Not sure if I'm a psychopath. From my knowledge, it's mainly individuals that have a different neurochemistry from "normal" people.
I understand empathy, like experiencing different people's emotions and the meaning behind them. Cognitive empathy = bigger picture and knowledge of how they're feeling vs Affective empathy = emotional display. I also know that empathy isn't necessarily beneficial. It can be used against another person. Hence, "emotional scammer". Being conned against your own will. I understood the game due to being around women at a young age.
Reason I came wit this thought cause I charmed people in my past. Seduced a lot of women with flattery. Made people feel good about themselves. It was just natural to me. Some people thought I was just using a "façade" to manipulate people. I was just doing me.
Coolness under pressure. Not emotionally reacting under pressure is a cheat code to dealing with life's hassles. The public thought I was "mentally off" because I didn't necessarily give them a emotional reaction to benefit from. Feels like you're in a matrix when you're just indifferent to bullshyt. I used to study a lot of psychology and neuroscience in college. This knowledge possibly played a role how I dealt with the world. shyt test after shyt you just get used to it.
Fearless. Fear is a curb in a person's potential. Fear = False Evidence Appearing Real. Fear is beneficial when you're dealing with real life situations like being robbed at gun point/knife, dealing with wild animals and avoiding turbulent weather. However, being fearless and going out your comfort transforms you into a badass. Life is about tasking risk. My near death situations just took the fear out of me.
Being different from the bunch makes others curious some even get intimidated. My enemies gave me respect because I didn't fear them. I just seen them as another person.
The only thing that differs me is I'm not really a violent person. Sure when I have to protect myself and my love ones I will. Other than that I'm mostly cool as a cucumber. Funny how being a emotionally cool person makes you "strange" in such an insecure society. Maybe this society is weird and I'm the normal one lol.
And that's my Ted Talk
