Do you feel the pain of others?

Hard as I might try, I just don't seem to.

When I'm around others I act like I do. I even donate to charities and am a part of a group at school that seeks to end human trafficking and slavery because I know in the logical sense that it is important to help people. But I still don't actually feel their pain. When a friend of my suffers a rough break-up, I put on my best "I care" face because logically, I do. But I still don't really feel any different around them.

How about you?

i don't feel their pain really and as much as i joke about the suffering of others i wouldn't actually wish it on people. like laughing at a horrible car wreck, you didn't want it to happen but that camry that got turned into a giant crushed metal box is pretty funny and then you picture the driver bouncing comically across 6 lanes of traffic and a brutal carwreck becomes a little funnier :P

Yeah, I can sense their emotions. It's kind of harder doing it on someone you do not know from a distance.

I do. But probably not in the way that you mean - I don't feel pain as others are in pain...

well it depends
usually yes though

sometimes people overract though

but if it is someone i care about, I'll care even if they overreact

kinda, i feel for someone elsesawkwardness more often than i feel their pain. Classic example is like in movies when worst enemies start trying to get along, that ,to me, is an awkward situation and i feel awkward watching it.
