I feel empathy for everything but there’s always been one specific scenario I just can’t feel any affective empathy for. The loss of pets. CW for deaths of animals in case that’s upsetting to you. 

I literally do not feel bad at all when pets or animals die. I’d never harm them obviously unless I was being like attacked and had to fight a big dog off, but if one of my cats were to be hit in the road, I’d just go “ah, that sucks. I liked that one” but not feel anything about it. However I’m also very desensitized to the deaths of animals. I grew up on a farm where barn cats would have that occurrence left and right, my father never had the money for a vet bill so if an animal would need it he’d put them down and tell me that was just the circle of life and that animals come and go and that they were just animals. That’s also how my dad was raised as a kid. I watched my Siberian husky get loose when we had put him outside to use the bathroom, chase down one of our cats, grab it, shake it, and you know the rest when I was quite young. The only animal I’ve ever actually felt anything for when they died was that Siberian husky though, I had him from the time I was 5 until I was 17. My dad had to put him down because he got porcupine quills in his eyes and he was very old and once again my dad couldn’t afford the vet bill. I sat on the floor in my room with my hands over my ears crying trying my hardest not to hear the shot and I was fine a couple hours later, almost as if it never happened. But yeah honestly I’ve never understood people’s sadness over losing pets other than that. For that specific thing I think I have cognitive empathy and not affective. I can understand that someone is sad over the loss of a pet but I don’t understand why they’re so torn up about it because to me it’s just an animal and they come and go and that’s just how nature works. That seems to be the only place I lack affective empathy though.
