Psychologists recognize that a surprisingly large percentage of people have no little to no ability to visualize abstractions or engage in mentally taxing feats of empathy.

These people are more prone to believe that it’s only possible to obtain insight about a circumstance from only those individuals in said circumstance.

When people comment about this, it generates confusion for people like you. :)
