Lack of empathy

    Ok, some background. Guy, mid 20s, go to college.

    I want some thoughts on an issue on my mind. I have always been a guy who seriously lacks empathy. I have had very few relationships with women but have been to around 30 prostitutes for sex. I have had some relationships with women but I basically couldn't stand them to be honest. I also hate kissing a girl or cuddling or anything like that, unless it is leading to sex. I doubt I will be able to have a long term girlfriend in my life, I just cannot stand how women go on, too emotional and high energy for me. I have no problem going to prostitutes at all.

    This is an issue I have always had as far as women are concerned.

    I also have a lack of empathy with people in general. I have some good friends but no really close ones. I like to be alone and keep to myself.

    I also have dark thoughts though. as a child I tortured and killed some animals and I was walking though the phoenix park at night last week and saw a dead deer on the side of the road. My instinct was to cut the deer up for some reason but I walked on for fear of being seen. I think about killing people too, although there is no way I would do it, it's more a fantasy but I know these thoughts are not "normal" in the conventional sense.

    I think this is just the way I am, I seriously lack empathy and just cannot connect with people. Women will always annoy me with their carry on and general behaviour but of course, I do need sex every so often.

    I guess I am looking for some opinions on my position in life. I enjoy college and have a great career ahead of me so I'm happy about that. It's just connecting with people that I have no desire to do.

    I hope that you are a troll because your post disturbed me. If you're not trolling then you should talk to somebody in your college counselling service. Fantasising about cutting animals up and killing people isn't normal. You need help OP.

    I think counseling is definitely warranted if your feelings(and past actions) are as you describe. You owe it to yourself to get help.

    I dont think anyone here is in a position to judge or advise more than that route. Thread closed.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
