I've looked into psychopathy cuz I was wondering why I had little empathy. Turns out I'm just an asshole

@Reaper Interesting. I think that's something that my friend values highly though. She understands its values. But she tells me that she's always been called servile by friends. I don't know genders she didn't tell me.

Still treat people with respect, help them out, and I like to be honest and straightforward. The thing is I just don't remember what it's like to have emotional connections with people

or what empathy it is

you remeber you use to ?

Yea, like having best friends i grew up with

bonding with them and doing fun shit

now i don't hang out with anybody

@GingerSnaps she sounds like a good egg, it's good to have a female perspective to bounce the ideas off of I have a friend like that too it's amazing how she can be more rational than a blue pilled man

then you might just be turning a llittle sociopath because of your experience, dont ignore your feelings, just dont let them control you

Maybe becoming a sociopath...i heard you can develop sociopathy

yeah, sociopoathy is something you learn

phychopaths are usually born like that

psycopath are born this way

yea

@Sigma that may be a product of your circumstances, seeing reality for what it is can be isolating

@Reaper Yeah i've been meaning to sit her down and rap with her about shit but she lives far away and i only talk to her on facebook. Maybe i'll try calling her later on. SHe invited me to do so, so we'll see what happens.

But, if you develop sociopathic tendencies, can they be fixed, or is that permanent?

Maybe that too

Reality hit me hard

nah they can, you need posityive experience

and the good feedback comeing with it

@GingerSnaps I say it's a good idea

@Sigma for what it's worth, at least with males you tend to grow out of it by your 40's

@Sigma at least if you try to anyway.

Yeah, People have called me a sociopath but I know it was learned. I can still empathize with a few people but when a large part of society is stupid people how am I supposed to feel sorry for that?

try to see how they came to be wrong

@EmptyEagle right? The fact Is we live in the information age besides ppl with disabilities almost 100% of ignorance comes down to choices now

@Reaper that's why I started telling people to google it when they ask "what is that" or "what's that mean"

Like I'm smart enough to understand how and why these people think but feeling sorry for them doesn't matter as it won't help me or them.

Well if you play a stupid game you get a stupid reward if you're not smart enough to look up the information on your own thing you certainly worth anytime.

Exactly. We're all on internet machines

Never stop looking for the truth, always assume you are still wrong

That's fine, but if I'm a permanent MGTOW...it's kind of hard to relate to an average person when they don't understand the things you went through, things you know about the world, etc. Seeing reality is a challenge because it's hard hitting, which is probably why sometimes people can't handle the truth. Shit in the West has a narrative set up and a system that has you running from the truth about yourself and in the world via seemingly infinite distractions. Work, pay taxes, operate as a cog in the wheel, and stay entertained. Don't think too much, or you'll find out some hard realities

@Reaper Yeah, it's funny we created a device to learn so much more but then sit in our bubbles of people that think the same as us.

yea

@ToastMcGhost seriously, everyone has a phone and they use their data to watch dumbass music videos and shit when they could litterally have read huge chunks of the world's knowledge with the same bandwidth

@EmptyEagle that's deep bro

Jules César knew it already : "Bread and Games"

The internet has me looking at the same style content. keeping me in bubbles of the same perspectives

@Reaper without ever having removed an engine from a car, I can tell you how it works and explain how it looks on the inside. But others choose to watch beauty youtubers
