Re: Child Sims Lose Empathy When Asking For Advice?

From what I understood, the problem is not unforseen outcome, just that in real life it would be absolutely nonsensical to lose any of your sense of empathy from learning to ask for hep and advice from other people. All in all, I find it a little silly one could even "lose empathy" at all, empathy is a thing you are grown into and losing any empathy in real life requires some real hardship and trauma, not just mundane things like asking for advice or arguing over Void Critters.

    Oh, I don't know, I can see the idea of losing empathy by Trolling Teh Forums, for example. Like, your teen is training themselves to not care about other people's feelings for their own amusement.

    On the other hand, if the OP isn't talking about Parenthood popups and instead somehow kids lose empathy for the interaction where they're sad and "Ask for Advice" comes up, well.  Yeah.  That's kind of weird to me. Is that interaction asking for advice on how to handle their feelngs, which I would expect to increase Emotional Control, or is that asking for how not to feel at all, which I can see reducing Empathy.
