I think I fake empathy because none of us can truly know what the other person is suffering from
Does it bother you to fake empathy?
I really don't care about the other person's suffering, only about how it affects me
I think it's rude to fake empathy because it's being deceptive to the other person. If you don't feel empathy then you shouldn't pretend to feel it, you should just try to be kind to the person you're talking to.
Fine I will stop trying to fake empathy.
Being authentic is the best thing you can do. You can really burn out if you always have to feel like you need to feel a certain way.
