Desire To Care For People Dying Out

I have a friend who's 16 and she's been suffering from this problem. For most of her life, she has been caring and ready to help anyone in any situation. For the past little while she's realized that those feelings have been shutting down. It's more natural for her to get upset in a situation where she has a problem rather than a situation where someone else (who she cares about) has a problem. It used to be the complete opposite before this year. She really wants the old state of mind back, but it feels as if her mind just doesn't care about much anymore.

Is this because of age?

Any tips to help get back into the old state of mind?

Thank you in advance for replies

Growing up/being politicized desire to help is growing from micro to macro level.

It's like putting out fire vs getting someone out of fire.

It's also a little phase a lot of people are crazy from 16-18.

Sounds like shes growing up and being mature previously she had become a door mat for everyone to walk all over
