?
I meant I'm sorry that you have problems, but at the same time I'm happy because I can't have such problems at all.

'Indifference' and 'Heartlessness' are the best I can find.

Er...no. :/ (Unless that is sarcasm..?)
Gratitude is appreciation for (generally) someone else's work.
The antonym of gratitude is 'ingratitude'.
I think we're looking at selfishness for that definition.
