When a writer publishes a book/series and actually interprets the book like a reader while they were proof-reading and ends up empathizing with their own characters. Getting invested in their own story.
Person 1: I just finished proof reading my novel
Person 2: Ooh cool! Found any errors?
Person 1: I was too distracted, I ended up skipping over the errors because I got invested in the plot.
Person 2: But wait, didn’t you write the plot?
Person 1: exactly!!
Person 2: wow, so you got Post-Written Empathy the whole time?
Person 1: YES, WHY AM I INVESTED?? ITS MY OWN STORY

Get the Post-Written Empathymug. Hym "You don't need empathy from me either. You don't actually do it properly. And the reason she hasn't heard a fat-cock call a woman a whore because 'whore' usually has the word 'CHEATING' before it. And you're not cheating on the fat-cocks with the baby-dicks. Go head. You can test it yourself. Go cheat on a fat-cock with a baby-dick and let him find out about it. I can almost guarantee he will call you a whore... Or he's already fucking other women, because like, why would he settle for just you when he can fuck you and every other girl he meets? De facto caste system."

Get the Empathymug. Hym "Ultra-Omega Psychology Genius! That entire segment about selective empathy is downstream from my thing! How am I THIS GOOD at everything!? I have to have like 1 million citations at this point. Wait, is it 937 kills or is it 937 PhDs? Assists? No, that would suck. 937 isn't a lot of assists...So, it's gotta be PhDs. 937 PhDs! The single greatest psychologizer in the history of humanity!"

Get the Selective Empathymug. When you always make things about you. It has become a modern buzz word for narcissistic women who are transparently projecting their own delusion that they have some exceptional power to feel and sense the emotions of others. while it seems that every woman you meet is a self described empath, the reality is that only 16% of the population has any quantifiable empathy levels above average, and yes it can be reliably tested for it. Furthermore, empathy is not a useful personality trait. In personal relationships, it can cloud your judgment and your ability to give advice or be of assistance to a friend in need. Worse yet is it’s inability to be applied to any large scale decision making. People literally cannot feel empathy for more than a couple of people at a time, generally three. Any tragedy greater than three people is generally of no differing consequence to someone of extremely high empathy. They simply short-circuit. They are useless at population management, political policy, as they try and personalize everything and get emotionally sidetracked with issues that affect all populations. They won’t flip a switch redirecting a train so that it only kills five people in a work zone, instead of slamming into a pact train station killing hundreds. -a example of one of the thought experiments done to test peoples ethical decision making. Empaths always fail, causing disastrous hypothetical results.
“I’m really sorry that my mother passing away makes you so upset Bridget, let me leave the funeral and come make sure you are OK, I know it must be hard having so much empathy.”

Get the Empathymug. To naturally be aware of the emotional state of your fellow man, without necessarily
A trait that only the most upstanding suckers have.
The one thing everyone in this world plays on to take advantage of your natural care and concern for your fellow man.
A trait that more times than not, will get you screwed over because "Treat others as you would like to be treated" is no longer a standard in society.
