I saw a thing on Facebook that said Narcissists, psychopatha, and sociopath don't have a sense of empathy. They don't have a sense of empathy and won't develop it, so they can never love anyone..with me feeling empty and not feeling sad or upset a lot and just feeling numb I'm honestly scared I can't feel love and I'm actually crazy....would I know if I was heartless?

the best way to go about this is to leave this question unanswered. the thing with ocd is that not only does it affect our thoughts, but also our feelings. and because ocd wants our fears to feel as real as possible, it’ll give u feelings associated with ur fear. so if u fear that ur apathetic, ur gonna feel apathetic. same goes with attraction. if you want to feel aroused, most likely, ur not gonna feel aroused. so, the best way to go about this is to accept that u may or may not have empathy and that’s okay!! u don’t need to have that question answered to live a happy, long life.

Hey, just wanted to mention that this does sound like a bit of reassurance seeking. If it is then you may be better off using a coping mechanism that is grounding instead, whatever that might be. With that being said, you cant base the totality of your being off of one feeling, or lack of feeling. Whatever your emotional reality is now, its likely to fluctuate, and you will revisit these feelings again. Take your time

That's wierd. The post I mean. And if I feel numb, am I heartless? Sometimes I feel very empty and dry inside and I still do lots of good anf other people don't necessarily know how I'm feeling. So am I heartless?

does anyone else have this

i have such a fear of psychosis and schizophrenia, so i’m scared that i’m going to develop it and lose control over my OCD thoughts. If im very tired and my eyes get heavy i get so scared that im going to go crazy or that i have one or the other. and if i have a panic attack im convinced im going to develop it. does anyone have any tips on how to work though this? i saw a thing online that said people with these dont know the have it and that scared me into thinking i have it and dont know.

How do I know I have OCD?

Hey, so I've never actually been diagnosed with OCD. I did a little bit of research, I always thought OCD was organizing things. But I'm not normal, I have this thing where I feel something isn't right. I obsess over it or if I brush my hand over something correctly then it's fixed. Or I have to do this thing on stairs, I'll walk up a few or down them because something isn't right. I read this thing on memories. I know something happened, but then I doubt myself to the point I don't know if it happened. And I think too logically in relationships. I'll put statistics on things and if they might not work out I distance myself, there's other odd things I do. My family always told me I was fine but then said things like I was messed up, and said to just ignore what I felt. Like I was making it up. I don't know what to do, I don't have a doctor currently, I was never diognosed. Is there a way to be sure I have it? Or a way to stop everything? I just want to stop everything, please and thank you. Sorry for the long post. If anyone can help, I would be so thankful.

Paranoia

Paranoia… I need to know because I’m feeling very alone in this. I’ve never met someone with the level of paranoia that I have. I can logically explain things to myself and somehow my paranoia convinces me of another story. I’m constantly thinking exaggerated thoughts that there are so many scary possibilities. Am I alone in this or what? If so any suggestions on how to calm these thoughts
