On the other hand, I think that you're showing a lot of insight and sensitivity in admitting that you can't relate to other people. I think it shows a lot of character that you are posting and saying that you want to support people but you don't feel like you can do it in the right way.
I wish there were more people like you. (If you couldn't tell, I don't really believe you're a part of the first scenario I posted....I just wanted to show two possible reactions to what you've said.) I think that you are a sensitive person who truly cares about other people. Kudos to you!

I believe you nailed it, I try not to be too sensitive because I believe being way to sensitive would make things a hindrance.
Imagen, if you will, driving into the sun set without the filtering of sunglasses, you would have a tough time seeing through the glare. In other words empathy to others is like a light turned on for others to walk away from darkness, how sensitive you are determines how bring the light is. If one is way to bright it just becomes hindrance to move in the darkness, think to on coming traffic and the guy coming towards you has his high beams on.
