What evaryone said is accurate, for me. I can (usually) understand the situation, simulate the appropriate emotion and synchronize with the group. I have never been able to initiate an emption, like some NT’s who serve as the group’s emotional leaders. There’s another intermediate group of NT’s (I think); they are more spontaneous than I am but usually don’t initiate group emotions. This middle group is able to adopt an emotion without thinking about it. So, I’m always the last one to synchronize (unless there's a more out-of-touch aspie in the group, which is rare).
