I don't have any compassion. Like if someone is hurt or crying, I don't really care. I mean, I don't enjoy it, ok, but I don't feel bad either, and I won't go too much out of my way to help.
I am like whatever dude, you know? Is it bad?

You are not a sociopath, just an egoist. It's not "bad" (or good). Just one of many traits. Lots of people are egoists actually. But most of them learned to fake caring. You probably will too at some point (I am assuming you are fairly young).

Hello, Psyche!  What is your name? Do you mind telling a little bit about yourself - how old you are, what you do etc.? You say "I don't enjoy it, ok, but I don't feel bad either" ... Can you clarify? What do you feel exactly? Perhaps, give me an example or, better, three examples? |

You probably will too at some point (I am assuming you are fairly young). I don't think I am an egoist. If you ask me to help you, I will do it. If you need something I have, I will share. But I don't feel what you feel. If you are blue, I don't care. |

What do you feel exactly? Perhaps, give me an example or, better, three examples? I thought this was anonymous? What do I feel? I don't know, I guess, I just get annoyed. Like my GF gets a C on a test because she didn't remember to bring her binder, and now she is all upset and crying, because she is not getting high honors for the semester ... And I am like... duh, what do yuo want me to do? It's like I don't want her to be sad, because it annoys me, but I don't really care that she is, I just want it to end, that's all. |

I thought this was anonymous? Yes, of course! You don't have to tell things about yourself, that you don't want to share, but knowing something about you helps people come up with a advice. It's a balance, you know. Besides, it's just nice to be able to call people by name when you are talking with them. I am Tony for example BTW, nobody said it would have to be real name  .... What do I feel? I don't know, I guess, I just get annoyed. Like my GF gets a C on a test because she didn't remember to bring her binder, and now she is all upset and crying, because she is not getting high honors for the semester ...

I have good news for you: you are not sociopath Also, you do have compassion. Empathy - maybe, not so much, but that's in general a much less common quality (and even those who have a lot of it don't usually let out as much). Tell me this. Are you ever sad or blue yourself? Can you remember some instance of that? |
