It's a psych phenomenon, like fear or sleep or rage or whatever.
Some people (narcissits are an example) have conditions where they lack empathy.
It's not weak to understand other people's feewings. Empathy doesn't have to make you give a damn.

Empathy is an innate emotional-cognitive capacity except in those few with severe psychological pathology, which all animals, social animals in particular, evolved to have, as empathy-lacking communities would have killed themselves off and empathy-lacking individuals would have been ostracized and, as a consequence, died. (Unlike in the modern world where one can live in complete isolation and still pay others to bring them food, etc., being an isolated hunter-gatherer would have meant almost certain death.)
So the only one needing to cope with their emotional wish-fulfillment and denial of reality, is you.
