Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Turn it around. How would you feel if someone else that you cared for and were close to didn't care about your feelings? If you would be bothered, then there's a lack of empathy that you need to work on. If you wouldn't care, then there's a more fundamental disconnect at work between emotions and how they affect people/why they matter.

Consider this: if someone you who mattered to you were in physical pain, would you want to lend them assistance if you were able? Emotional pain isn't so different, even if the risk of permanent injury is less.

As to what to do about it, sometimes it's simply a matter of being able to say the right things, even if you can't make the empathic connection. Try, "I'm not all that good with emotional stuff, but I'm sorry you're upset. If there's any way I can help, please let me know." Practicing empathy n this way may even help you to develop it.
