Is it normal i was psychopathic as a child?

I used to throw grasshoppers into barn-spiders' webs so that I could watch them attack and spin them up with their web. Fascinating process!

All of those things you did aren't abnormal in my opinion.

You're regret shows that you aren't a psychopath. You've nothing to worry about.

If you'd said that you enjoyed torturing the animals, that would have been another story....

Those things are part of a typical childhood. My brother used to shoot squirrels and birds with a BB gun and he grew up to be completely normal. I used to perform "surgeries" on earthworms and while I'm not exactly a normal person, I'm not a psychopath.

"Looking back on this behavior, and comparing it to myself in the present state, I feel shameful of all the havoc I caused other life forms. These creatures were just doing their own thing, and I viciously put a stop to their precious rhythm of existence"

I am not a psychopath, I was professionally diagnosed as being within the "anti-social" spectrum, so I'm similar to one in many ways. A psychopath would never look back on his behaviour, they never change, they never care or feel bad for anything/anyone but themselves. Even I have no remorse for what I've done, you're just a big nancy boy.

Oh and you can't be diagnosed as psychopathic unless you're over 18, because it doesn't fully manifest until adulthood. I was in my early twenties.

I'm cuckoo.

As a child I killed ants, wasps, birds, and threw stones at quite a few barking dogs. Like you, I regret what I did and would not let my children commit those cruel acts. But I think we are normal. Our heightened sense of remorse comes from our newly found value for life in its many forms.

I did that, but I did to bigger animals like my cousin's pet rabbits, guinea pigs, cats and dogs.
It was delicious. I would torture them, tie them up, drown, and others.
I really wish these delicious and precious times would come back, today I have to buy these animals in order to do these things and it can be really expensive.

No it sounds as if you were simply curious. What most people don't understand is that being a psychopath means that the person is unable to process emotion. The only reason that most associate this with "evil" as you put it, is because serial killers and others who commit similar crimes are able to commit these crimes because they cannot process the emotion of guilt. There are also psychopaths that never do any harm to anyone, they are just able to do so without a pestering conscience By the way psychopathy is actually extremely rare. Also I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure that had you been a psychopath as a child it would not have just gone away. I don't think that it is usually something that can be gotten rid of.

I think the important thing here is the fact that you learned what you were doing was harmful, and you are now a more compassionate person.

I believe that's a big part of why we are here: to learn how to choose and to choose how to learn.

I think, as children, we are far less responsible and understanding of what we are doing.

For example, I used to try stab my brother with a knife, abused my little brother, stole, broke property, killed many bugs, and I think I killed a bird or two, I can't recall.

I wouldn't call that psychopathic, just bad behavior.

I have done far worse things since then in my older years that I will not go in to detail about, but still, not psychopathic.

We're just children of bad behaviors.
