... I would just like to point out that my social answers? Were totally calculated and non-intuitive. I can't read people for crap, but I've *known* that for a very very very long time...

i.e., you were emulating empathy? :D

-B.

Heh. In a way.

It's not so much the empathy I have to fake as the 'being able to tell what strangers are really feeling just based on visual cues'. Once I figure *out* what they're feeling, the empathy kicks in real hard...

Empathy kind of means two things, doesn't it? The empathy of guessing what people are feeling, being able to read them, is one thing, and the empathy of feeling what people are feeling, being able to relate to them, is a different thing... never had any shortage of the latter, but the former is often a challenge.
