Not necessarily a lack of empathy (which I would chalk up under emotional response) when it's needed. But a lack of perspective (even for cases that aren't emotional)? Definitely yes. Not that people do it on purpose - sometimes they don't even think about it.
E.g., someone hating some bureaucratic process, while failing to see why it was instituted in the first place and that it has its merit.
