If the seat of your empathy is in putting yourself in the shoes of another, you are actually considering your self, not the other, and then extending the conclusions you reach out to the other (and they aren't always accurate).
If you shed the negative connotations of the word and allow yourself to analyze the process it's very easy to see why so many models of empathy as an extension of (a much simpler to explain) self interest are so prevalent.
