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

I wish I hadn't come across it, just convinces me I'm the worst

May I ask how you came across that on Facebook?

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?
