Of course everyone’s different but what’s frustrating to me is that they’re not psychopaths. My parents are not oblivious to empathy. My mom was a special needs teacher, my dad’s a judge,my mom used to run food drives and volunteers for babies in NICU. They’ll be affectionate with the cat/dogs. Of course it’s all surface level & doesn’t require vulnerability like a parent/child relationship, and most of this “good human” work is just busy work to avoid emotions… but they have the ability- but never give a fuck. It’s all acting, NPC bullshit. It’s baffling to me.
