If your posting on these forums and announcing it to everyone I do belive you are fine. A real screwed up person would keep it locked up inside FOREVER. Its probably just something you will get over, I dont know I am normal and i dont carebear people or feed in.

In my opinion your normal.

"Psychopaths are vindictive and hold grudges. They never regret or forget a thing. They are driven, and dangerous."

Are you dangerous?

Hopefully that answers your question.

I hate my mother 2....does that make me a sociopath? I don't think so. It makes my mother an abusive heartless self centered money grubbing prostitute...her problem, not mine...

The reason you ask for help on line is because here you have no face, you have no personal identity you are just an assimilation of words on a screen. You can never ever really know some one through words alone.


xxDinniexx: I am very much like you, not exclusively to feelings of guilt or empathy. I feel nothing but sadness all the time. I would not say i am to self absorbed to care, tho i have been told i am. I fake relationships to keep others happy, i feign interest to appease others. I was not always this way i had too many painful experiences and eventually everything just numbed, if you place no hope or interest or sense of trust in anyone else you will never be let down. You will never have to deal with disappointment. Alot of people in my life feel they understand me, and yet they know nothing about me, which is not their fault but at the same time i have no interest in letting them near enough to hurt me.

I think your feeling nothing is a way of protecting yourself, that is my understanding of my feelings. The only true sense of satisfaction and relief i feel is when i cut myself, i enjoy the pain, i enjoy knowing that i am not as empty as i imagine myself to be. Looking back now i don't think i was ever really normal. I spend my days in my very dark room sitting in front of my PC reading and watching tv. It's not ideal, it is how i survive it is how i am comfortable.

I imagine you, like i, hate the "good times". The family get-to-gethers, the birthday parties that just won't seem to end. I can't seem to appreciate anything, i am pleased i have it in the sense that it enriches me in some way, i just can't feel any sense of gratitude for the gift. I hope you are able to overcome your numbness. I merely accepted mine.

If you ever want to chat just drop me a PM, would be nice to talk to you some time...
