Is something wrong with me?

[RREEEEEEEEE]

I don't think so, I think it is a natural process; more on this later. I was on the more edgy parts of the internet a few nights ago and I stumbled upon short videos of kids being abused; like, toddlers having the heck beat out of them, babies being tossed around and being choked. Now, any normal person would feel outrage or simply look away, but I? I didn't. It was like I was looking at plants being watered. I wasn't feeling any sort of emotion. This is both good and bad in its own right. Bad, because I don't react like a normal person would. Good, because I don't derive any pleasure from it, either. This means I am absolutely not a sociopath or anything like that. I don't think I am alone in this, I believe that due to years of loneliness, a lack of romance, I have stopped being able to connect to human beings and this very connection is the same connection that makes normal people feel outrage whenever injustices happen. I think most of the people on here can relate to that.

You just go desentised to it, at the end of the day its just pixels in a screen. 100% diffrent to it happenining irl

You get used to looking at gore and stuff.

 

[Cowcel]

No, I'm the same way too.Our reaction would be different if that happened irl.

Your just desensittized to it. I've seen cartel execution videos of people getting shot, didn't bother me any. Be way different to see in real life.

No, it just means you're not a sadist. Feeling nothing about it is exactly how a sociopath would react.

I would have reacted differently. But that's probably cuz it would have reminded me of my childhood

Ives seen lots of beheadings a disembowelings but damn that McNutt suicide was something else

But there's also the fact that seeing shit online is vastly different than seeing it in real life. It's easy to look at messed up shit within the comfortable confinement of your room.

Me too. Child abuse just makes me feel bad for some reason.

Not exactly the same thing, but some summer nights ago, I happened to be the second person at the crime scene of a hit-and-run involving a 19 year old dude; with the first person being my friend who saw everything: from the dude crossing the street to him getting hit, whereas I only saw the dude laying on the pavement with his head bleeding, eyes repeatedly blinking and his legs twitching. He ended up dying in the hospital a week later after he was put in a coma.

I feel bad for his parents, but my friend ended up testifying against the driver whom had fled the scene and turned himself in a few days later. I didn't testify, because I didn't see everything and I didn't want to say things that weren't true that could have lead to the driver being acquitted of his crimes.

By the way, my friend was really traumatized by what he saw, so when we were being interrogated inside of the cop van, my friend asks the cop "Is it normal that I'm feeling this way?" To which the cop responded "I'd be more worried if you didn't" and then he glanced at me. I thought to myself "Shit, is he seeing through me?" And to throw the cop's suspicions off, I then shook my head in agreement and patted my friend on the shoulder.

Damn that sounds like brutal stuff ngl, I dont think your psychopathic tho

I can relate. I simply wouldn't care if I saw something like that happen. I was watching videos on best gore and I didn’t even feel anything when I watched them.

You're a psychopath. But likely high IQ too since you can reflect on it.
