      I hate cringe comedy because it makes me feel awkward… But I’m very much not an empathetic person (for whatever reason, I don’t really ‘do’ affective empathy).

        it makes me feel awkward

        Literally empathy: I’m experiencing an emotion because someone else is experiencing that emotion.

        Not to be confused with sympathy: I noticed you’re experiencing an emotion.

            That’s exactly what empathy is. Not sure why you get your panties in a bunch.

            You feel what the other person is feeling even if it’s not happening to you.

            Thats empathy, I have had to do a lot of lessons due to my autism. Thats empathy are particular type sure but its certainly empathic by nature. There are far more ways for social traits to function than how the majority claims they do, also I am convinced that mist folks are lying for whatever reason when questioned.
