I find myself not being able to expression some emotions such as empathy, I force myself or pretend to empathize most of the times. Is something wrong with me?

Almost every other person fakes emotion, lol. I do too, mostly because it makes other people happy and that’s okay. I like keeping a good relationship with the people around me. Even though I don’t go out as often as they do I do like to occasionally hang out with and keeping a good personable attitude up helps with that. I pretty much just tell people the truth that I mostly enjoy my time.
For me it’s less about faking it and more about showing what I feel. I don’t tend to naturally physically express happiness or enjoyment or sadness, but I do feel them, so when I’m with others I don’t know well I just try to make my emotions more visible. But then again people keep telling me that I constantly look bored as hell. That’s probably why.
