Are you born with empathy or is it learned?

Both, sorta. Empathy is sorta like language. Humans don’t start with it, but they do have a disposition to acquire it. Babies, for example, don’t care about anyone other than themselves, but children gradually become more empathetic and less self-centered as they get older. Furthermore, empathy development is guided by society.
