Do all woman need empathy for seemingly stupid things?

So my friend comes over, wants to go out shopping. Its 6pm here, on Xmas Eve, but I say OK I will go. So we start off, she checks her phone and the place she wants to go is closing at 6pm, so we can't go there.

She gets upset and says her day is ruined now because she can't look for the sweater she wanted. She obviously wants me to commiserate and tell her how bad I feel for her. I just can't though, nothing about this to me elicits a need for a real emotion. Oh yea it sucks the store is closed, so what? Move on.

I am now, however, a huge jerk and got a shitty attitude from her the rest of the night because of this. How do people fake this crap?

I know how you feel man, since me and my wife have become somewhat friends after being separated for three years she tells me about every little thing that she does as if its so horrible,when she texts me about something that has gotten her frustrated she says ugh!! As if I'm supposed to care or something and send an empathic response,like oh I'm so sorry your feeling frustrated,for most things I could really care less you know like I have problems too whenever I tell her about something she doesn't respond in kind so why should I right I get it man trust me I do.
