I feel- or do not feel- pretty much the same in most of your descriptions. I think this can stem a lot from a rather universal outlook on life... that makes someone probably in many cases a less "selfish" person than average.
My point: there are lots of people that only think about themselves and talk about themselves... now if you run into someone like this, you know it's pointless to ever try and talk to them about anything as their huge egos block out any other light. A more detached person, however, will often get tons of feedback, sob stories, etc. I've often wondered why I've met many people who will tell their sob stories and felt somehow responsible, and "guilty" for not really caring- truth is many will speak to anyone who'll listen.
the important thing is that you have the will to do the right thing... not having an urge to cry over someone else's problems is extremely normal, in fact probably as real or true as most can be. Anyways, FYI, I found your story encouraging in the sense that it made me realize that I'm not the only one who has that sensability.. etc.
I am not genuine. I can't empathize, apologize, or sympathize.
