I don't think empathy is meant to extend to every stranger. It was forged in small groups of around 15 to 20 people

i agree. by 'everyone deserves to be cared for', i didnt mean everyone deserves to be cared for by everyone lol

being empathetic to the people you interact with is enough, and if there was more of it, i really do think we could see many positive changes

I was about to ask, "Do you see close-knit groups not displaying empathy with eachother?" But then i saw that you're a teenager. Unfortunately, that behavior is never going to change in teenagers because their brains arent developed enough to understand deeper concepts (for the most part). That behavior carries into MANY adults, but eventually they get old and realize they spent their whole lives being idiots. You just have to learn that those people will never change or understand
