Even our families and friends might not understand our spiritual relationships. Faith is a deep and crazy thing that defies logic. It can do detrimental harm, it’s a recipe for many things if you feed into emotions and don’t discern it correctly. Which is why I’m a run of the mill Catholic who studies all religions, rather than utterly devout entirely manically chaining to my birth rite.
Though anchorites do intrigue me some days.

Weird, because that’s what religious fanatics have been doing in small and large scale throughout history.

I’m a lapsed Catholic who woke up one morning and realized the path I was on didn’t include the church.

And who are you to decide who is and isn’t a real Christian? You’re not God.

Explains it perfectly.
Social animals that are not capable of empathy don’t survive. It’s a survival mechanic, a product of evolution, further refined by the fact we also evolved to use greater intelligence than all other animals, aside from neanderthals and a few other now exinct human species.
Of course humans aren’t the only empathetic animals, many animals have some level of empathy and altruism.

Animals literally eat each other and don’t feel bad about all. Also no other animal cares
