There was a cool article on here recently about treating children with severe detachment.

They seemed to find that empathy is like a muscle you can train. https://archive.ph/n2tiE

But people certainly reach a place either by birth or trauma where they are pathologically disconnected from others.

So pretty much like Autism. Where the popular myth doesn't line up with reality...

Alternatively, there are only psychopaths.
