I wish that i was a sociopath.

14 Comments

I know this sounds bad, but I wish that I was a sociopath, and didn't have any feelings, and didn't care about other people.

You see, I'm a very sensitive person, it doesn't take make for me to cry, even if someone is mildly mad at me.
I hate that, I hate being weak. I care too much about what others think of me, the thought of disappointing, or making someone angry scares me.

That's why I wish that I had no emotions.
I think my life would be better if I just didn't feel anything.

Is this normal?

    I said you don't have to be a sociopath to do that.
    I'm insensitive, have very little emotion and don't care if people don't like me.
    At the same time I doubt I am a sociopath although I have a few traits of the disorder.
    I'm perfectly capable of caring about others, I don't lie anymore than anyone else and I'm almost always friendly.
    I will say it's nice not having much feeling though. The only thing that makes it hard is I do not understand others whatsoever and am easily annoyed by peoples emotional reactions.

    Well, from what I have been told (not to be taken seriously, but meh) I am a sociopath, and it isn't all that fun. Sure, you don't hurt as much, but you aren't able to be "happy".

    I doubt you'd find it much better. They're just as troubled in life but in different ways.

    I understand how you feel. I am a very, very emotionally sensitive person, and I often find myself wishing that I had no emotions. I am jealous of people who say that nothing bothers them, that they don't care about anything. Caring too much feels like a curse.

    Being sensitive is a strength. It makes us more able to make close friendships with people and more able to form good bonds in a relationship. What it literally means is that we are more able to pick up on the emotions of other people and act on them, and being able to know how other people feel quickly is definitely an advantage; it allows us to be social and we are social animals.

    It does not make you weak, and it does not make you less likely to succeed and be happy. For every time sensitivity makes you feel weak or upset, there is at least one time where it helped you even if you didn't notice it. Sensitive people win in the end, you just have to learn to be more stoic and patient and learn from every mistake until that time. Eventually you can have the benefits of sensitivity all the time without having to endure the hardships so often.

    Imagine having conversations with normal people and suddenly for them to get extremely angry at you (maybe at times violent) for no apparent reason. Because you have no empathy, you can't understand why they're so upset.

    It must seem like the entire world is filled with angry insane people and that you're the only sane person alive. I wouldn't want that.
