When viewing another person in distress, our reaction can be broken up into three components:\n1) an emotional response, which leads to...\n2) a motivation, which leads to...\n3) a behavior.\n\nIf a person's emotional response is EMPATHY, they will experience an ALTRUISTIC motivation and will engage in HELPING behaviors to reduce the other's distress.\n\nHowever, if a person's emotional response is PERSONAL DISTRESS, they will experience an EGOISTIC motivation and will attempt to ESCAPE the situation to avoid witnessing the other's distress.\n\nFinally, if the person's emotional response is SCHADENFREUDE (a German term meaning to take joy in the suffering of others), they will experience an EGOISTIC motivation and will DO NOTHING and continue to enjoy watching the other person's distress.\n\nHope this helps to answer your question.

Becasue most people think only of themselves.  There are still a few out there that care about others more than themselves and are willing to help, but good hearted people are few and far between.  Just keep being a good person and hopefull you will encourage others to do the same.

They wont' be happier but they'll have an easier time being sad.  Think about it.  When you're having difficult times, it's harder when you have to also worry about money.  But if you don't have to worry about money, you just have to worry about whatever hard time you're going through.  Plus, while you're depressed you have money to hire other people to take care of the kids and clean the house.  Money doesn't make people happier but it most certainly makes life easier!

some people are selfish and do not worry about others. they are only worried about advancing themselves in life.

because people are small minded and cant accept the fact that people may be different from them and even though they are they have feelings of their own.

These people  feel insecure about themselves and try to make themselves feel better by putting down others. There are also  people who interfere in anothers life because they feel that anyone different from themselves must be made to be more like them. The fact is, people will always be resentful of those who are different, because of fear, which is generated from ignorance. Or because they're just plain jealous.  Just be happy in who you are, because you are the only person you've got to live for.

Something sad happened in your past. And i am sure you got all  the pity you could take from close and not so close people. But life goes on. You have new sorrows and new happy moments. So there is really nothing weird in telling people about it. I am sure you appear fine to them, so they have no reason to feel sorry for you.

The only thing you can do is change your perspective. People have to realize that taking care of yourself is more important than just filling a companies quota for the day. Logically, you are not doing anything wrong. So there should be nothing to feel bad about. You're not alone. Its a sociological virus implanted by old Puritan Christian morals that leads people to view their lives in a uitilitarain since. The sense that if you are not of a communities use, then you are worthless. You are an individual that deserves justice and respect, not a gear in a machine... take care of yourself.

You care because it makes you feel different and that's perfectly normal.  Maybe you wonder if people are judging you because of it or maybe you feel that people stare at it.  Or maybe you just don't want to answer the "what happened?" questions.

:}\nSome people just don't care about others.\nwe cant let that interfere with the calling we have in life\nexcept perhaps we might feel called to witness to that person or  to pray for them./

unfortunately thats how some people are. they dont see the bad in themselves, just the bad in others and that pretty sad.

Because other people were mean to them and they are bitter, or take a sick pleasure in spreading their hurt feelings around to other people.\nDon't let the mean people get you down...there are lots of nice people (like me!) around to make up for them.

of coarse hearing someone else problem makes your spirit a little lighter but that is just human.  When you listen to other people it just makes you kinda forget about yours and more about them.  Not only that there are people out there that are having a worse time then yourself.  One thing that always helps me if I don't have anybody to talk to is to just tell myself it could always be worse, and it can.

Because they don't love theirself. They carry around the angry because they feel they have failed in life.Sometimes people do things wrong to you, and never make it right. That can make you bitter.  you seem to think you are a failure, and that can make you very unhappy,or just being stressed out, can bring it upon yourself.

People are cruel to others because they're insecure and jealous. The being mean (jealousy or not) makes them feel as if they're better but at the end of the day, we can all see through that.
