Dec 17, 2016 Basically: I don't feel a lot of empathy with people. I mean, I would never steal something from my friends/family and I like them. But I also feel a bit "empty". My grandpa had a stroke and he can't breathe/walk properly now. I know I should feel sorry for him but I just feel disgusted and a few weeks ago when I had to bring him to the hospital I wished he'd just die. I only like people who I can profit from in some kind of way/or they don't bother me. If people ask stuff from me even if it's something small I start to hate them.
Dec 17, 2016 Ye, you're a psychopath and this is not normal. I would HIGHLY recommend seeing a therapist.
Dec 17, 2016 I read somewhere that asperger or something on the autism spectrum reduces empathy. I'm not sure tbh and I'd never go to a therapist, what are they going to do? I don't feel like this impacts my life in such a big way and it's not a problem. I just wanted to see if someone else also feels like this.
Dec 17, 2016 Also when people ask for a favor i first think about what they've done for me/how the could help me in the future.
Dec 17, 2016 I don't see what's cool about this I'd rather be a social guy with many loved ones around me.
Dec 17, 2016 Just talking to someone one on one changes a lot tbh. And I know a friend who I believed to be a sociopath so I made her take a test and she scored highly in psychopathy. I then decided to research it. From the inside, it may seem like it doesn't change anything but it affects the people around you. People are really good at sensing whether you care about them or not. My friend alienates a lot of people and she doesn't even know it. And you also end up attracting other sociopaths which just keeps the cycle of non-empathy going. Ironically, psychopaths always think there's nothing wrong with being one which prevents them from getting treatment. Would highly recommend seeing a clinical psychologist.
Dec 17, 2016 20 Edgyboiz2k16 We outchea LSD seems to raise my empathy. I even cried because I felt sorry for my dad who works to feed us. But those feelings are temporary.
Dec 17, 2016 WTF That poor grandpa story is sick man ... It all gonna comeback to you one day remmeber that
Dec 17, 2016 I try to feel sorry man but my brain doesn't seems to process stuff. I feel disgusted because he keeps coughing and making noises.
Dec 17, 2016 i dont and i wont cosign this ... However i blame your parents ... i think @Ordinary Joel OR @Loyalty Can help you
Dec 17, 2016 I mean.. I can see 50/50. The grandpa thing is definitely a negative though. Seeing someone close to you shouldn't make you look like them like a disgusting bug. Maybe it won't hit you that he's in that condition, but it will in the future, and you'll feel like s--- for looking at him like that. As for the empathy thing, I think your exaggerating a little. My friend doesn't like freeloaders or people he doesn't do anything for him. As anything I mean make him happy, laugh, feel sorry, any type of emotion or action. He basically hates extra people in his life. I don't think you're a physco for that part.
Dec 17, 2016 Yeah probably this. I'm not fully emotionless. I probably just haven't realized the situation or something.
Dec 17, 2016 I understand you. Dunno your life, but most people turn into what you are due to lies and problems in there past so its common
