Is it normal to alway's wonder how a person is feeling?

I don't know why, but for as long as I can remember I've been this way. I am so concerned with how other people feel. And it's not in a way to be nosy, it's just because I care so much for some reason about other people.

I alway's feel like their's that secret door within a person that hold's all their truth's, and I feel like when I first meet a person, it's my mission to get to that door. It seem's a little strange that I feel this way, because I will seriously go out of my way, to get people to try and open up. I mean, I won't be rudely blunt, by asking them forward question's about their live's, because in reality it sometime's is just none of my business, but I care so much to know. And I feel like it's one of the only way's I can truly know a person.

And I feel this way with so many people. All different type's of people, even people who most people wouldn't want to be bothered with. A lot of time's with people who have problem's. You know, sometime's people who are struggling with drug's, the law, mental disorder's, etc. And I would never take the information they give me, and run with it, because I feel like it's really knowledgeable information. I feel like, they were so kind enough to let me in, and that I shouldn't mess with that.

A lot of people think I'm just too nice. To the point where I need to watch that I don't get hurt or taken advantage of. People have literally come out to me, and have said that. But I feel like I really know what I'm doing. I just think their is alway's that secret side to a person. And nobody else in my family is like, this sensitive to other people, or even to life. My brother and sister think I'm kind of weird, and I've alway's been more of the artistic type in my family. I love music, singing, dancing, writing, and poetry to me is like, beautiful. So I was wondering if other people are like this, and if you think it's normal?
