Not a stretch for him to play that character, since he was constantly dealing and hosting parties all night before Anthony had to wake up for school. Source: Kiedis autobiography
It's ok to be withdrawn and to dislike other people. Many others feel the same, including me. I hate other people but can cope being near and around them. Empathy isn't something that's natural. It's a learned skill that takes time to build. If it were natural we wouldn't have wars or even violence. If you truly want to change it starts with opening up your mind.
My recommendation is to start with reading a couple biographies to learn what it means to think like another person. Since you're into music I suggest Scar Tissue. From there work backwards and find people with the most clashing ideals and read their biographies. Learning how someone you don't agree with thinks is easier with a guide and a biography is exactly that.
Anthony Kiedis explained in his autobiography that while on tour in his early 20's he had sex with a 14 year old girl. He didn't know she was 14 at first but even after he found out he continued to have sex with her. She stayed with him for several days then he finally put her on a bus and sent her back home to her parents. Her dad was a cop or something.
The Dave Grohl Story. Maybe I had high hopes that it would be as interesting as Scar Tissue but so far it is an extremely in-depth history of hardcore punk in Washington with a few mentions of Grohl thrown in.
EDIT: Forgot to say read Scar Tissue. Absolutely incredible, even if you're not a Chili Peppers fan. That man has lived!
I would recommend Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis (Red Hot Chili Peppers singer/original member) and L.A. Son by Roy Choi (chef/Kogi truck mastermind). Both autobiographies tell stories about how growing up in LA shaped who they are.
