  1. Having empathy is weakness.

  2.  @autisticmonkeyboi6820  I understand your point of view, but I am diagnosed ASPD and that is how I think of empathy. My mom is "normal" and I always see her stressing over the smallest stuff and caring about everything, it's too much stress so why even bother?

  3. I don't need empathy, no one does.  @Gigusx

  4.  @JamesRelok  I don't, I'm 22 years old and I feel happier and more superior than ever. I live a healthy lifestyle, I'm handsome, and intelligent. I'm literally better than everyone that I meet and see, and everyone that I come across online. Especially better than you who is assuming things about people online.

  5.  @XKS99  Yeah, but empathy is also more than just analysis, it's feeling, understanding, and action. You're correct that psychopaths can have high empathy, but the type you're referring to is cognitive empathy, they don't feel true empathy towards people. Cognitive empathy means knowing how others are feeling and seeing it through their eyes.

  6.  @XKS99  I believe only cognitive empathy is good for negotiations, if you don't have empathy it'll be much easier to not get emotional in an argument/negotiation. Therefore you will stay calm and will likely win while the normie you argue with cries and rages.

  7.  @LarsRyeJeppesen  Yes it is, empathy is literally emotions, that's what I said. Maybe get glasses.

  8. Well, I guess everyone has their own perception of things.  @XKS99

  9.  @laurac.405  Yes I know, and I'm glad most of the world lacks empathy. Empathy hinders your ability to work and also conquer and destroy. Empathy gets you all worked up in your own emotions while the successful people keep pushing on.

  10. Yeah, it may work for the old world leaders because times were tough back then and we all know tough times create tough men, or women, I don't discriminate. Point is, people back then had different moral and ethical standards, they can vary across cultures and time periods. I'm just saying, with the way the world is right now, empathy isn't advantageous to have because it's gonna enable a lot of the weak-minded mentality you see nowadays and let you be comfortable. Truly, no one cares about you so why would you care about them?  @laurac.405

  11.  @jaredclark8335  What are you talking about?

  12. Yes, I do, and I recognize I am different to most people. I'm not denying that empathy is good, you're misunderstanding me like everyone else in this comment section. Stalin nor Hitler would never have benefited from empathy, and they obviously had little to none. That is not true, everyone misunderstands people with ASPD, sure the parenting would probably be abusive, but not everyone who has ASPD is the same or functions the same. Ever heard of low functioning and high functioning psychopathy/sociopathy? For example, I have little to no fear, and I have extreme confidence, for as long as I can remember I never cared about others. This can sometimes cause me to drive recklessly, and I worry my mother often because I'm just a mess and can be risky in a lot of situations. I agree some emotions are valueable, but it's not my fault, I'm not a monster.  @autisticmonkeyboi6820

  13. I never said I was, and don't care if I am. I'm better than you.  @nikoscott145

  14.  @卂乃丂丂-l8r  Finally someone that gets it. Yeah you're right, having kids isn't at the top of my list but if I did I'd want them to be the best of the best. Academically, physically, mentally, all aspects and metrics of life.
