence (around age 12-14). its not just that it was around the period i started using 4cuck and watching gore a lot, sending it to my friends for gegs, but because i started to realise that most people who call themselves your friends arent your friends at all. whenever somebody would act unjustifiably cruel to me at school, nobody would ever stick up for me, not the people who i spoke to throughout the day and in my free time, not the teachers nor any other classmates. i think a key difference is that for foids, theyre really open with this and its viewed as an actual problem, but if youre a man getting picked on and physically and verbally hurt is just considered a rite of passage. all it did for me was make me insanely resentful of everyone and everything and i stopped feeling empathy for anybody outside of my immediate family, save for very few exceptions, mainly some videos of white kids getting beaten and bloodied by niggers i saw on /gif/.
<
when you realise nobody has your back, its easy to start viewing them cynically and with contempt. if anybody who wouldn't stick up for me when i was hurt got hurt themselves, why would i intervene for them? the mindset goes for people on the street too, as they rarely if ever step in when terrible things happen. i could type more on this but this feels more like something for a slowburn board like >>>/r9k/ so ill leave it here, o algo. hope things get better for you OP

Have you tried being self away every minute? Like checking if you are conscious. This way you can stop yourself

 â„–14596463[Quote]

>>14596431

I get what you mean, I have my siblings who I'd stick up for and I'd likely even intervene if I saw somebody in danger but that's because of something like natural.
I have to reason that because all humans are made in the Image of God, they have a right to life, aggressing against those rights warrant response, and you have a social responsibility to defend rights.

And I do have good parents, its just they fight a ton

I've quit every single thing where i have an account because of this self-destructive pattern but since i do homeschooling + can't relate to anyone at work or church, it's left me kind of isolated which i fear makes the issue worse

You dont nessicarily need to feel the other person's emotions to be empathetic at all. All it takes is a basic understanding of why people have the emotions they do. The ability to not get bothered by other people's trauma can actually be a very good thing that can enable you to help others. I dont think its a bad thing at all

 â„–14596941[Quote]

i'm really sorry this happened to you OP, this is the prime example of an abusive household
<sympathy space
the reason you feel like this is definitely a trauma response from that day, i recommend (if this bothers you at all) seeking therapy and trying to get outside and enjoy nature more if/when you can

 â„–14596966[Quote]


>>14596941

I do really enjoy nature and thats why i walk outside an hour a day.
Like, i try to emulate St. Francis, but it seems quite impossible when he was so empathetic and close to God. Like, St. Francis was the polar opposite of all I am,

 â„–14596968[Quote]

>>14596888

I had not thought of it this way

 â„–14596998[Quote]

>>14596966
well i can't say i know anything about st. francis or your religious views, but don't feel pressured to act a certain way with the belief that it will make you happy; being yourself is really the only way to be comfortable in your own skin

 â„–14597030[Quote]

>>14596968
slight correction on my part, empathy is feeling the other persons emotions first hand, sympathy is understanding why someone would feel a certain way but not sharing the emotions. regardless, you dont nessicarily need to feel their emotions to be caring or emotionally intelligent is what i was trying to get across. it doesnt mean you're less of a human, just that you've been through more, and there's nothing wrong with that

 â„–14597048[Quote]

>>14596998

Well, one of the books that has a major impact on me was St. Francis of Assisi by GK Chesterton
Since he is almost a polar opposite, and objectively one of the greatest Christlike men in the world, i figured it'd be good to strive to be like him

No you aren't the one who's at fault. There is no need to needlessly blame yourself for a lot of things. A lot of people, if they were in your place, they wouldn't perform as well as you and would easily give up.
