Actually, I didn't mean empathy. I meant, like feeling intense pain at a situation. Like, when I am depressed, I tend to view other's difficulties, (and perhpas my own too) as very difficult and painful, and feel extremely sorry and regretful (both for others and for myself). But when I am happy, I feel most difficulties are kind of trivial, and have a tendency to dismiss them as part of life. In essense, I don't see them as quite as big an issue.
