Huh, interesting. I'm autistic and I tend to personify objects, but if I'm with people I might turn it into a joke, because I mean come on, the idea that eg. a hammer is now happy because something happened to it is pretty funny.
I can't be mean to NPCs in games. I say "sorry" to my robot vacuum if I bump it with a door or something, and I encourage it when it's struggling with an obstacle. I think my electric kettle is happy when I use it to make tea. All in all it's pretty funny that I know objects (probably!) don't have emotions, but of course they have emotions.
