There's nothing wrong with you.
If you are being as true to yourself as you can, you are genuine.
There are varying degrees of "feeling".
Empathy comes from life experience.
Example= If a friend looses a pet, you see how they would/could feel sad. If you have also lost a pet, the empathy you feel for your friend greatly increases. OR You loose your best friend in a car accident. A year later on the news you see a story about a fatal accident.....you're going to have a stronger internal reaction then most people watching the news and you will feel sympathy for the families of the victim.
Bottom line= normal......just give it time
I am not genuine. I can't empathize, apologize, or sympathize.
