No empathy for humans, only animals

0% Normal

I just don't think humans are deserving of any empathy and I can't feel it, I can watch videos of human babies being raped and people being murdered with no problem and forget about it as soon as I close the video but I can't watch animals get tortured or killed, specially cats (kittens make it worse for me) and dogs, I get really upset when I see one of those videos so that technically does not make me a psychopath, a psychopath would not feel anything for any living thing, is this normal?

    Maybe you're a selective psychopath: after all, Hitler was kind to dogs

      I don't think that's the correct term, I have done some little research and it turns out psychopaths must be equal for them to be considered psychopaths, I'm not one.

        I do not understand what equality has to do with anything in this discussion

          They either can't feel empathy for anything (psychopaths) or do feel empathy for something (not psychopaths). That's what I mean by equality, equal apathy for all living beings.

            Hmmm ...... I've never heard that, in fact I thought it was not uncommon for psychopaths to have no empathy for other humans while having it for animals

              I'm not completely sure but you may have been thinking of a sociopath, psychopaths lack the emotional components of the brain since birth, sociopaths are made antisocial by society.

    Do you at least care about your family, friends, or other people you associate with?

      I do admit that I need them and would not want them to go away, but I don't feel emotionally connected with them.

      I was bullied all my life until I entered high school, if that means something.

        It means much. You accumulated hatred for humans in response to the pain you've been receiving. I'm guessing you don't have real friends or someone who really understands you, but once someone like that exists in your life you'll feel empathy for them. How old are you?

        I think it means something. I've had my fair share of getting picked on and it was especially bad in late elementary, 7th grade and freshman year of high school. Not to say it way easy at other times, but what really helped me was when I was a junior in high school I started studying martial arts. I had more confidence to stand up for myself or even felt more secure when turning the other cheek once I knew I could defend myself if necessary.

        I can't say that I entirely hate other people, but animals, especially dogs and cats, have been a great comfort for me in my life. When I was in college I got kicked out of the dorms for having a little white mouse. The good news is that my mom got me an apartment, but what the Hell kind of shitty person snitches on another depressed student just for having a sweet, little pocket pet? Once I got my apartment I got my first professional entry level job in my field as well as a second mouse, a rat and eventually I rescued a kitten after a car accident.

        I don't blame you for how you feel, people can be jerks especially people who aren't animal lovers.
