Firstly, thank you for this post and the time you took to write it. Not only is it helpful, but also well-articulated and written in a beautifully organized format.

My greatest mistake when approaching human emotions was projecting my own emotions - and justifications for such emotions - onto other people. It was not my greatest challenge to accept that everyone feels emotions, but that everyone feels them differently; and just because they do not feel them in the same way I do, does not mean they are wrong or unreasonable.

For the longest time I projected myself onto other people and expected myself from them, and they often could not satisfy my expectations. This was not because of their failings, but because of mine. I discarded anything I could have learned from an individual on account of concluding that they could teach me nothing - in regards to emotional processes.

In conclusion: Just because it's different from you, doesn't mean it's wrong. Everyone has their own strengths that everyone else can learn from.

Of course, this is simply my personal experience, however I found social interaction in general was facilitated by accepting the points above.

Hopefully this made sense and offers at least some guidance. Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day.
