Comment on Do you actually care about your friend's new baby, vacation abroad or similar life events or are you just being nice?

  Yeah.

  I can’t be bothered to even pretend to care about the lives of people I claim to care about

  Not true. If you go through life being expected to act a certain way all the time that eventually takes a toll. OP is doing right by himself the same way everyone else does when they share things expecting they’ll get a narrow and specific reaction from people. If you want to throw around the n word that’s as good a place as any.

    That’s a lot of words to rationalize total disinterest in the lives of people OP claims are their friends.

      It’s an explanation, those use words.

        It’s a ham fisted rationalization. Not an explanation.
