Idk if this is even generally true. Let's assume it is.
Likely due to oddities in the mirror neuron system - such that different parts of the body can be conceived of as other.
I subscribe generally to the imprinted brain theory https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imprinted_brain_theory
Imagine having such an overactive empathy system that there's no YOU - even your own body is OTHER -
Gtg maybe I'll return to this with my lengthy theory of how self concept develops and why etc
