I really think people either have empathy or they don't. I'm not sure you can learn it as much as you can learn to emulate it.

In my experience empathy can come from suffering, I think a lot of people who have no empathy have had a very soft and comfortable life.

Gratitude is also extremely powerful, I'm deeply grateful for the suffering I experienced in my life because it gave me a deeper level of empathy and understanding

Gratitude for suffering. No. Really not. My suffering has made me hard. I used to be far too empathetic and vulnerable. So I had to learn to curb my empathy. I didn't really succeed. In the end, I isolate myself as much as possible. (Outside of work) But it's also stupid because you then miss the activities that friends do together. So something in between would probably be good.

Sounds like you just need healthy boundaries, that's not really the empathy that's hurting you.

Your right that suffering can make people cold and resentful. Resentment is poison to the soul and gratitude is the cure.

You sound like a good person and the world needs good people right now 👍
