Keep in mind, I know people with low/no empathy, which is a trait of psychopaths. I also know some people with narcissistic personality disorder. They are some of the kindest, most generous, caring people I know. Lacking empathy does not make you a bad person, it simply means that you struggle to be able to imagine yourself in someone’s else’s shoes and feel what they are feeling. It says nothing about your ability to feel sympathy, to be kind, to be helpful, or anything else. PsychologyToday did a great article about this:https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/hide-and-seek/201505/empathy-vs-sympathy

When I was a freshman in college, we all had to take psych evals. I tested on some level of psychopathy. When I explained my situation, it cleared a lot up. I'd just moved 1200 miles from home, had no friends yet, and coming from a sunny climate to a rainy one hadn't seen the sun in 6 weeks. Toss in PMS and voila! I tested a little over the edge, but wasn't. Not then. Not now. Sometimes life just takes it all out of a person. With determination and help, we fill back up again. Riding the waves of doubt through to the 'sunny' side so we don't train our brains to be okay with obsessing is worth the struggle.

Try to keep in mind that not all psychopaths are bad people. They just don’t have the same emotions as most of society has. There are psychopaths out there that are normal people and do not cause harm to anyone .

Compulsion felt wanted in moment
Why did the compulsion/test people told me I did felt very wanted in the moment. But then I regret it now and afterwards. Still a compulsion, correct? It just didn't feel like a compulsion, but then again I don't know what those feel like

help
i did something terrible trying to prove to myself that I can get """arousal""" even without being attracted because i was very nervous about pocd, I thought about several people that i'm not attracted to and then i did it thinking about a loved one and now I can't stop crying, It was very disgusting, I didn't even want to do it because I didn't feel good, but it's because I wanted to prove to myself that, I don't know. I just wanted to relieve the anxiety but it only got worse because I felt horrible doing it. I never want to do it again. im not attracted to this person, nor do I feel anything like that for them, but I feel terrible now, I've never been so scared. i want to apologize to them too. is this compulsion????? what was i doing? why did i do this, i feel horrible but i i want to test myself again, i don't know why (im using a translator, there may be something wrong, please help me)

What am I doing? Compulsion?
Trigger warning So I can’t stop wondering if I was attracted to this kid I saw a few days ago because I felt something that felt like genuine attraction, it made me worried I was a p, so I tried to leave the place immediately. I also had urges to look to check if I was attracted or not and urges to not to look. All of it made me feel like a genuine P. What is all of this I’m doing, are they compulsions? Or are they pr3detory actions?
