Overemotional or bad social skills?

Post Reply New Topic

Here's the only concrete example I can describe well.

When I was younger and I went to see the Ice Age movies, they would always start with that little squirrel trying to get an acorn.

((For those who don't know, he would always lose the acorn in the end or get stuck somewhere, but I believe he gets it in the very last movie!))

These intros and outros would nearly reduce me to tears, while everyone else laughed and "awwed."

Was this just an overwhelming emotion that I couldn't process, or was I misinterpreting the clips due to a lack of social skills?

It sounds like you felt for the squirrel. Getting stuck can be quite painful. Losing an acorn can be quite a nuisance for a squirrel.

I feel, in this case, that you had "different" emotions to the other kids, rather than emotions which reflected a "lack of social skills."
