Why do my empathy levels fluctuate?

[Somegirl408]

like sometimes i feel low empathy then it goes back up again. but usually it stays at the same level throughout my life

Yeah it fluctuates for me too, but that's normal. Maybe it's the body telling the mind to focus on yourself instead of others around you.

It’s just how people are in general. Sometimes we care and sometimes we don’t

[Andres77]

Because it's based on emotions which fluctuate constantly.

Hormonal mood swings perhaps
