Need some genuine advice

Idk if I have empathy 

Like I have emotions I know I cry at sad scenes in movie get super angry get sad everything I am not emotionless but I don't care about people

I can imagine myself in situations like I can imagine myself in the situation of getting hit I wouldn't like it but I still don't care about people who get hit I don't care about people starving or being killed I don't feel sorry for them can I like somehow fix that?

honestly, it doesn’t mean you’re broken or cold just because you don’t feel things the way people expect you to. empathy isn’t always this automatic wave of sadness or care. sometimes it’s just understanding, even if you don’t react emotionally. it could be that you’ve had to disconnect a bit, maybe as a way of protecting yourself. it doesn’t make you a bad person. if you ever want to “fix” it, start small; listen, observe, try to stay open even if it feels distant. sometimes empathy isn’t about feeling right away, but learning to see people again:)
