Lack of Empathy

We all have moments when we struggle to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes. But for some, this seems to be a constant issue.

Empathy is when we understand and share the feelings of others. Sadly, some people struggle with this concept. A friend of mine never knew how to empathize. When I had a hard day, he either ignored it or talked about his own problems. He didn't seem to care about my feelings and ended up pushing me away. It's important to be there for our friends when they need us, instead of making it about ourselves.
