Don’t take my word for it, but I’m pretty certain psychopaths are incapable of being scared of being a psychopath. If you genuinely feel no remorse taking an animal’s life or inflicting pain, then you might have something to be concerned about, but those can be confusing criteria, and being apathetic can be caused by extreme trauma and mental illness, which does not condemn you, it just means you need help. Idk what ‘symptoms’ you refer to, but plenty of kids bully, even people I know who are now the kindest and most giving souls, used to enjoy hunting for sport and only reflected and felt guilt later in life. And choose to change and be kind. You are not a forgone conclusion, you get to choose what and who you care about, and if you choose to care and do the right thing, psychopathy is not something you need concern yourself with ever again.
@Lost- thanks so much you dont understand how better you made me feel ❤️❤️
@denidom I’m very glad I could help
From what I’ve read if your worried about being a psychopath then your probably not, they don’t worry about being one they just are I think. Seeking some help and talking to a professional about it could be a good option. I know OCD is a doubting disorder and can make you feel as if you are one or make you worry that you could be, just have to ignore ocd’s crappy ways.
@Mitch4 Thanks so much ❤️
Yup, I’ve heard the same thing - psychopaths don’t care if they’re a psychopath, because that’s the nature of it. So if you’re worried that you’re a psychopath, that’s a pretty good indicator that you’re not one!
(20f) I have been dealing with severe OCD symptoms for as long as I can remember. I recently got diagnosed about a year ago, and even though I know that these thoughts are probably my ocd, I still cant shake them. Growing up I was always very sexually curious. I was sheltered from a lot of things, as I went to a private school and things like sexuality and sex were never talked about. I remember doing some weird sexual things growing up (never affecting another person), looking up taboo sexual things, etc. I always seemed to become aroused no matter what the situation was, even if I just saw someone getting changed. I have no recollection of being SA'd, so i'm wondering where this all came from? Was I just curious and wanted to experiment and try different things? Or am I really a pervert, pedophile, etc. I have all these thoughts racing through my head and it's killing me. Everything I did as a kid I look back on and am disgusted, as those don't align with my views at all today. I never thought growing up thinking these things were wrong, or actually realize what they were until I got older. I'd like to think it was just my curiosity, but i'm not sure. What if i'm in denial and actually do like these things? I just need to know if theres something wrong w me, I cant keep going on like this. Could really use some advice.
Hi I just have a few questions! (Im 14 btw) Okay so basically I’m really worried I’ll become a pedo/I already am and I don’t know it yet. I’m also really scared if I SA someone, even tho I don’t want to and I’d never do something like that but I feel like this part of me is saying that I will and it’s really scaring me. I feel so alone and I’m so scared I’m a bad person on the inside and this isn’t ocd and I’m gonna unleash hell on this earth I’m so scared. I’ll get a thought like if I’m walking past someone random it will be like “What if you sa them?” And it scares me so bad I feel horrible for thinking that. Is this apart of it? I feel like I’m always fixated on the topic of sa to check if I would do something like that, I don’t know anymore I just feel like a bad person (btw I have not done anything like that to anyone!)
I am so scared of everything .Of my thoughts.If I am a good person.Years ago I didnt help a kid who was in danger.Since then I started to have terrible thoughts :( i am so terrified.I still have these thoughts and I am scared it means something about me .I really dont want to hurt anyone and I want to help that kid now but idk how I can now.Also I am scared I betray everyone.I still have terrible thoughts and when I am with someone I care is worse...idk why.For example I started to talk with a collegue and he is really nice to me.I told him some things abt me( not the intrusive thoughts) and he was supportive.I have no idea if I will tell anyone abt my thoughts..and bcs of that I feel like I lie to them and betray them.I really want to enjoy my life and be happy and support people( especially because I didnt help that kid then).I want to live up to my morals now but I feel like I lie and manipulate people bcs I am a monster.Is this normal? To feel this way? What can I do? What if I am my worst fear and just cant accept it?!
