I think it's satirizing how many people, usually the kinds of people who believe in essential oils and horoscopes, call themselves things like "empaths" as if it's some kind of magic power to be able to read someone's emotions... a skill that nature imbued in us over millions of years to pick up the most subtle cues of other people's behavior so we can tell if they're a threat or not.
On that same note, I'd like to see one making fun of "pickup artists" who think they have the monopoly on manipulating people using only the powers of their voice and language and lying.
My answer is just jking using a meme format, basic emotion reading can be hard for people on the spectrum

I had this happen to me at the club once. A guy obviously read my body language for something I was about to do, and earnestly told his friend that he was psychic while trying to predict me. I played along, pretending I couldn't hear him, and I couldn't stop laughing internally when he got excited saying, "Told you so! I have the gift." It was fun playing up his little fantasy like a reverse magic trick where the one being fooled is the magician. My only regret was not shattering his shit-eating grin after having confirmed his superpowers, but I rest easy thinking one day it's going to backfire on him.
That guy was just wingmanning you and you didn’t pick up on it.

Lol! That's a clever interpretation but he wasn't being too nice while describing me.
