What sort of people do you feel most sorry for or empathetic towards?
Personally? I don't feel a lot of empathy for any one group or individual, but if I had to choose, I'd say old people.
I can't stand people who bully the elderly. They are the lowest of the low, and deserve to be beaten in the streets. I also remember one occasion that tugged on my heartstrings when I walked past an elderly man and smiled, and his eyes showed a moment of panic; as if he was afraid.
Imagine having to live like that.

Edited by Demigod: 1/6/2014 3:00:34 AMI'm honestly not quite sure. For the most part I have an apathetic view on most everything, the pains of everyday life, suffering of others, and basic emotional interaction. If I had to describe myself it'd be melancholic and lost in thought. When I do feel strongly about something it's often brief and intense before I lapse back into a calm state. So I'm not really certain where I stand.

Soldiers coming home. As to few welcome them back. I make it my mission to shake the hand and thank every soldier I meet. Having served myself I know this is what helps you get through knowing it meant something to someone.

3 RepliesI don't really feel any empathy. I was almost diagnosed with ASPD, but I was too young at the time to fit the criteria. I rejected the notion at the time, but now that I'm older and have had time to analyze more of what motivates me and how I react to things, I've come to agree with the conclusion. That's not to say I feel no empathy, its just very rare that I feel anything about anything. I am not good at processing it when I do. I do see logical inconsistency all the time though, and that is probably my ethical substitute for empathy. I don't really feel bad for anyone or any specific groups, but when I see illogical conclusion applied to people or groups, I do want to correct the mistake and either correct the logic or throw out the assessment/statement/assertion to better reflect the person/group. Of those groups or individuals, the ones I usually go after the most are people or groups who are mischaractized. Example: Hiedegger was a German philosopher, frequently criticized for his participation in the [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] party in Germany in the 1930s. He was a member more for the convenience of needing to be part of the party in order to stay at his job than ideological agreement with the [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url]. As such, a lot of his stuff (which incidentally I disagree with for the most part fundamentally) having nothing to do with government or economies or anything not pure philosophy is dismissed out of hand "because he is a [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url]". That's unfair and a mischaracterization of him and his ideas, and totally irrelevant to his actual points. Its analogous to the Catholic Church suppressing Galileo wanting to teach Helios-centrism. Don't dismiss the guy just because he does not conform to your confirmation bias. Though its not just those specific situations that cause me to react that way. Anytime I see that sort of mischaractization/strawman its annoys me.
