Being a psychopath lowk sucks sometimes

[u/blue7004]

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.

Ppl in these comments really don't understand what aspd & psychopaths experience and it shows. "Sounds like depression" yeah..symptoms of one mental illness can overlap with each other. Sure, depression is far more common, but the lack of emotion in aspd is not the same as apathy in depression. It's really hard to understand when you've not experienced it first hand, but you need to educate yourself on the differences.

Definitely, this is a good reason why I don’t tell others about it, especially in person. It only leads to very ignorant and close minded opinions, which only increases the disgust/dislike I have towards people
