Today, due to the dynamism that characterizes the daily routine of most people, especially in large cities, it is very common to note that many people act with indifference to situations faced by friends, family, co-workers, among others; those who justify or seek to explain this, lack of time, multiple responsibilities or even their multiple occupations. This case is an obvious example of apathy.
However, those who stand in solidarity and support those who face or go through a situation, placing themselves in that person's position and even understanding the causes and consequences of what happens, show a clear example of empathy in the human being.
These two scenarios show us both sides of the faces of the coin, something that many of us have probably faced in our work, circles of friendships, family and also on social networks, even within the blockchain.

Empathy Vs Apathy. Source
Empathy
Below are a number of the simplest features of an Empathetic person:
1. Introverted and very sensitive, they are very detached people, excellent listeners and willing to help in all that they can, they can feel wounded very easily in the indifferent attitude of other people.
2. Highly intuitive, a very common feature in empathetic people, allowing you to try to surround yourself with people with positive minds.
3. Avoid falling in love so they don't get hurt or take advantage of them.
4. They are par excellence nature lovers, they enjoy it a lot using it to recharge energy and relaxation.
5. Enjoy loneliness, use these moments to reflect and rethink new goals.
Apathy
And in relation to the characteristics of apathetic people, we can mention:
1. Self-centered, self-immersed and see everything from their point of view, regardless of reasons or listening to motives, they are only interested in what they think.
2. They are Narcissists par excellence, mostly considered better than others and make their needs prevail over those of others.
3. Lack of tact to say things to others.
4. Extremely impatient.
5. Prejudiced and superficial.
6. They feel no remorse for the actions they do.
7. In order to get rid of any gesture of solidarity or support for a person who has a problem, they act violently and rudely.
As can be seen in the characteristics indicated above for both cases, the two sides of the coin are clearly demonstrated, as a reflection and guide, in order to facilitate the identification of both attitudes.
I hope that this publication will help you to identify those apathetic people in a timely manner and avoid confrontations that do not lead to any positive results.
Finally I present to you a thought of Rollo May:

Hello @janettyanez
Good point "those who justify or seek to explain this, lack of time, multiple responsibilities or even their multiple occupations", certainly there is a human disconnect in terms of quality and affective relationships of people with their family and friends, from my perspective modern society has created these conditions and characteristics in people, to the point of dehumanizing us. Thank you for this thoughtful post.
Best regards, be well.
Hi @lupafilotaxia
I agree with you, many people are just looking for some excuse for their apatia with other people.
Thank you for visit and commend
Regards.
It was very interesting to see your list. I guess many people will not only recognize other people as they read the lists, but they will see themselves (both positive and negative aspects) as well.
THank you for the list and the article!
Hello @unbiasedwriter

Thank you for visit and commend.

Congratulations dear @janettyanez, excellent topic "Empathy and apathy" the two sides of the coin, very well presented information motivates reflection and decide which of the two prevails in our lives.
I share your opinion is present in all areas of everyday life, and many reasons can be used to justify one or the other, however the excuses do not hide the essence of each.
Thank you for sharing such pertinent topics.
Blessings, success and happiness @janettYanez
Hi dear @raizayanez
Thank you for visit and commend.
Have a great day! regards.
I am very emphatic and so I get hurt easily, I just wonder why people don't treat me the way I treat them. Most people are so indifferent to people's feelings and just behave without considering other people. That's why often times i prefer to be on my own because defending myself just is tiring to me.
Hi @valchiz
That's one of the main features of the empathetic person, I share it with you.
The most important thing is that we are always willing to help.
Thank you for visit and commend
Have a great day! regards.
Greetings @janettyanez, apathetic people are recognized by their actions and their way of being, many believe that an apathetic person is one who simply does not want to do anything, from my humble opinion if they like to do but only for the benefit of themselves.
Thank you for sharing this publication.

Nice day friend, it is incredible to see that in my country apathy reigns, sometimes we prefer to stand aside and not support others, this world needs more empathetic people, willing to put themselves in the shoes of others and try to help.
Hello @nahela
Certainly, that would be a great solution to many problems.
