One of the things I talked about with T today is the fact that I find it very difficult to be happy for someone else. Other people's happiness doesn't make me happy.
But it's not as simple as that. I was certainly pleased when TheBunnyWithin posted this:

So I can empathise sometimes. But it has to be something that I myself can understand. And I won't feel happy for someone else if I'm feeling sorry for
myself.
I got quite a lot of flack here at PC about not being happy for my wife. She is going on a trip to Roswell with my BIL. I would have been happier if it had been
my idea and BIL
wasn't involved.
I am sad and ashamed that I don't have the right kind of empathy.
