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.

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.”

Me: cool story bro, but that empathy shit don't work on me! Eat ass.

Yeah, you imagining what that cripple and that whore theoretically felt and then trying to make me feel that, is not empathy. It's (what they felt) completely imaginary to you.
Hym "And what good is your supposed empathy when it feels like I have a golfball in my brains and I can barely lift 50 pounds or stand up from a crouching position without getting lightheaded? This is why it's better to just murder your kids and then kill myself than deal with you. And I fully advocate that people murder as many kids as they can in the wake of my death if you leave me to die here. This is a perpetual slew of you going 'Oh... Well, I guess he was right... But it doesn't matter because wrong-think.' And that is why death threats ISN'T too far. Your life needs to be EXACTLY AS AT RISK AS MINE, UNTIL MINE IS NOT and then YOU need to live a life commensurate with YOUR output and I need to live a life commensurate with MY output and then pieces of shit need for stay as far away from me as humanly possible of I will fucking kill you."

No. No. That’s not what it was.
Hym “No. It was self pity. Not because of the insult but because I am right. And he knows it. It was not empathy. And no. I don’t lose if I shoot your kids in the face. That’s how I can win. Damn... I was right about EVERYTHING. Every single utterance. That is wild. I’m the rightest man who has ever lived.”

The ability for a person to simultaneously consider their own position, feelings, motivations, etc. as well as those of another person (or group of people).
The reason he was such an effective communicator was because of his meta empathy, people with whom he was speaking always felt like he understood them intuitively.
