Thanks for watching! Let's continue the conversation. Have you known someone who shows a consistent and obvious lack of empathy?

I had 3 panic attacks once I found out through therapy he could not attach. The last panic attack woke me up at 3 am. I couldn’t breath. I woke him up said help me I can’t breath. He looked at me and rolled over. To go back to sleep. I divorced him.

I lived with a man for 2 years. He always seemed very selfish, and would do things to suggest I was an after thought in general. He had a toxic 6 year old that would hit and kick me when I was left alone with him. Just bad all around. So, one day I had an accident and a sharp piece of metal smacked me directly in the cornea of my eye. It was early in the am, he was getting ready for work. I knew my injury was serious, so I asked him to take me to the hospital. He told me "I have to go to work, and it's out of my way". Let me note that he worked at a medical clinic. I left him shortly after that with no warning. I heard he was devastated. No self awareness whatsoever.

I really appreciate your honesty! It's tough figuring when we are right and when we might have been wrong. Let me share; My ex baked me some zucchini bread and it was actually the best I ever had, but I decided to play a joke. Upon biting into it, I acted like it sucked and begin to throw it in the sink. I immediately stuffed in back in my mouth and told her it was the best I had ever had (and it was) but the damage had been done and in that quick time she started to cry because I scared her somewhat with my reaction. After much reflection, I have decided that "funny man" and "little jokester" have to go. If someone does or says something from the heart, don't be a smart ass; it's immature as hell. Just tell them how wonderful they are and leave it at that.

Wow! I am an Empath with empathy and sympathy and I just can't believe how many mean people are out there. I have literally given my shirt off my back to someone who was very cold in the morning. It should have been a red flag when a person I just started dating said, why would you help the 80 year old man in the parking lot change his tire. Red Flag #1.

Christina, I’m so sorry you went through that experience. My heart breaks for you. Grateful that you are now able to recognize the signs from the beginning so you can protect yourself. 🙏

My moment of realization came on a New Years Eve when what was supposed to be a joyous celebration turned into a nightmare. Police were involved. It was humiliating. No one was physically injured but the emotional & mental scars remain years later.

That experience revealed a superpower I now possess. One I never asked for but am grateful for. I can have a conversation w/ someone for only a few minutes & their narcissistic or sociopathic traits are blinding.

When I was in my twenties my long term boyfriend broke up with me. I was absolutely heartbroken. When I was crying my mom just looked at me impatiently and rolled her eyes. As a child I could never tell her about being bullied at school because she would have said that it was my fault. Growing up with a mom who has no empathy can have long lasting negative consequences.

My ex rolled her eyes, when I asked for a hug and some kind comfort. Her response to me was "I wasn't raised with affection" but when she needed affection, I was so happy to provide. This is a tough subject

[SassyS]

We lost a pregnancy and he just stared at me when I was grieving SEVERELY… all the warning signs and patterns I noticed before came rushing through my head… like my life was flashing before my eyes 😢 I have to now find a therapist to vent to until I heal from the lost because he will lash out if I keep crying around him.. 😢

[MsTara]

My first ah-ha moment was when my (now -ex) boyfriend insisted /demanded I wear something he bought me I was uncomfortable wearing. (I caved in- and shouldn't have- which is probably why the next occurrence happened) The second was when he literally held me down and forced a pair of shoes on me feet that he bought me. Other incidents were in conversations him dictating what he wants me to do for him or what I can /can't do. He would sit and quietly listen then just repeat his demands like nothing I said was acknowledged nor mattered

[FootVampire]

I have very low empathy. Im not a bad person tho. I just dont feel bad when people die.

[CyberPunkFunk]

So sorry to here about your past life situations. And great to see how educated and developed your awareness is as well as connected. If only Psychology was taught in school for everyone, behaviour in general. The full spectrum of human behaviour is a value life lesson, that is strangely not on the school education radar for growing individuals for the adult world. Ive watched your videos for years. Really good insight. High empathy and the education combined to protect it is a key position. Take care.

Being cold to someone sobbing isn’t always lack of empathy. My ex, who I was with for 25 years, used her crocodile tears and emotions to manipulate me. After I figured it out (way too deep into our relationship), I learned to ignore her and walk away when she performed.

My aha moment came almost 3 years ago when my anxiety was a constant companion and I couldn't figure out where it had come from. The more I tried to figure it out and come up with ways to cope, the worse it got. So, one night my wife and I got into a mild disagreement about something and I mentioned how much pain my anxiety was causing me. I got a non-commital answer from her about how I was feeling and something to the effect of, "what do you want me to do about it? I replied that I didn't feel like she was giving me any support. Well, you would have thought I just fired a gun at her. "I don't support you?" Louder, "I don't support you? Then after a brief silence, she said, "Well if don't support you then I will pack, leave, and you will never hear from me again. Do you still feel like I don't support you? "Dumbfounded at what I just heard, I paused and then said, yes - I was mistaken - you do support me. I was just so afraid she would leave me. God, I have learned so much about what I was dealing with, since then - and I have ways to deal with the anxiety. It is amazing how much control you can have when you have figured out what is going on.

The moment I knew she had a lack of empathy was one day when she was loudly lamenting to me about a problem she was having at work. She carried on and on about it, per usual, as if it were the worst thing to ever happen to her... Not even an hour later, a good friend of hers that she also works with also experienced that same problem (it was endemic to that profession), and to my surprise, instead of having empathy for her friend, she launched into a rant with me a about her friend... "I can't believe she's complaining about this... She just needs to suck it up and deal with it like a big girl... etc..."

The SAME problem that she had lamented about when it happened to her, and when it happened to someone next to her not even an hour later... It was like it was a different story.

Ugh... AS I AM WATCHING this video, my girlfriend literally attacked her little sister in a text, using crass wording, and then just asked me, "Why is my little sister getting so defensive?! She should talk to me with respect!" She truly believes she has the right to go through life attacking people and treating them poorly, and they in turn should not defend themselves, and should treat her with respect.

[neondiosa]

Even quiet crying in front of him elicited anger and a label that I am hysterical. Even though he had just told me I am a worthless piece of excrement who has ruined his life.

[YHWHSCHILDT]

Yes! I can totally sympathize with everything you just spoke about.
Almost my story word for word.

My BIG A-Ha Moment. I was sick with severe flu-like symptoms from a rotten case of mastitis. It was the middle of a winter night and I had fever, sweats, chills...all that plus PAIN in one breast. I climbed out of bed because my side of the bed sheets were soaked. I changed and tried to wake him up so I could change the sheets. Ignored me and told me to just put towels down. I did and was so miserable. I was crying, freezing, and needed help and he just disregarded me and my pain. That was my moment. He didn't care. I had a high risk pregnancy, a c-section, horribly ill and was treated like an annoyance, ignored and made to feel like I was just too much to deal with. I never recovered from those feeling that night. We separated/divorced 8 years later. Too long. I'll never get those years back.

[AK-bmqt]

All I can say is, it's very difficult to deal with someone with a complicated mind. The manipulation, blaming, grandiose complex, hot/cold temperament....you name just too much to deal with....i run the opposite direction immediately as soos as I smell the complications.

[DJKier-vs]

You can’t kill me! I’ll just move on! 🥳🥳🥳
