Beyond what other people have said about it with, "Yes it can be a jerky thing to do at times but there are also times where a person can have legitimate reasons to be exasperated by it all," I have something else to say.

You wrote, "Do you really have so little compassion for other people that you can't just be happy/sad for them?"

...I thought you just said it was okay to be indifferent to these things. Not judging, right? But now if I don't care about a stranger's life and a big event that happened in it I lack compassion? You need to make up your fucking mind. Either people who don't care lack empathy and are horrible or they're just normal people who are different from you. Pick one. You can't say they're both because then the only one who looks like an asshole is you.

I think they meant it's fine to be indifferent but it's lacking in compassion to actively try and shove it in everyone's faces how little you do care. Everyone is indifferent to some things that are important to others but it's just not necessary to let everyone know how unimportant it is to you. It's just a way to shit on someone's parade when, if you really don't care, you shouldn't be going out of your way for this in the first place.

I thought that too but that one part is so different from the rest it stuck out at me. It's worded in a way that makes it seem like the person is saying, "Don't be a dick about it. I'm not judging you. (I'm totally judging you.) Why are you being a dick?" Like they tried to slip it in or something.

I guess you're right and that's what they really mean. Just super dubious wording going on.

And I already agree with the sentiment of it not being about the fact that you don't care but rather how you express that lack of caring, when, where, that jazz.

OP

Woah, woah, that was not what I meant at all and I'm sorry if that's how it read. What I meant was that if you're indifferent to those things then that's a perfectly fine reaction to it. But if someone is getting all hot and bothered by how much they "don't care" about it then they clearly DO care. That makes me wonder about their compassion if they can't just let these people have their happiness/grief without being personally bothered by it under the guise of not caring. It's more about the way they present their opinions. Like it's not worth feeling bad about someone who died because they personally didn't care about them. It's one thing to feel that way yourself, but it's another to expect everyone else to not care because you (general you) don't care.

Again, I apologize for my poor wording. I hope this clears it up and doesn't make me look even more like an asshole.

[forgottenjester]

Ah, I'm also sorry for misinterpreting you OP. Thank you very much for clearing it up for me. I really appreciate it. Thank you.

And everything you just said? I completely agree so... yeah. Agreement. That's so cool. You know, agreeing. It’s cool. Cool. I don't know what to do now.

Cupcake?
