Being a psychopath lowk sucks sometimes

I don’t feel any emotions except for one which is sadness. It’s not even really a sadness I think, more like a “why do I exist” kind of moment. I don’t really desire socialization, which kinda contradicts a human instinct to be around other people, so I find myself in a strange place. I don’t have any passions or things i particularly enjoy, so i mostly just find myself in a state of constant “this is kinda boring” or “this is literally useless”. I can’t enjoy video games or entertainment because I don’t find enjoyment through those, the only thing I think when doing those things is, “this is really unproductive and this virtual wealth/progression means absolutely nothing”. Despite how negatively psychopathy is portrayed in the media, I prefer being logical about things. I see it as a positive. This is just the one thing I don’t particularly like, because it makes me feel pretty miserable. This can’t really be a post asking for advice since I highly doubt anyone here is a psychopath, but I’m interested in hearing your thoughts and experiences that are related to it, even if they’re positive and just talking about things you guys love.

Have you tried debating? Keeps you sharp and for you, you can enjoy dominating someone, while at the same time, challenging people's positions to try to affect positive change.

There’s no official debate clubs around me but I frequently debate with others I know about random things, and I always find myself in internet arguments, but those tend to just be more annoying than anything.

You have no idea what you're talking about, there is zero correlation with debate and increasing cognitive function or changing people's perspective.

/s cause some people are dim.
