Why does no one have empathy anymore?

good observation. I have empathy, I'm sorry to hear you aren't getting the support you need.

A LOT of people have empathy, but you have to dig it out of them. The problem is... people are being trained in society to now show it, it is a gift in some that isn't being developed. thus one of my passionate ideas... to have a school to develop empathetic people and their gifts. Maybe it just be a class.

Media, disconnect, etc..

So the solution to this... is you be empathetic to others. someone will meet you there.

I've heard there is a higher % of nacrissistic spectrum people. Our society is fostering this, why... is a sociology question.

Go to church please, get into a small group and find empathetic people to talk with.

Let us know what you need.

I think you lumping lots into one Term when there are actually distinct differences. Empathy: is an ability to connect on a one-on-one level as one internalizes, relates, and responds appropriately both emotionally and behaviorally. "Their feelings are our feelings"

Sympathy: is an ability to involve oneself in another's experience but still remain removed from it. It is expressed in compassion, sorrowfulness, pity, and etc for another misfortune.

Sociopath/Psychopath: Don't give a shit about anyone or anything else beyond Me, Myself, and I.

Most people do. Lack of empathy is not the same as not giving a shit.

for men nobody has empathy, if you're a women everyone has to line up to console her. Its an unfair double standard. Our feelings get ignored.

Very true

Because they are too concerned with their instantaneous, personal gratification.

Empathy still exist, what makes you think It doesn't?

[SnowedIn]

Lots and lots of people do.

Empathy is when you care so much about the people who replied to your question, that you take the time to reply back.

[SnowedIn]

If only. That's not empathy; that's a pipe dream.

[MuskratLove]

Why do people waste time giving advice on a site where the askers can't be bothered to reply back or even thank you? ↗

[serious]

That is not true.
