Why not? I know people who are very good at feeling other people’s emotions but very poor at analyzing them.

In kids you can see it all the time - like a kid started crying because he sees others cry, but if you ask them why they cry - the explanation is always ridiculous.

But even some adults are like that, interpreting your own or even others emotions is both a skill and a talent.

That's just called empathy.
