A victim of sexual assault doesn't need to know that people support her? What kind of a monster are you?

That's an extremely selfish way of thinking. Being able to understand that other people experience things differently than you do is what empathy means.
Often people who lack empathy do so because they themselves have been treated poorly, or had emphasis placed on outward things (being pretty, having the best car, the smartest kids, the highest paying job, etc.)
Most people have some amount of empathy. Being around others who discourage empathic thinking can reduce our own. Being treated so poorly we can only think of ourselves as a protective measure is another way people lose some of their empathy.
I don't have much empathy for armchair psychologists, that's for sure.
