Those that lack empathy hate that people are right about their hidden feelings. The reason for that is empathy is real and no amount of shade thrown on it negates that.
Emotional abuse is real too. This isn’t mindreading. It’s not prediction. It’s anticipation. And it’s emotionally discarding the people around you.
Empathy isn’t even part of what this is the moment you are throwing or feeling any shade.
Any empath who has familiarity enough with it will acknowledge that, like any other thing you see externally, mistakes can be made. With empathy, those can go pretty deep, too.
That said, I'd no more discard empathy than I would vision, and I'm not fool enough to discard a sense just because I'm not always right about how I interpret it.
