Do you think i'm a psychopath?
I have had several times where a friend or someone else I know either says they think I'm a psychopath or comment that my thoughts or behavior is psychopathic.
Honestly it doesn't make a difference to me if I am or not and the only reason I care enough to ask this is to gain insight to myself out of curiosity.
There are qualities I have that suggest either answer. First I will list why I ask this.
- I have little understanding of emotion. I can feel good or bad but anything beyond that confuses me.
- I cannot think of anything I've ever felt guilty of. Guilt doesn't make sense to me because I don't understand why someone would do something they would regret.
- I had lots of behavior problems as a kid including thousands of dollars of damage from vandalism.
- I have violent and sadistic fantasies regularly.
- I don't care much for peoples feelings. I perceive them as a weakness.
- I never feel anxious or worried about anything nor do I understand why anyone does. Once again I perceive it as a weakness.
- I look down people who are self loathing, emotionally sensitive, or otherwise emotionally weak.
- I think people who get screwed over because they were naïve usually deserve it. I don't excuse myself from this either. (For example my bong was stolen last night and I think I should have been more careful and not left it on the porch.)
- I do not understand romance or why people desire romantic relationships.
- I feel no reward from doing good deeds.
- I cannot tolerate boredom and need to be constantly active.
- I am very impulsive and usually act on things simply because I thought of doing it.
- I have angry outbursts when provoked.
- I do not care about rules or laws. They're meaningless to me.
- I do not care about the emotional meanings of words. They mean nothing to me.
- I have no shame. I proudly express myself however I want.
- I don't have a problem taking what I want.
- There are many things I would kill someone for.
- I have been arrested several times and have done way much more I could have gone to jail for.
Now I will list some things that suggest I am not psychopathic.
- I am very friendly to everyone until they give me a reason not to.
- I do not lie any more than the average person.
- I feel no need to hide who I am. I would rather live with everyone judging me than pretend to be someone else.
- I like animals a lot and would never hurt pets but I may kill someone who does.
- I care a lot about human rights.
- I feel very strongly against abuse, especially towards children.
- I don't mind helping people who actually need it.
- I care about the people close to me.
- I would only kill someone who deserved it although I know I would feel very good about doing it.
- I'm mostly a good person and don't do anything that bad.
