I don't feel much sadness when people die. Only animals, but I've noticed that around my friends I pick up some of their traits. I think I have OCD and I have anxiety but idk what this is. I've only taken silly online tests that say I'm sociopathic.
What does it mean if I copy other peoples traits just to have a personality? I feel empty without it

That is called learning how to act, also called picking up social skills. You are not sociopathic, merely unskilled. You might like to take an acting class at the local college. Concentrate on vocal presentations such as drama or story telling.
Story tellers:

We are sending two different opinions, which is the stated purpose of the site.
Yes. You are most likely sociopathic. The main indicators are not really having any emotion, and superficial charm. Not really caring when someone dies, not even shedding a single tear? Come on! That is ok though because you can learn to control it. As long as you are not happy when someone dies, that is ok. And the superficial charm is the picking up people’s traits when you are around them. And if that is the case, you are not really feeling emotion. You are just faking it without realizing it. That is what I think, though so don’t get to upset with me. This is the first question I have tried to answer on this website.
Means you're normal. Few people under the age of 20 have a solid idea of what they want to do and who they wish to be. Propagation of interests is precisely how you develop a taste or distaste for certain things. If you wish to be a pioneer, it's a matter of exploring more diverse circles (internet helps with this) and possessing the charisma to 'infect' your peers with the same passion (internet interferes with this). Even in the highest form, the creators, they're all inspired by their experiences (and combinations thereof) rather than granted insights by some hidden insight (although geniuses may possess such skills).
If you haven't had someone close to you die, the pain wouldn't resonate; simple words don't convey it adequately (schools at least try to teach some respect for it); conversely, if you've experienced such loss early or repeatedly, it could be a coping mechanism.
Online tests are bs (see sturgeon's law). You're better off using that time to learn who you are, than being told what a checklist thinks you are. Psychiatrists / psychologists use such tools (in a more complex way, complementing their own observations) to save time in classification, not because they have the highest accuracy.
Aaaaand we are sending him mixed messages. Great.
