I realized I have a serious inability to empathize with people. I think I can, but I am not sure I really can. I have this sense of relaxed self-confidence about the world, and at some instinctual level, I end up assuming everyone else does to. I know they don't, intellectually I realize I am an individual, but I don't always remember that. Someone will confide some secret problem or concern to me, and that I will not realize this is an issue to them, and laugh it off, because it would not bother me. This doesn't happen all the time of course, but I feel bad when it does.
This is what comes off relatively few childhood emotional scars, and being 6'6". I don't have anything haunting me, and the world seems like a smaller place than it does to most people.
Anyways, it's something I intend to work on, but if I sound like I don't care about a problem you're having, that's not it.
