I've done some googling and there's no absolute answer. I have a very hard time understanding my on feelings and I just can't seem to empathise with others. If someone told me there grandad died I'd say how awful it is but in the back of my mind I don't really give a shyt. I just kinda look at it like it's nobody to do with me like it's not any of my family or friends so it's of no loss to me so why would I feel any emotions towards it whatsoever.

It's more prominent when I'm hypo or full blown manic but even when I'm not its still there. If someone's upset I dunno what to say and most of the time I don't really care. (Unless it's close family or friends but I still struggle with them too (
But the thing is that I am a nice caring friendly person,it's like my lack of empathy is uncharacteristic(I don't think my friends and family view me this way but maybe they do ) but yet it's obviously an element of my character.

It actually doesn't bother that much I'd just like to have a better understanding of it.

Thanks for taking the time to read,

Frank.
