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.

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.

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!

Is this apart of ocd?
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!)

Tw I am so scared
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?!

Please help!!!
TW! please someone comment When I was 12 or 13 I used to babysit a little girl, she had a habit of keeping her hand in her diaper and was always touching herself, there was one point I was changing her diaper and noticed she was really red. I had separated her private parts and checked the inner area for signs of infection. She was okay, just some really really bad diaper rash. I know this is what happened yet my brain is trying to convince me that I hurt her, and that I wanted to do it, I know I would never hurt a child but with all the anxiety I feel when I think about it I'm starting to wonder if I did do it because I wanted to hurt her, I don't wanna be a p, I don't wanna hurt innocent children, I used to never have these thoughts but now I do and I'm so scared to tell my therapist as she hasn't diagnosed me with ocd yet. I don't want her to think I'm a p nor do I wanna hurt kids, but my brain keeps telling me that I do and that I'm just lying to myself and everyone around me, ik I would never do something that could harm a child but I keep getting these thoughts and their inappropriate and I just want them to stop, does anyone have any tips on how to help myself? I keep turning to my boyfriend for reassurance but ik that that's just a quick fix and that ill be spiraling about it again.Please help
