Well, I find my empathy can connect to fear, but also anger, sadness and joy.
Does your empathy connect only to fear?

That’s not it at all. If I know what they’re going through and I feel like it something wrong, I feel empathy regardless of how they feel about me
I’ve felt empathy for people where I don’t care for their approval; for people I have no real connection to.

And my desire to be kind to others is but a nobler sounding version of my desire to be bountifully kind to myself <3
