you know, as a low empathy autistic person who is extremely against people demonising low empathy I still think it is actually a good thing to learn how to put yourself in other people's shoes sometimes, even if it is tiring and sometimes distressing. While low empathy in of itself isn't a bad or evil trait I do think people who have low empathy and either don't realize it or don't care how it affects their worldview are generally more likely to be shitheads
