    There’s reading emotions and then there’s claiming you entirely feel other people’s emotions and are so confident in it that you insist the other person is lying about their feelings.

      true enough, I was just going off the text of the meme rather than the popular notions around “empaths”

      I’m going to preface this by saying that I don’t challenge people on their feelings, I just observe closely.

      The line is kinda blurred since a ton of people are lying to themselves about their feelings, something I’m not immune from either. Anger is a common one that’s quite often a mask for fear or anxiety.
