I cannot respond to someone's emotional expressions properly. When someone smiles at me i don't react with a smile in return until it is too late which makes me look like I'm faking it. It's not because I'm depressed, I just don't process it quick enough. I have had so many negative encounters with people and have lost employment opportunities and potential friendships because of it. It is to the point I avoid social situations. Does anyone else have trouble responding to someone's emotional expressions?
