Transfinite-Empathy

A condition of empathy that is above hyper-empathy in some regards but not in others. A person with transfinite-empathy is able to feel any emotion, even if there is seemingly no connection between them and someone feeling that emotion. In this regard, it is above hyper-empathy. However, due to it not necessarily implying the ability to be high alert for negative emotions, it is not above it in all aspects. Depending on the cause, it may or may not still imply the ability to be fully connected and in tune with a person's emotions. A transfinite-empathic person does not need external stimuli to feel emotions and can feel emotions that the situation would not usually be able to evoke.

Origin: "Transfinite" (chosen due to it not being above "Hyper" in all regards but still above it in some) + Empathy.
As someone with transfinite-empathy, I can feel whatever emotion my character would and be the best actor possible.

Post-Written Empathy

When a writer publishes a book/series and actually interprets the book like a reader while they were proof-reading and ends up empathizing with their own characters. Getting invested in their own story.
Person 1: I just finished proof reading my novel
Person 2: Ooh cool! Found any errors?
Person 1: I was too distracted, I ended up skipping over the errors because I got invested in the plot.
Person 2: But wait, didn’t you write the plot?
Person 1: exactly!!
Person 2: wow, so you got Post-Written Empathy the whole time?
Person 1: YES, WHY AM I INVESTED?? ITS MY OWN STORY

Empathy

To naturally be aware of the emotional state of your fellow man, without necessarily

A trait that only the most upstanding suckers have.

The one thing everyone in this world plays on to take advantage of your natural care and concern for your fellow man.

A trait that more times than not, will get you screwed over because "Treat others as you would like to be treated" is no longer a standard in society.

Empathy

No. No. That’s not what it was.
Hym “No. It was self pity. Not because of the insult but because I am right. And he knows it. It was not empathy. And no. I don’t lose if I shoot your kids in the face. That’s how I can win. Damn... I was right about EVERYTHING. Every single utterance. That is wild. I’m the rightest man who has ever lived.”
