When i was younger, my siblings and i were abused by my grandmother, physically and emotionally. Eventually my mother came to her senses and kicked her out of the house. When she was gone i finally had freedom, and did bad things and it got worse over time, from shoplifting to hurting animals and emotionally abusing my siblings. I was 15 when it got bad, I started thinking of hurting people and things, and my tolerance for certain things became extremely low. Now even though that i'm 19 i haven't changed, i can't feel, nor care about anyone even in my personal life. Should i get help?

    It is normal if you were neglected and abused as a young child but you can change. It sounds like you are concerned and want to change so take small steps so that you don't overwhelm yourself and remember it took years to get this way and it may take years to overcome it all. Don't be too hard on yourself. Maybe you could start by apologising to people you hurt and go from there. Even if you don't fully mean it it probably would mean a lot to those people and you'll see a change in how they treat you...and see how making someone else feel good makes you feel good and so on. Just a suggestion...I am not really qualified to give such advice, I'm just saying do small things first and don't go all in trying to adopt a shelter dog or some other crazy difficult undertaking right away.

    It is definitely not normal to think like this. Especially when it comes to hurting other people and animals. I understand that you have had a rough childhood. The fact that you ask this question tells me that you don't think it is normal either. You are still young, and it is never to late to change. I suggest you get help from someone. Like I said: it is never too late to change.

    Do you still hurt animals? might be better to get into hunting where you can do it legally.

        See you are even thinking like your beloved Grandma...I rest my case. Open the Motel and call it "Bates Inn" in memory of your beloved grandma of whom you have become a carbon copy!
