The fact that i recognize it's something wrong somehow makes my condition less worse i think. Can you help me?
>>
>>18387421
Go to a doctor.
>>
>>18387422
Medicines can only do so much about my condotion, there's no real "cure", it's more of a psychological matter. How do you normal people usually interact with others?
>>
>>18387446
Nobody is "normal" they're just brain damaged in other ways.
>>
>>18387458
Quite a vague answer dude
>>
>>18387421
First step is to find somebody who know this stuff (psycholog?) and let him help you.

Why dont you tell us what is wrong? Why do you feel like psycho? Hurting others? No empathy? Seeling people as objects? Abused as kid?

And no, nobody will lock you up on mental ward if you havent done anythibg yet and are willing to improve yourself.

So what is wrong op?
>>
>>18387469
What do you want me to say? You need to seek mental help if you care at all about how this may affect people and all that might do is teach you how to behave, you can't change the way your brain is wired.
>>
>>18387482
I treat friends like object. I only hang out with them as long as i'm interested, i have no feelings towards them even if i've known em since childhood. I hang out with them only because i'm forced by the circumstances and because just ignoring them would be socially unacceptable, but i still try to avoid them as much as possible. I'm also a compulsory liar and make up shit about my past to impress people. I pretend to be some kind of philosophy-music expert while i only do vague notionism, or even having some kind of violent childhood. And although i recognize i'm the one with problems by being able to rationalize, i can't help but feel within me that i'm better than anyone else.
>>
>>18387504
Sounds like you are semi psychopath. I talked to one here recently, explaining to him how you cant fake personality and love to girlfriend because normal people have empathy and you cant fake having feelings 24/7.

It is good that you realize you arent "normal" (dont worry, nobody is normal) so your next step is to seek professional help. If you are able to stay within laws and dont make people around you suffer too much, you will be fine.

A lot of social interactions can be taught and you can have happy life with a bit of practice and patience. Try to not lie too much and really seek psycholog who will help you to find the way in your life.

>feel better than anyone else
That is normal. We all have it :-)

So what do you want from your life? Any notable goals and achievements? Do you have something you enjoy doing? What do you do to relax? Do you feel like exploding and hurting people around you? How do you deal with stress and anger?
>>
Psychiatry dude from last week here. I study monsters and psychopaths in particular. Let .e tell you this. There is no cure, no therapy and no medication for your disorder. The best you can do is, go far away from society, live like a hermit. Otherwise you'll be convicted in the not so far future and put away forever and that's good. Psychopathy is literally the worst thing you can have. At least Borderliners can recover. You can't.
>>
Thanks for the support.

>>18387556
I feel like i'm a borderline though, i can still distinguish between right and wrong, but i'm still somehow careless
>>18387527
Honestly i have no real, definite goal. I just want a quiet life, doing a job that i like and that will grant me just enough to live decently (unlike most psychopaths i'm not so ambitious, but i'd still use people if i have to). I kinda like reading, listening to music, playing videogames and go to the gym. I have quite a lot of intrusive thoughts reoccuring during the day, especially when i'm with friends: i think about how easily i could hurt them and obtain their hate; just an instant could ruin years of friendship. The thought of it scares me and makes me extremely sad. When i'm nervous, i usually take a deep breath and start moving my fingers compulsively. When i'm feeling kinda bad i go to the bathroom and try to cry or when angry to punch the wall, but can't feel anything, even trying. It's just a vague mist of negative feelings.
>>
>>18387446
Fuck off, I'm not teaching you to be a more effective monster.
>>
>>18387604
Honestly the more you tell me this kinda stuff the more i want to be the monster you're afraid of. Only slightly though, after all you're just another anon in the internet. I want to heal myself.
>>
>>18387421

have you heard about our lord and savior Jesus Christ?
>>
>>18387614
But you already admitted you can't heal yourself.
>>
>>18387614
Oh fuck off.
>>
>>18387601
You're not a psychopath, you're just a dick.
>>
>>18387634
I can't because i don't know how.
>>18387641
Ok, then how do i stop being a dick?
>>
>>18387446
>Medicines can only do so much about my condotion
Eh, what's your condition, assuming you've been diagnosed by something other than a web questionnaire?

Cuz emotional desensitization and lack of empathy can often be the result of a serotonin imbalance, and there's a lot of medicines that can work wonders for that, if it's the primary cause, as it often is.
>>
>>18387601
>unlike most psychopaths i'm not so ambitious
Most psychopaths are extremely unambitious and introverted as fuck.

You've been reading too many horror novels and /x/ political conspiracies, and have just ended up self diagnosing yourself.
>>
>>18387647
The only horror i read is Lovecraft, never even browsed /x/.
>>18387644
Can you suggest me some?
>>
>>18387649
>Can you suggest me some?
I could, but I don't want to be responsible if you buy them of the shadynet and off yourself. Go see a psychiatrist.

A lot of the things you are describing (such as constantly lying to make yourself look better), are not the actions of a psychopath though. You probably have some problem (as others have pointed out, everyone does), but it sounds as though you've latched onto this particular label.

Assuming you're in the US, and you want to see a psyche on the down-low, you can look up your local social worker's office and get one for free without your folks knowing (I'm guessing you're a youngin).

Mind, however, that you tell him that you are going to act on suicidal or homicidal thoughts (homicidal/suicidal fantasies or thoughts, fine, plans to act on them, no.) - I mean, unless you really are and want "extreme and immediate" professional help.
>>
>>18387657
>that you tell him
that you DON'T tell him*
>>
>>18387657
I see. Thanks for the help.
>>
>>18387643
If you know the difference between right and wrong, just don't choose wrong. When you have the choice between hurting someone and not hurting them, don't hurt them. Be nice. It's not actually complicated.
>>
>>18387673
That's what i've been trying to do but it's destroying me

Psychopathy is an inherent disorder in brain function and has not and will never have a cure. It's permanent. You were born with it.

Since you took a fucking internet quiz there are a few other things that may have gotten you the same results and I'll tell u what they r and how to fix them

1. U are actually a sociopath. This is a psychopath except instead of inherent brain function, your brain function was impaired due to early trauma. This is just as permanent a problem, but you can at least manage it and selectively choose to feel empathy and shit like that or

2. You're a narcissist. Go see a therapist and expect to spend 2+ years and possibly see multiple specialists to get over your problems. Reform is most likely if you are a narcissist.
>>
>>18387421
CBT.
A psychologist (no meds) can help you.
Or buy a CBT for dummies book.

Oh, and go to confession.

I am serious. It helps.
At least try it once.

You can not want to start caring about others for the sake of caring about others if you are a psychopath. You may want to blend in, and seem like you care. That you are already doing. You may be frustrated because of this wasted effort in something that brings you no joy. Friendships can be made less active. Get some alone hobbies that you enjoy doing that eat up your time. Something dangerous that you would really enjoy. Do not seek help. Do not out yourself.
My best regards,
Someone just like you.
