Is it normal to have different mindsets?

I've lived my life with supposedly strong morals. For instance, there was a situation a little while back where I made it my own personal mission to get a pedophile arrested. Somehow I was the only person to seek helps about the situation.

Thing is, the more I think about it, I don't think I was feeling a need for justice. I think I was angry at him for being like me.

I'm not a pedophile at all- I'm still just a kid. What I mean is, he ruins lives. He manipulates people till they're empty husks willing to do anything he says.

On a day to day basis, I feel nothing for no one. All I feel is anger when things don't go my way, and boredom toward everyone around me. That includes folks I care about. The only time I ever really Feel anything is when I'm manipulating and hurting people.

Now, I'll say that, but then all that fades away when I do something else. At that point I think, "what was all that about?", and continue to keep helping others.

I'm the person my friends rely on for emotional support, and yet I want to destroy them emotionally and physically half the time.

Is it Normal to have clashing mindsets? Which one is the real me?

    How do you manipulate and hurt people exactly? your'e probably exaggerating your negative qualities in your head and being too hard on yourself or??.. kinda feel ya though.. sometimes i can be really empathetic and compassionate but other times i'm selfish and uncaring to an extent but i'd never hurt anybody intentionally though.. guess the part of my brain controling emotional regulation is kinda screwed:p but I'm sure I still have a strong conscience.

      Yeah what he said. I consider myself introverted, yet i still like to support and talk to others occasionaly. I also sometimes think of manipulating those same people. Its called not having a mono-dimensional personality. I think

    Maybe you're a sociopath?
