Can you actually train your empathy?

i believe your ability to empathize can change. but it requires you to be able to empathize with yourself first

And or both - your upbringing/understanding of things or a strong conviction

Its like asking if you can change your soul or learn to fall in love with someone. The answer is both yes and no.
Yes; they don't actually exist, so whatever you do with them is only limited by your perception.
No; they don't actually exist. To measure progress you need a starting point, something to indicate what point you have progressed to, and an independent variable to measure your progress against. None of these can be used when you are trying to measure something that is imaginary.

One can feel empathy towards a person, but still have no interest to help or care for them.
Is this still empathy, or another way to boost your confidence?

I think you mean emotional intelligence. Is that the same as empathy?

yes, i can think you can train it. here's an exercise: first, imagine seeing yourself (3rd person) on a rollercoaster and notice how that feels.
second, imagine yourself being on a rollercoaster-ride in 1st person and notice the difference in feelings. this second one you should feel right in your chest. it's way more fysical. you're in the movie, so to speak. fundamentally, empathy - to me - is more like this second feeling.
you can train yourself into experiencing the second sensations by doing this more often. it makes it all easier, but don't expect it to be more than training-wheels though.

It depends how you define it I supposed, but I think even animals have some form of empathy and there is neurological basis for it etc.
I'm really not a romantic but I think empathy exists dunno

I don't see how putting something in your mouth or near your genitals has anything to do with it being real or not.
