I’ve realized I don’t get moved to pity bu things that should move me to pity. Sometimes I feel it’s a big deal, probably I’m not so okay mentally. But I’ve realised I just totally lack empathy. It makes me feel so weird and different.

You have to understand that empathy isn’t a method that you apply in situations when you want to.Being empathetic is a mindset, all the details you throw away when applying logic and reason suddenly have much more weight. A combination of things can help you to become more empathetic. The biggest factor in most of this is learning psychology. It will help you understand the basics how people work, why they percieved things certain ways, and how their perceptions affect their reality. At its core, this can give you the very basics of empathy. I think understanding basic psychology helps.
Sometimes it takes a bit of thinking to truly put yourself in someones shoes. The reason why we all deeply empathize with movie characters is that their situation is presented really well to us, even if it’s complicated.
It seems to me that when people tell you about everday problems, those problems just don’t seem that important to you. Maybe when someone complains that they feel ugly, there’s something in their life that stops them from working out. Maybe there’s something in their life that makes them feel like not being pretty is way worse than it actually is. Most of the time when we don’t feel what someone else is feeling we’re just not seeing the whole picture
