Do I have a mental disorder?
When i hear of things happening in the world like 9/11, and natural disasters i can't seem to have any emotion,compassion, or concern when I hear of bad things happening to people it's like I feel absolutely nothing when it comes to other people the only thing I can think of is "better them than me" type of thinking. Is there something mentally wrong with me?

A disorder is characterized as being deviant, distressful, and dysfunctional. That's not a disorder. There's nothing wrong thinking "better them than me" because of course your health and survival is priority, it's only natural to care about yourself before others. You just can't sympathize/empathize (I never understood the difference, oops) and as long as it doesn't mess with anything in anyone's life it's fine.
no. my abstraction is that the world is way crazy.so your abstraction is expected.
