Empathy is a self-contained internal set of processes, triggered by the presence and self-reporting of another person. It involves two confabulated self-deceptions: 1. That the internal experience of empathy is actually external (has to do with the other person). This confusion between internal and external objects is called “psychosis”; and 2. That the experience of empathy is altruistic and focused on the other person when in reality it is solipsistic and revolves exclusively around self-centred emotional regulation and cognitive processing. Empathy has all the hallmarks of – mostly healthy - narcissism.
