My SLI brother is very sympathetic to others being sad. He usually doesn't see it coming :-p, but he always takes it seriously. He broke up with his girlfriend recently, which he was really dreading.. because he said he couldn't handle seeing her in tears and was scared that he'd be tempted to not go through with it. :-p Afterwards, he looked like he'd been through the wars - sat around outside with me and a cousin with his head down, saying not much of anything apart from mentioning that she was crying.. They can be a pretty soft-hearted bunch I think. :-p
