Are you good at spotting injustices? As in, you feel there's an injustice even though you might not know why it is. And you sensitive to injustices? Do they make you cry, make you angry or make you feel miserable (easily)?

Are there specific types of injustice your particularly sensitive to?

Yes to all the above. I'm not so sure about specific types, but there definitely are. It's really something I should analyse better. Of course I'm most sensitive to injustices similar to those done to me. But it has been generalised to encompass many if not all types of injustice.

If you don't mind and if it's relevant, please also mention what you're diagnosed with other than BP, if anything (and, again, only if it's relevant).

Quote:
Injustice, noun
1. Iniquity; wrong; any violation of another's rights, as fraud in contracts, or the withholding of what is due; unequal distribution of rights, property or privileges among persons who have equal claims.
2. The withholding from another merited praise, or ascribing to him unmerited blame.
Websters Dictionary 1828 - Webster's Dictionary 1828 - injustice
Although criminal law and civil law are not mutually-exclusive, I tend to be more sensitive to injustice than to crime because injustice always harms individuals directly (personal dignity, etc.) where something such as burglary typically harms more indirectly (personal property)...

...and I do believe my having been bullied for much of my life is at least part of why I can easily experience sadness, anger, misery or whatever else for others as well as for myself...

...and the types of injustices that bother me the most are those where the people committing them are wittingly treating certain vulnerable people wrongly. However, I do believe there is a difference between unjust (entitlement denied) and unfair (arbitrary equality). And so, I can be just as quick to encourage someone to stop whining as I can to let others know they have just committed an injustice.

Yes, for as long as I can remember. OCD might have something to do with it.

I can tell you about wrongfully accused and uncompensated. Some other day.
