alcohol is an addiction. however ur not ur addiction aka the flaw is not the alcohol but something behind it. people choose how they choose to act on, it isnt a medication, drug etc.
yes, drugs/meds etc. can change how u view and how clear u think but the fault isnt on them...

Why compare yourself 
with others tho?
low empathy is better
than none at all

Honestly yeah that’s a possibility I think

like it’s clearly a combination of traits that makes one act in a certain way, to just brush it off as being entirely due to low empathy sound like you don’t want to examine other flaws you might have 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
i don't think i have other flaws. my only flaws are the RESULTS of having low empathy.

obviously you cannot agree or disagree with this since you don't know me but the reason i did the things i did was because my empathy (or rather conscience) didn't stop me
Why do you think conscience is necessarily related to empathy?
let's say that i'm sadistic and get off on hurting and humiliating others.

if i have a conscience (which makes me feel bad about causing others harm) that would mean i would be unable to act out my sadistic desires (since i would feel too bad/guilty in doing so)

but i don't feel empathetic towards people (offline) either, unless i personally know them.

when the school shooting in texas happened (uvalade), i remember talking to someone about it irl (to be fair, they were female + had kids) but she just started literally crying when talking to me about it because she felt so bad for the dead kids and their family.

it feels as if i'm lacking something. obviously i would feel terrible if i personally knew any of the victims but still, i want to feel more human.
there is always the school of moral philosophy that will argue that the farther we are distanced from the person or happening experiencing something, the less we care about it. we do not have the capacity to care about everything or everyone, so the people we are closer to and who make a real impact in our lives - those we normally care for first and the strongest. so a online stranger on the other side would be quite far away from lets say a sister or parental figure. 

and you also got just the mood of being used to reading bad news and watching horrible things go down so we start reacting less to it bc it has become more normalized to us.

to be fair, i do not feel much for school shootings in the us. like i can't affect them. yes they are bad, and yes i wish they didn't happen. but it's not like i stop my day to cry about something half a world away. maybe i'll shed a tear if i go in and decide to really read up on the details on it, but it's not good for me so i don't. onthe other hand, when it was closer to home like Utøya in 2011, I was definitively just in shock and crying bc it felt so much closer and i actually experienced the impact of it on the ppl around me and society in genereal..
that is right. that's why so many ask themselves "how can this parent empathize with their kid who murdered someone in coldblood, if it was my kid, i would want them dead" but how many of the people who say that would actually stick with their morals if it indeed was their child to committed the murder? NOOOT many.
I would not want someone dead even if they killed someone I knew. Like, too easy. Go to rehab, deal with what you have done.  And like I think it's not weird at all that parents feel for their children, like up until that moment they likely had done nothing wrong. It's not like "oh wow u did this thing. Now I feel nothing for you, from one moment to the other" like ppl who think emotional bounds like that just dies in a heartbeat .. i don't understand it. however, that's different from the parents thinking what their kid did was right, like they can entirely condemn it and still love their kiddo. those are not mutually exclusive in my brain.
