I can't speak for everyone, but in my experience, social skills can be learned to a certain extent, but it takes an enormous amount of energy. I'm not sure why, but when go to a large social event, like an office party or a birthday, I feel completely exhausted afterwards.
I don't really know about cognitive emphathy though. Logically, I can understand why someone is upset after they explain it to me, but I normally can't pick up on something until its too late.
- Zenst 14y agoVery true, worst kind of empathy is when you realise hours or days or week or even years later make that connection to a event and realise your embarasment you never experienced at the time. So you rebuild your mental social handerling flowchart and carry on.

It's part of normal social growth & development to have your brain wander and suddenly realize one made a faux pas (or figure out the truth about an old situation).
