When I see chronic drug users suffering in public I don’t feel victimized, I feel empathy.

What about all the non-addicted people trying to live their lives in those communities? What do you feel for them?
Also empathy. The situation is a societal problem, the individuals are not really at fault.
What you feel is disgust; you just have so little empathy that you can't tell the difference.
