where people can only extend empathy as far as a situation that it's possible for them to get into.

I wonder if there is a distinguishing term for this.

Empathy = The ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes (no matter how different they are from you)

? = The “ability” to imagine yourself in a situation that someone else, who’s very similar to you, experienced.
