empathy blockage

Reason # 19: empathy blockage
a strong mutual empathy is a highly desirable part of coupling. Empathy can happen all over the show, its not constrained to mutual naughtiness, but it is a pre-requisite. I suspect I’ve got a bit of an empathy-blockage when it comes to the local males. Perhaps I should consult with a plumber?

I hear you on this one for sure. I have Asperger’s I don’t have empathy, it simply isn’t an emotion I feel. I understand what the word means very well and I can fake it pretty good when I have to but I don’t truly feel it like I feel other emotions. It tends to be a relationship killer for me once the girl realizes no matter how sweet she is I will never feel empathy for her for anything.
