Impathy is the empathy that someone
feels for themselves. To impathize is to
feel empathy for the self. Impathy is the basis of self-love and is essential for peace of mind.
However, psychopaths are also known to be deeply impathetic.
Noone needs more empathy from you than yourself. In other
words, you need to have some impathy.
Actually, you can't be genuinely empathetic without
first being impathetic.
