I'm taking away the word empathy from the NTs until they discover it isn't a synonym for "giving a shit about people"

In an attempt to be less of a dick:

empathy is a brain function that some people (including me!) struggle with.

There are three types! Affective empathy, which is basically the ability to read other people's emotions, Somatic empathy, the classic "I feel sad because you're sad" and Cognitive empathy, which is the ability to accurately guess what people are thinking and feeling.

If you use empathy to mean "caring about other people" when you could use words like compassion, you're implying a large subsection of the population (including people you may know) are heartless and bad simply because of the way they were born!

Not cool!
