    Isn’t this the point of empathy? Connecting and knowing how someone feels.

      Have you never met one of these self proclaimed “empaths” who are so busy telling you how you feel that they forget to actually listen to you telling them how you feel? I sure have met a few in my day.

      I think the point of this is you can’t know how they feel, only assume. Empaths assume and then trust their assumption so much they believe it to be fact.
