dolorblindness 

The frustration that you'll never be able to understand another person's pain, only, ever searching their face for some faint evocation of it, then rifling through your own experiences for some slapdash comparison wishing you could tell them truthfully, "I know exactly how you feel."

Coined by author and poet, John Coney

The dolorblindness I feel seeing her like that is unbearable.
