I'm almost 22, and my empathy skills are still somewhat limited.  I can
feel bad for someone, or happy for them, but I can't put myself in other
people's shoes.  Part of that is that so many experiences other people
have, I've never had.  Like, when friends talk about their love life or
whatever, I can only listen, because I've never had one.
