• Makes excuses not to sympathize. Brings up made up stereotypes about people as reasons not to sympathize.

  • EVERYONE and EVERYTHING is fine in their worldview. Someone is suffering? They deserve it orrr they aren’t actually suffering and are just trying to get you to sympathize. There is something extremely wrong going on? Maybe it’s time we changed our morals, it’s not that bad, really.

  • Doesn’t think beyond whether or not it’s socially acceptable.

So? There has to be a name for this type of person. I can throw it on their face.

    I can’t diagnose them obviously, but they could potentially have a personality disorder like anti-social personality disorder (ie sociopathy or psycopathy) or narcisistic personality disorder. If they literally can’t experience empathy for others or see outside of their perspective, it might be a condition like that.

    If they are capable of empathy and compassion but choose to reject it, you could call them “amoral”, or a “moral nihilist”.
