Am I the only one that believes that empathy comes from a place of narcissism because it requires you to see yourself in another's shoes and project your own ego on to them?

Like, I don't want this to happen to me, so I don't want it to happen to you because you are now an extension of my ego.

Is that not self obsessed?

It can be like that, but I think that's a very limited way to view it.

Well its like, you typically have the most empathy towards your family and friends or the people who remind you of yourself the most. You have the least empathy for the people who's beliefs out right contradict yours because you reject them so much that you just don't want to see yourself in them.

So a liberal sees another liberal get punched they have much more empathy because they can easily see a reflection of them self in that person. Focus on similarities. Hey, that person reminds me of me. I don't want me to get hurt.

But if a liberal sees a Nazi get punched they typically have much more apathy towards the Nazi. I reject this idea so much that this difference obscures any similarities we may have and I have a hard time seeing myself in that person. Me and that Nazi are nothing alike. I don't care because they are separate from me.

Or you care about the person and don't like how their life has been affected in a negative way.

Over your head, Frown, the reason you care about them is because they are an extension of your own ego. You care about people that remind you of your self in one way or another.
