Is it normal to not feel any remorse?

Depends.It depends

It depends on the situation: sometimes you feel numb or simply don’t believe you did anything wrong, and that doesn’t automatically mean something is wrong with you. If you’ve hurt someone, you can still take responsibility and try to make things right even if remorse isn’t showing up.

Yes, it can happen. You might feel numb, be focused on defending yourself, or see the situation differently from the person who was hurt. Remorse also isn’t the only sign that you care: you can recognize the impact of your actions and choose to repair things without feeling a big wave of guilt.

If this is a recurring pattern—especially if you often hurt people and don’t care about the consequences—it may be worth looking more closely at what’s going on. For one specific incident, try asking yourself what happened, how it affected the other person, and what you’d do differently next time. You don’t have to manufacture a feeling to act with care.
