Books on how to feel more empathy

Recently, through a conflict in my life I have realized a certain truth about myself. I lie to myself, a lot.

I would've liked to think of myself as someone who had a deeper connection with human life and suffering, but I don't. Through a lie I told to the world, a lie so fine that I believed it myself I tricked myself into believing I cared.

Simultaneously, I believed that I stood above others because I only felt empathy for the more reasonable things in life like death or heavy suffering. That people crying over small things were people who couldn't see how insignificant their problems were.

Yet when presented with what isn't even a significant issue I break, despite my initial prose of not caring or being too high to fall, I break. I'm no less vulnerable than the people around me.

I placed myself above others because I thought I cared more about wordly matters than them, believed myself superior because I couldn't be hurt or downed, but in reality I don't really care about anything other than myself. I'm fragile yet my ego is so high I trick myself into thinking I'm something else.

What I want I guess is a way for me to better understand how to feel for others and less about myself. To grow.

This is in regards to my auto policy which is held under a parent. The policy has multiple drivers listed as CO drivers and one primary driver, a parent.

I was recently at an at fault accident and wanted to know if the rest of the drivers in the policy would be affected.

So for example, the car I was driving is mine but is registered under a parent, I am listed a CO driver in the insurance and pay the premium.

Will my parent and the rest of the drivers in the policy's premiums increase at the same rate mine will?

Is there any way to mitigate this, I was the one who committed the accident, I should be the only one who should share any responsibility at all.
