Absence or impairment of feeling or emotion; inability to sympathize with others.
From Greek 'dys-' (bad, abnormal) + 'pathos' (feeling, suffering, emotion). This philosophical and psychological term describes emotional or empathetic dysfunction.
Dyspathy is like the opposite of empathy—it's when someone's emotional recognition system just doesn't activate, which can happen in certain psychiatric conditions or severe trauma!
