I imagine it would be. Empathy isn’t necessary to qualify you as a person who is worthy of decency. We’re not monsters. We’re people too.

Benefits of having low empathy:

You can't guilt trip me

I remain calm when other people are in distress

I'm not constantly drained by the negativity of the world (instead I am drained by my own depression)

Disadvantages of having low empathy:

Was that a joke?

Was that sarcasm?

I don't always underatand why people feel the way they do

I don't get happy when other people are happy

People with low empathy are demonized even by mental health professionals :/

I’m sure this is true for some people but honestly... a lot of people get them simply because they like them and make them happy. I like how the iphone is layed out. It is very easy to use and has a clean look. Andriod interfaces are cluttered and difficult for me to use, so I don’t like them. I had someone tell me that if I can’t figure out Android then I am just a fucking moron and can’t be helped. If liking iphones makes me a moron then so be it I guess.

Iphones for me are just easier. They feel more intuitive to me. They also have a very good battery life and can last for a very long time. I had my iphone SE up until the 11 came out because my SE just started to die. I could have replaced the battery, but I just wanted an upgrade by that time anyways. That’s how most people with iphones are. Use them until they are unusable and then get a new one.

I guess I just don’t understand why it is such a big deal to some people? It is just a phone. You can criticize the company all you want, they definitely do some shady shit. Just let people be happy with the device they like.

Thing is I feel like 90% of the reason people buy iPhones is the same reason people buy those shirts that are like the 500 dollars, brand name

Exactly. iPhones aren’t popular because they’re good, it’s because they’re stupidly expensive and owning one is basically seen as a status symbol.

Which is also why these same people are so eager to replace them every year with a slightly shinier model at an even higher cost.
