"I was really good friends with a sociopath (not saying you're such) for a really long time before anyone knew. He said that before he saw a doctor he had no idea. He thought _everyone_ was full of shit when they did anything empathetic, things as simple as asking how his day was. He couldn't understand how they could possibly give a fuck because he knew he sure as shit didn't much when he asked the same thing. He felt anyone would steal from anyone if they knew they wouldn't get caught. He thought it was just normal human nature, that everything else was just a charade in the name of social etiquette, that he was normal and sociopaths necessarily strangle rabbits, and it turned his world upside down when he realized he was actually just unusual and that most people aren't lying when they say they care about people, that stealing would make them feel bad, that they really do care about starving children, etc. Not only looking out for himself seemed biologically nonsensical to him and these kind of behaviors were so alien to him that he felt others _had_ to be faking them for most of his life. Essentially he was a sociopath so he assumed everyone else was as well".
You're friend is a fool. It has nothing to do with his mental illness. Yes, you're friend is unusual, but it isn't necessarily untrue that people don't care for others, wouldn't feel bad if they were to steal, etc. People only do and feel things they think they're SUPPOSED to do and feel because of the social contract. They don't actually want to, nor do they feel the things they claim they do. It's all a facade. If people actually were as loving and caring as they claim, then the world wouldn't be so shitty like it is. Sorry, but it is just reality.
"I think you underestimate how different others are. There are strangers who would gladly take a bullet for you and also people you might catch masturbating to your freshly deceased rabbit. Humans are all over the place. Perhaps unsurprisingly there are both people full of shit and people utterly genuine when they say they love someone".
How do we know these strangers are really doing it because of their supposed care for others? It would be a brilliant way of committing suicide without anyone knowing. Plus, these strangers would only be doing it because they feel like they have to. Either way, they wouldn't be doing it because they care for people. Most people that say they love someone ARE full of shit. I know it's hard to accept, but once again, it is just reality.
"I think you're making the mistake of assuming your experience is typical simply because it's _your_ experience. You know you wouldn't mean it if you said something like that so it's difficult to imagine others meaning it. But your individual subjective experience isn't objective and happens to not even be typical or representative of the average in this case".
Not necessarily. Even though I didn't like the words I love you, I loved my mother and would mean it when I told her that. I love my mom, and just knowing my mom will die soon is painful.
That's your mother. I mostly mean romantically right now or as in powerful friendships. There are really only two options here:
1. You know you wouldn't care about them like that, in which case you're making the mistake of thinking everyone is the same.
2. You think you would in fact care that much but that you're the only person in the world who would, which is irrational.
Sure, plenty of people are lying, but to tell people _everyone_ is lying is absurd. If people can anonymously donate their internal organs to strangers then I'm pretty sure there are people out there who can manage to say "I love you" to someone they actually know while meaning it.
Anyway I'm sorry to hear about your mother. I always start processing death ahead of time too. Death sucks.
"1.You know you wouldn't care about them like that, in which case you're making the mistake of thinking everyone is the same.
2. You think you would in fact care that much but that you're the only person in the world who would, which is irrational".
Not at all. It is something we will have to accept sooner or later. Also, I already have made it clear I don't experience romantic attraction, so of course I wouldn't care for them because I don't desire a relationship with them. This isn't the reason why I'm saying what I'm saying. Like I said, it's just how things are.
"Sure, plenty of people are lying, but to tell people _everyone_ is lying is absurd. If people can anonymously donate their internal organs to strangers then I'm pretty sure there are people out there who can manage to say "I love you" to someone they actually know while meaning it".
This is something people are unwilling to admit (which is fine), so of course you're going to say what I'm saying is absurd. Believe what you want. Also, someone donating their organs doesn't mean anything.
People donating their organs is something. Its giving someone a chance at a better life after you have passed (or in cases of transplants you are going above and beyond what is necessary to have someone else live a better life)
Would I donate a kidney to someone I dont know? Of course not. I like the peace of mind of having a replacement organ. If someone needs an organ that I care about I'm willing to lose that contingency organ. If I'm dead? Sure scoop whatever is useful to others out. A half pound of extra ashes really doesnt matter to my next of kin.
People having compassion for others is what moves humanity forward. It's the simple idea that we work better together. Same is true for relationships. Your partner will stay around if you truely love said person and it's a mutual ordeal. People who stay together will have more balanced (mentally) children.
Theres utility in love, something you wont comprehend until you view it in person. Sure you may never experience love or a relationship with another person. That's fine. But shitting on everyone else cannot be the "logical" way to perceive love. I'm logical, yet I'm willing to leave people to their own devices about stimuli that I haven't felt. Since I'm not omniscient and certainly not a genius among simpletons as you imply yourself to be. Which is pretty hysterical truth be told.
Some good points here. I was talking about transplants from the living as well. My primary deterrent from doing that was always the nightmare scenario of a family member later needing the same organ and knowing that there was likely a way better chance of the organ not being rejected in this case, plus the obvious pain of not being able to help a family member I could have.
To be clear I'm not trying to say that if I had no one in my life I would have absolutely done this, but I do know it's something I might have possibly thought over as long as I was really healthy and in a very good place in life.
Yeah I have the same concern in the off chance my brother needs a replacement organ. I dont know if blood type works with organs since I'm a universal donor.
Plus I don't drink enough to warrant an extra kidney. I like to think of it as I'm keeping it warm for someone who might need it in the future.
"People donating their organs is something. Its giving someone a chance at a better life after you have passed (or in cases of transplants you are going above and beyond what is necessary to have someone else live a better life)".
That doesn't mean they are doing it because they care for others. It could be just for the sake of it. They won't need it, because they'll be dead of course, so why not give it to someone else? Assuming they are doing it because they care for others is strange, but assume away.
"People having compassion for others is what moves humanity forward. It's the simple idea that we work better together. Same is true for relationships.

And you proved my point.
"Theres utility in love, something you wont comprehend until you view it in person. Sure you may never experience love or a relationship with another person. That's fine. But shitting on everyone else cannot be the "logical" way to perceive love. I'm logical, yet I'm willing to leave people to their own devices about stimuli that I haven't felt. Since I'm not omniscient and certainly not a genius among simpletons as you imply yourself to be. Which is pretty hysterical truth be told".
No, I don't think it will ever be something I "comprehend" because it is simply just not there, which is something you won't ever comprehend because nobody pays attention to what reality is really like. That, or you just don't want to admit it. Also, shitting on everyone? when? I never shitted on anyone in this thread. I am just telling everyone, and I hate to repeat myself, reality. Also, looking through this whole thread, it does not appear I ever once thought I knew everything or was a genius. I definitely don't know everything, and I'm certainly not Albert Einstein. Never implied that, but if that is how it appears, oh well. Have a nice day.
I was talking about people who decide to anonymously donate their organs while still alive.
In 2014, 3.32% of all kidneys transplanted from living people came from people who wished to never meet the recipient and who wished to remain anonymous regarding the entire thing.
They're not receiving a financial benefit or any sort of clout from this action. There's zero incentive to do this besides simply caring enough about humanity so as to sacrifice one's own internal organ to potentially save the life of any given fellow human being.
If one can care that much about any given person without even knowing them, there are _definitely_ people who can be _madly_ in love with someone they do know well and who is actually special to them at that.
If you're truly aromantic, I suspect that unfamiliarity is not the issue because your point seems less that romantic feelings alone aren't real and more that people just straight up don't give a single fuck about each other. Out of the two possible options I presented, it seems you've gone with the first and are therefore very naively assuming everyone is like you. You may simply possess lower than normal empathy. As long as there's some capacity for it, a mother is a very common exception to the norm. Some experts believe even Ted Bundy did in fact love his mother. I'm not comparing you to him but showing that in even more extreme cases of lacking empathy apparent exceptions for mothers aren't unheard of.
But I must say, your behavior is very unusual for that to be the case. Take usual behavior of asexuals for example. They generally simply don't care for sex or perhaps even think it's pretty disgusting but they don't crusade against it. When you encounter an asexual persistently demanding all sex stop, you've almost certainly encountered a very naturally sexual person who has been scorned in some way and who now wishes or even believes they're asexual.
Well aromantics are the same. They simply have no interest in romance or perhaps even a bit of an aversion to it (like some asexuals with sex) that they mostly keep to themselves or mention in passing when the topic comes up. They certainly don't go on crusades against love, also insisting no one gives a fuck about each other in general. That is not at all normal behavior. Just making this post at all required a lot more effort than indifference warrants.
I'm generally not at _all_ a fan of suggesting someone else has their orientation wrong but in extreme situations sometimes certain very obvious things aren't easily overlooked, and there's simply no denying that your behavior is _remarkably_ more consistent with scorned people who now resent love because it didn't work how they wanted for them rather than people simply not having an interest in it. There's an emotionally charged element to this that really isn't adding up.
But again perhaps the deal is low empathy and the emotion is simply extreme frustration with not understanding why the entire world is faking something in lieu of understanding it isn't faking because it's difficult to wrap your head around being the odd one out. You would be faking, so they must be. That's not logical. This is actually extremely common with low empathy.
At any rate, I hope you find your answers and that you have a nice day.

Sorry pal, but again, this is just the world we're living in. We're just living in a world filled with fake smiles, fake behavior, fake love. Like I said, people are fake. No need to make these unnecessary analyzations, no need to make false conclusions, because that is just not the case. The world is just filled with people that put on a facade. I know this is something that is too much for you to bear, but coming with false conclusions to hide the fact that you are unwilling to accept the true nature of things is not going to change a damn thing. But if you wish to continue, you're free to do so.

Sorry pal, but again, this is just the world we're living in. We're just living in a world filled with fake smiles, fake behavior, fake love. Like I said, people are fake. No need to make these unnecessary analyzations, no need to make false conclusions, because that is just not the case. The world is just filled with people that put on a facade. I know this is something that is too much for you to bear, but coming with false conclusions to hide the fact that you are unwilling to accept the true nature of things is not going to change a damn thing. But if you wish to continue, you're free to do so.
"At any rate, I hope you find your answers and that you have a nice day".
Same for you.
