I admire your ability to understand and explain how you experience this.
I suppose what you describe is the case to some extent for a lot of people. I'm not exactly sure what "insensitive to feelings" is like, but maybe part of it is just logically figuring out what the feelings are (in the way that average people define and understand feelings) and maybe part of it is knowing what to say or do to respond to the feelings. I have trouble with the second part.
