I am not genuine. I can't empathize, apologize, or sympathize.

  • You do have these feelings and emotional capabilities, its just you are really inhibited, or so it seems. And you are interested in personal development.

    There are workshops on interpersonal development that you can look at - its just a skill like anything else. Experience is also a big teacher.

    Again, its not so much that you don't want to - you feel badly that you can't quite express yourself as well as you would like to. Thats a skill.

    But your values are there. And after all - "People come to me with problems ALL THE TIME..." - well they wouldn't if you were incapable of empathy, sympathy and being genuine.

    So while you may not be as far along in these attributes as you would like, other people recognize them. That says that maybe you are also being a bit hard on yourself.
