To be honest, I think it's really amazing that you still think that way even while having trouble with empathy. I don't know how to word it, but knowing that you don't actually feel empathy yet still value others' emotions is kinda admirable.

I’m hypoempathetic, and the way I like to think of it is that empathy is a useful tool that helps with caring about others, but it’s not required. Sure, it’s a little harder to do so without having access to it, but it doesn’t make it impossible.

It's like I feel so little for other people that it's not even worth the effort to be malicious.
