Reciprocity is not only a strong determining factor of human behavior; it is a powerful method for gaining one's compliance with a request.

Social sharing behaviors incite a socio-affective dynamic between the involved persons and according to several studies, [42] [43] may produce interpersonal benefits, and this can result in further social integration.

(See the reference below to Becker, Reciprocity, and the bibliographic essays therein.) Reciprocity pointedly covers arm’s-length dealings between egoistic or mutually disinterested people. Moreover, norms of gratitude do not speak very directly about what feelings and obligations are appropriate toward wrongdoers, or the malicious.
Empathy is thus not selfless since altruism works either as a way to avoid those negative, unpleasant feelings and have positive, pleasant feelings when triggered by others' need for help or as a way to gain social reward or avoid social punishment by helping.
