Is this a neurotypical meme I'm too too autistic understand?
I think it's satirizing how many people, usually the kinds of people who believe in essential oils and horoscopes, call themselves things like "empaths" as if it's some kind of magic power to be able to read someone's emotions... a skill that nature imbued in us over millions of years to pick up the most subtle cues of other people's behavior so we can tell if they're a threat or not.
On that same note, I'd like to see one making fun of "pickup artists" who think they have the monopoly on manipulating people using only the powers of their voice and language and lying.
My answer is just jking using a meme format, basic emotion reading can be hard for people on the spectrum
