Is it normal to have all the symptoms of psychopathy, except apathy?
impaired sense of smell (I can't distinguish any smell)
when I was a child, my teacher complained to my mother that I was a "manipulator", and did a lot of violent drawings, involving knives, blood and stuff. (I never felt like killing anyone at that age).
I also lied a lot, and constantly tried to make mistakes of my actions on others. (I have a kind of superpower that allows me to voluntarily vomit, without having to stick my finger in my throat), so I pretended I was sick at school and vomited, to go home. My mom took me to a series of hospitals and exams to see what I had in my belly that made me vomit so much, and it was only today, after growing up, that I realized that I was lying, and in the past (as a kid) I didn't feel bad about my mother worrying about me.
I also had several existential crises, around my 9-10 years old. I even theorized that nobody in the world was real, and only I existed and had a will of my own. I also felt superior to other children, and I was angry when someone else was "superior" to me.
There were cases where I was apathetic, i remember once that a man had a motorcycle accident almost in front of me, and I just ignored it and moved on, while a crowd was forming around him. But in general, I was always empathetic with others, and felt the need to establish friendships. Nowadays, I realize that I was a strange child, but the only thing I kept was my impaired sense of smell, besides, I am a more responsible person, and better in general. But every now and then, I find myself thinking, is it normal that I had all these symptoms as a child? (I had never been through anything traumatic, no abuse or anything like that).
flashy title btw xD
