@JesusGodHolySpirit3 brains can change. She sustained an injury that resulted in her being able to process information differently afterwards, and apparently in a more desired way.

@JesusGodHolySpirit3 ok. I don't know how to explain it any differently. Basically she had a physical accident which resulted in a severe head concussion and when she recoverd she says she felt and thought differently and registered more feelings than before. So her brain was somehow affected from the accident, perhaps in a good way. Hope that makes some sense!

@stigludwigsen well I'd like to read it. Try to find the triggering word and type it in a different manner or use an asterisk to replace some letters. It's probably just one triggering word that is getting the whole post censored.

@UndertaIe94848 well, unless it gets worse, it may just be part of your normal development. Feelings and thinking change continuously through one's teens and 20s. They say the brain continues developing until around age 25. And of course we continue learning and growing throughout our lives. Not everyone feels a lot in the course of a typical day. Perhaps this is normal for you for now. But if you think something isn't right, don't be afraid to ask someone for help. You never know. They might help you with an issue you didn't know you had.

Wow. That is really interesting. Thank you for sharing.

@stigludwigsen hmm. Interesting theory. Could you try to elaborate? Maybe sentient isn't the right word. It is true that in colloquial terms, some people do some very evil things. I'm not sure I would call them non-sentient tho. In simple terms, I think of sentience as self-awareness. I would think either violent or non-violent APD-ers have self-awareness.

@lisanidog8178 that's not very nice. Why the attitude?
6
@UndertaIe94848 maybe you just have ptsd or depression. If you've been through trauma it's a good chance.
6
@UndertaIe94848 well, I don't know how old you are, but not being able to feel any enjoyment usually isn't good. You may want to talk to a professional if you can. This may be a symptom of a deeper issue. There's no shame in seeking help, in fact it's one of the healthiest things you can do for yourself. I'm not saying or implying there's anything wrong, bec I don't know anything about you, but I do think it's normal to be able to feel at least something pleasant or positive in your daily life. If you feel little to nothing, or only unpleasant emotions, there might be something else responsible.

@jacknackly5321 do you understand that her son was murdered? Can you understand that that's the worst pain a parent can undergo? Could you please try to understand that next time. disorder or not how do you expect a grieving parent to talk about the one who took the life of her son? We all know most people with APD don't kill anyone. Unfortunately in this tragic instance, they did. If you would suffered her loss trust me friend you would have said the exact same things that she did.

@stigludwigsen I saw two comments by you. Was there a third?
4
@nancyajlouny981 wow what a heartbreaking story. That sounds so difficult and painful. Can't they get her help? Clearly she was made this way by being trafficked. It's horrific to think what she must have endured. Those who trafficked her should be killed, slowly. Are they at least in prison??
3
@stigludwigsen very interesting. I'm going to think about that and get back to you if I have anything to add.
3
@stigludwigsen I think I might have deleted and reworded those haha. you have some interesting theories. It's food for thought. I'm still not sure sentience is the right word, and we can't get sure what was on the mind of any particular Higher Power at the time of creation or anytime since. But I'm open to considering every possibility when it comes to understanding different things.

Not trying to put anyone on the spot but I think a good non-scientific test to see roughly where you might fall on the psychological scale- how did you feel at 19:00+ when you saw the image of a hurt child? So for me, I felt an instant tightening of the chest, rage at who could have done this, a desire to make them pay in the same way, an instant disgust at having to see something innocent hurt, my heart rate went up, a feeling of shock and rage at seeing the results of extreme child abuse, and than having to remind myself it could have been from an accident and not even intentional abuse. All that happened really before I was consciously aware of it. All of this was 100% outside of my conscious control. The moment I became aware I had to remind myself it's not even real so I could "calm down". I'm pretty sure my eyes even started to water, although I can't be certain. I've even rewatched it to see if I get the same reactions again. They're a little dulled, but more or less still there. It's very interesting. Every time I see it I feel rage and I'm sickened and I KNOW ITS FAKE! I'm not special I just feel a lot for others. I always have. I can't turn it off. I'm glad I'm this way but it doesn't always make life easy. Would be interesting to know the range of reactions others might have had in those same moments.

@bafumat lol bruh mind games are for teens in relationships. But yeah I'm just curious. Not everyone's an emotional person, that's not a bad thing as long as someone strives to generally be fair and not exploit anyone. I could stand to be less emotional, would probably help me out in some ways. I certainly think it would make some things easier. You said you're an engineer, so you went to college? If so where? Do you have a degree? Did you enjoy the experience?
2
@bafumat ok. I was just curious. I'd hardly know who anyone is just by saying what school or region they went to. So for me, not that it matters, but I live in CA, southern region. I used to go to SDSU but never finished. Long story. Uh- not to be that person but please ✋- it's hamster. Pandas are flippin epic and are amazing in the snow- but I have to stay true to my palm potato roots. I mean it's hard enough for a rodent to get a fair shake in this world knowwhatimean?? #supportteamham #rodentsRrad

I can't imagine the pain of your loss. I'm so deeply sorry evil touched your life. May god be with you and help you. I'm sure you know you'll see him again. I believe you will.
2
@NurseSnow2U wow you've been through so much. I wonder how people can make it and come out in one piece after all that. So psychopathy and evil touched your life too huh??? I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm also deeply sorry you lost someone to COVID. I'm grateful I did not. I'm so sorry you lost your fiance. I can't even imagine that kind of loss. Just seems so unfair after everything else. What is the name of your podcast? I'd like to look into it.

@HeyHax 🙄

That all sounds very wise!

@janearcher3834 Not illegal literally, but it's clear she feels intruded on more and more by the State. She and I may not share the exact same political affiliations, but I can readily understand families feeling that way. I may not always agree with all their reasons, but I can certainly agree with some of them.

@Pfor_Podi so don't?

@Pfor_Podi stop. You're not helping.

@neglectfulsausage7689 again, do shut up. If you can't say anything helpful don't say anything at all.

@thereignofthezero225 enjoying trolling???
1
@thereignofthezero225 clearly you're enjoying being "cool" and edgy
1
@bafumat interesting. Do you feel nothing at all?? Pleasure, anger, happiness, regret, worry, curiosity? Do you like to achieve goals??? Do you appreciate nature? Animals??? Music? None of that? Do you have friends? Have you ever wanted them? I think I get where you're coming from. It's different than me, no doubt. As long as you're not intentionally causing harm to another, or planning to do so, I see no problem interacting with or studying so-called "sociopaths" or what have you. What about your family you grew up with, if it's ok to ask? We're they loving, or abusive? If they were good, did you feel anything for them? Have you ever wanted to have a pet? Do you enjoy books or TV or movies? Pretty banal questions, I admit. I'm afraid I'm just curious
1
Other than admitting you like to spin people up, which taken to an extreme can be very wrong, but to a lesser extent we all probably do at some point or another, just being the flawed human beings we are - you don't sound all that different than the Vulcan characters in the fictional Star Trek universe. Would you agree with that or no?
1
@bafumat ok. That's interesting tho. And you're right, most of them supposedly do feel emotions but try to sublimate them, more or less. Appreciate your info.
1
@bafumat LMFAO the happy asking panda buddy I get you aren't trying to be funny but that has me falling out. 😂😭 I guess I am lmfao. Maybe I'm a happy asking hamster idk. Ok back to your information-
1
@bafumat hmm. Interesting. Ok but- does anything major you "happy"? But you don't feel "love" is that right?? What about friends? Did you mistreat your ex-wife? Did you part on bad terms? Do you want children? I'm not here to judge, so long as you aren't actively harming or planning to harm anyone I really don't care. You have the right to live however you want so long as you aren't harming anyone. And I would say the same goes for anyone.
1
@bafumat I'm sorry to hear your ex had those problems. That doesn't sound very easy to live with. I can't imagine she felt too happy either. Perhaps she had depression or bad ADHD??? Or undiagnosed childhood trauma. Usually when people can't get much done it's one or the other. You probably did the best you could given what you knew how to do. I hope she is doing better now.
1
@bafumat can you elaborate how you feel the uploader's evaluations were incomplete? Do you live in the US? Do you have siblings? If so do you feel close to them? You don't sound so bad, unless you're putting me on. Pardon me for asking trite questions, just a curious person. Do you have an overall goal in life? Do you have religious beliefs? Do you feel life is worth living? Do you have political views? Do you feel bad for someone when you see something unfortunate, like a homeless person or when you hear of terrible things like animal abuse, or do you not have an emotional reaction? Do you enjoy children or do they get on your nerves? Do you get on or visit with your family or relatives? And you believe you are someone with an APD correct?
1
@bafumat oh I did but sure. I thought I didn't ask anything new or that you already mentioned. Sorry if I did.
1
@bafumat oh you mean this whole thread? No I haven't done that yet. I'm coming and going from the phone. I understand if answering random questions is annoying, and not trying to treat you like a Martian, but as I said, I'm just curious. I'll move on if you'd rather leave it alone.
1
@bafumat true.... People should use protection, no excuse if you're an adult. I'd have to agree with that. So you didn't enjoy your time while you were there? Where did you attend? You didn't find any of it challenging? What did you get your degree in? Are you glad you went?
1
@bafumat lol. You just haven't seen all our awesome talents yet. We are the deceptively awesome pet. For instance, extreme food loading. For proof, please reference recent video "hamster puts baby carrots in mouth". It's true the title gives it away- but the feat, ahem, OUR feat is just as impressive. Also weed is fully based.
1
@bafumat SEE? NOW YOU'RE THINKIN. That's using the ol' cabeza. Big galaxy brain moment. You see it's perfect because we come in a variety of hyper-convenient travel sizes. We are the perfect gift. We are applicable to a wide variety of life events! You'll never go wrong with a Ham2000 by your side! Just listen to the billions of satisfied customers on YahuuHam!
1
@bafumat lol. Doggos are friends not food tho. You wouldn't eat your friend would you? Under normal circumstances that is? Lol ..... But it's true- puppers are a little more useful than hams. But I mean- we're still portable. That's gotta be a selling point. Yeah?? And no one can argue we aren't /extremely/ adorable. Sure we may not be good for a ton of things- like pulling sleds- but if you EVER need a cute furry face the size of coin with an extraordinary carrying-capacity given the size, we're your pal.
1
@bafumat going to need a few more details on that chief if you want me to respond. If not have a nice night.
1
@bafumat but we ALL need cute pocket friends for the coming apocalypse. It's in the rules. (Also hams are probably tasty. Idk I've never tried to eat one of my own but I mean, we're probably good for a tasty snack. I mean just look at us- we're floofs. Must be some good fat in there.)
1
I'm so sorry you had to live through that. I hope you reconnect with your children! Please don't let him win. Do whatevers necessary to get them back. Don't let him take them from you! I wish you all the power and luck in the world! You deserve it! Be strong, get a lawyer if you have to! Love and strength!

@neglectfulsausage7689 I mean did you have to? I hope you're not actually anti-lgbt.

This is a very interesting ethical debate. I guess for me, it would come down to whether the person with these so-called conditions has harmed anyone and if so how much? If a person has been convicted of a serious violent crime and there is a treatment that we can use to make them better able to control these impulses, feel more respect for others, and to become more empathetic, would it not be irresponsible not to use it? I think I agree with the person up top where in these cases it should be presented as a choice. So we're still respecting the person's right to choose but we're also taking current and potential future victims rights' in consideration. So yes I think should be a choice between incarceration as both a punishment and future prevention, or institutionalizing while sending them through a particular treatment for a particular period of time to see if they can be trusted not to reoffend in the same violent manner upon completion of said treatment. I guess so long as a so-called socio- or psychopath is not out there actively harming anyone it wouldn't be right to take them by force and force them to undergo an invasive psychological process. However, once they cross over that line towards committing that violent crime, at that point then the matter has changed. It should either be up to a judge or jury to be give them a choice between treatment and just being incarcerated. I think that's as fair as possible under these circumstances. Basically, if a person has shown that they constitute a grave enough public threat that at the moment they need to be detained somewhere for public safety, then even though they may be undergoing a punishment, they should be given all opportunities to be rehabilitated. So based on current scientific and psychiatric knowledge we can try to rehabilitate a person and then of course we have to come up with ways to try to judge if these rehabilitative strategies have made a difference. This sort of dovetails into the bigger debate about the purpose of a Justice system. It's easy to just lock people up and forget about them. Weather person is a so-called sociopath or not, everyone should be given the opportunity to undergo and seek rehabilitation if they so choose. If they refuse then I guess that is their choice as well. Then they can simply remain incarcerated while serving other time. But any kind of incarceration without comprehensive rehabilitation programs and therapies automatically fails both the inmate, the victim, and society 100%, IMO.

@alycinannette8388 oh my god. Satan is real, sadly. It seems the only explanation. If it's ok for me to ask, were these monsters ever caught???

I'm sure you did the best you could. Don't blame yourself. Healing is always possible for those who want it. Don't be afraid to seek help! I believe progress is always possible!

@somethingw1ck3d337 hmm. Interesting.
