So, this is one of those things where you question the nature of your humanity and wonder about ridiculous things, like, "Do I have a soul?" "Was I Genghis Khan in my past life?" "Was Mercury in retrograde when I was born?"
Normally, I'm a very empathetic person.
~~~~~~
It all started a few days ago when the woman who I'm accidentally dating lost someone who was basically a mother to her. Naturally, she was seeking comfort and affection, and naturally she turned to me. Because, really, isn't that why we crave relationships?
When she leaned in to cry on my shoulder, I realized in that exact moment that I'm not physically attracted to her at all. Not only that, but I realized that I had no sympathy for her loss. None whatsoever... in fact, her feelings made me feel sick.
Am I evil?

Sometimes no matter how we normally are with other people there is at least one, or more, in which our "normality" ceases and we act differently like in your case.
I don't think that makes you "evil" by any means.
I'm not sure what it makes you though.
