The problem with discussions of empathy and sympathy is that there are actually more aspects than people usually think of and describe. In many of our cases, at least some of these are abnormal.
This describes me, too. All but the last one. I'm adept at reading emotions, so it's usually easy for me to recognize how someone is feeling, even if I don't 'get' why they are feeling that way.
