it boils down to i have never felt guilty for anything i have ever done my whole life ever...
ive felt worry about being caught... ive been ashamed after being caught but i have never had a guilty conscious...

we talked about different scenarios and what i would do and he decided what seperates me from a psychopath is that i have morals...


that means good parenting is really all that seperated me from being a normal functioning adult and being a serial killer...
its been an interesting 24 hours since i found this out...


just wondering if i am the only one lol...

    when i was younger they knew i had problems feeling empathy... like seeing someone i love in pain i cant understand what they are feeling...
    i can go over all the grimy things ive done that i dont feel guilty about but ive already done that with my therapist.
    i have never felt guilt. never not once.

    he said i am a borderline sociopath

    Real ? , morals, empathy, and emotions are all overrated.

    Unnecessary even.

    u may not understand or care what they are feeling, but you still acknowledge their existence, you are conscious of that u conscious of yourself, your surroundings...do you have a switch where you turn it off and on?

    no i dont have a switch... im always on... we've talked about alot of my "emotions" are how ive been taught to act and how i have seen others act not really how i feel.
    i originally started therapy for an anger problem but its gotten pretty deep... i know some of you other cats go to therapy but too scared to put that ? out there like i did...

    its okay though... at least i am finding out who i really am instead of who the whole system of school/church molded me into...

    hopefully everyone comes to this point someday...

    ? seems pointless, if you have what others call "morals", you're relatively close to being a "normal" person. Making the lack of empathy rather insignificant for societal living. If you consider things "right" or "wrong" and it coincides with what the majority considers "right" or "wrong", then that's what separates you from being a serial killer.

    Now, if you were immoral--or even amoral like myself--then it'd be something interesting.

    never been to therapy, thats usually for people who are "conscious" that they have some type of problem, and want to get to the root of that problem...thats cool tho, that you're discovering things about yourself..you probably could have figured this out on your own without a therapist, but everyone is different..

    Developed, one can have the potential to become a serial killer without becoming one.

    The anger problem is why i started therapy and i kept going...
    the thread should really say i have never felt sympathy,empathy or remorse.

    by how ive been taught to act i mean...
    i did some ? and made my mama cry...
    if i didnt ACT remorseful my punishment would have been worse...
    i ? my wifes cousin almost monthly and everytime her cousin told my wife i didnt feel bad i just didnt want my wife to leave so i pretended to be remorseful...
    if i say something hurtful to my current s/o i dont say sorry i said that i say sorry that what i said bothers you.


    i been over my anger problem mostly...

    i dunno... this isnt really what i wanted to get into... i was just really wondering if i was the only person on here that feels this way...

    I've been wanting o go to a therapist bu not because of a particular feeling. I've always just wondered about what they might tell me about myself. Some ? that I might think is normal but really isn't.
