This can lead to a decreased ability to connect emotionally and respond appropriately to others' needs. In today’s world, factors such as social media, isolation, and individualistic cultures can contribute to this deficit.

Addressing empathy deficits can improve relationships and promote compassion, ultimately fostering a more connected and supportive society.
