Oh, I don't know about that. I mean, actually caring about other people in such a general sense suggests a sort of strong / true character in a person.

OTOH, commenting about your 'pity' in sardonic language, dripping with so much disdain and so many loaded words / phrases that what should be SUBTEXT is all anyone 'hears' - clearly indicating that all you're doing is signaling a preference and not anything like, say, empathy - well, that's about the opposite.
