Diagnosed Psychopath AMA

I'm curious if that was a lie. My bets on yes based off the information you yourself provided in this thread.

You've also provided me with a bit of self awareness on my own side. I can now see how automatically me and others empathise with others. I have to actively suppress the feeling of empathy when typing this message to you. I wouldn't be surprised if something I said, I said because I'm empathetic and just didn't catch it.

For example I had the urge to tell you, that you scare me, because the only thing stopping everyone from being 100% selfish is empathy and you lack it, it really shows how much power a person can have when they lose empathy, but power isn't everything to me, I'd personally rather keep it.

The reason I have that urge I believe is because of empathy, the feeling of connecting with someone by sharing information on certain levels. Even though me saying I'm scared of you isn't really connecting with someone on an emotional level, part of me hopes you will appreciate me saying that and take away something from it, and that's kind of pointless for me to invest any sort of cares about you taking away something from something I said because you can't reciprocate any of my feelings.

I feel like that wasn't very well articulated, but I'm tried and 50%of the reason I'm even making this comment is because I want to talk to you, a psychopath.

I also have these question if you would bother to respond.

Have you ever tried to empathise with people? I mean really tried, like actually made a dedicated effort to relate to someone and or care for someone. Because it seems like you may have a very, very, very low sense of empathy, if not empathy at least thoughts about the general well being of people outside of yourself.

Have you thought about killing yourself logically? How prevalent is boredom in your life? Having no meaning is something a lot of people take a hit from that makes them consider suicide, but you have even less to strive for than most, getting most good sensations from winning apparently. It's sort of philosophical question about whether life is worth the struggle. It's a toss up for a lot of people, but most keep living anyway because we're biologically programmed to survive. However with you life is so devoid of so many sensations, all you seem to have to drugs, winning and sex. Granted you also can't feel the more profound sadness, but drugs eventually lose the impact, and so does winning if you start getting it consistently enough. And all you need to do is look at statements from sex addicts to see how much they really enjoy it after a while.

Forget the question "Would the world be better off without me in it?", I'm talking about "Is the struggle to win, get sex and take drugs, worth the effort to get these things after a while?" After time all those thing will lose their appeal, perhaps causing you to escalate to more extreme measures to cure boredom/lack of meaningful sensation, maybe even killing someone for the risk.

Seems to me if you continue living, you either deal with the boredom, and rely on you biological instinct to keep yourself alive to keep living. Or you just keep on escalating until you probably die anyway.

This is all speculation, and if I've completely missed the mark on this one then I guess I've just missed the mark of this one. But if I said something worth thinking about, it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on it.

Also what media products that feature psychopaths have you seen and how accurate were they?
