Inn i have so much empathy

It doesn't take much.

Even if I don't know someone very well, I'm extremely empathetic. I'll start tearing up at sad stories that don't affect me in the slightest. Today I was with an Angolan man who was talking about his experiences in the Angolan war, and off I went. That's an extreme case, but it often doesn't even take that.

On the flip side, I also very genuinely feel happy for people when things go really well for them, to the degree where someone else having a good result (again, even if it doesn't affect me) can actually lift my mood.

It takes a LOT of abuse from someone before I will genuinely not give a shit if things go wrong for them.

I feel like I'm alone feeling this though. Sometimes I almost feel like a sap because of it.
