2% of people have strong empathy allowing them to feel pain when seeing others in pain. This is called synesthetic pain.
The claim about 2% of people possessing strong empathy to feel pain when seeing others was not specifically supported by the presented evidence, lacking precise statistical verification. Synesthetic pain was confirmed by evidence as a rare condition related to empathy and mirror-touch synesthesia. Overall, the information partially confirms the claims, but gaps remain in statistical certainty for the first claim.
