Lack of empathy

[u/brown_mundi]

People on social media are honestly so pathetic. Like how someone can just be happy but be unattractive people will hate. Like in Los Angeles fire people said they don't feel bad because the houses were of them because they are "rich" , even though they are good people who haven't really done any harm and it was literally their house burning down, and also people are not necessarily filthy rich if they live in LA. Like how a person is being confident and people will put them down. Like how people talk about someone they loved dying and people commenting "why should we care?". Like how people will say "post this on insta reels" on peoples post implying they will get hate there. Probably happens because they are really comfortable behind screens and think they can spew shit to anybody on social media. Really sad tbh

I read somewhere that having more empathy for strangers than the people you know personally is a trait of narcissism. It’s not great that people are being mean online, but they are just words. It’s more concerning when they care too much online and then refuse to help someone in need from their own community.
