the more self aware you are , the more you can realize what you are doing in the moment and the more control you have over it

What if I realize it but I'm still doing it because I think I still have hope?

Elaborate

Dating a crazy girl gave me legitimate disassociation and weird sociopathic thoughts

liveleak vids probably

Patrick Bateman does not have self control

there isnt much to elaborate, you have to be self aware to overcome your own emotions and to realize what you rae doing in the moment

its an ability that is godlike in a sense, because its required to overcome yourself (and what makes you biologically human) and your "reality" , in most ancient greek stories, the characters werent self aware at all, so the gods would intervene and change their course of actions for them (to the better or worse) against thier "nature"
same with other cultures, being self aware is usually seen as something that only wise men have

self awareness is not self control , but to truly control yourself and your emotions you need to be self aware


psychopaths don't really need to control their emotions, they simply don't have them in the first place

This watch gore and die inside
I recommend kaotic user uploads though less bullshit

So I lash out and destroy possible relationships with other humans because of my mistrust based on my parents arguing all the time in front of me and getting diddled as a child. I'm very aware of this but why do I still feel bad? I guess it's not a win win like other maladjusted outliers

I've been watching shit like Rotten.com when I was 9 and still feel guilt and a sense of morality for most of the time. This doesn't work.

no matter what i tell you or anybody else tells you, only you yourself can be fully aware of yourself

so in a way this question is retarded, because people can't "unlock" you with some smart tips but its something only you can do yourself

If you think Patrick Bateman is emotionally in control, you didn't understand the movie at all.

Nobody can give you self awareness, it's quite self evident in it's name, it's something that only oneself can come by. It seems in this case you are just looking for somebody to understand and confirm previous "trauma" as a way to move past it. In that case seek counsel in a friend or professional.

If you were self aware you wouldn't really need to ask this question of anyone because you'd have recognized it yourself.

checked and I'm afraid I might lose my mind if I really become self aware. I have suspicion I was molested by mother and or father

I'm not asking for self-awareness, I never was. It seems like you're just trying arm chair psycho analyze someone

Possibly checking these dubs

Reminder that empathy is comprehension, and is unrelated to whether you feel sympathetic for what you're capable of understanding.

Autism and liveleak. Autism is a god tier mental disorder. It allows you abandon empathy and be in control of your emotions while still remaining in touch with your humanity.

There is no one version of spectrum disorders. It's not all the same.

what are some things i can do to laugh easier at things?

>more emotionally in control and less empathetic
What makes you think those two things are mutually exclusive, OP? Or is English not your primary language and you don't really mean to use those two words in this way?

Spend time in a relationship with a borderline
After a while she'll kill any semblance of empathy in you

The two aren't mutually exclusive.

Cutting and nofap help a lot with emotional control. Basically anything that requires delayed gratification is good.

No sure why you'd wanna become less empathetic though. It's literally a downgrade of a normal functioning brain. I guess lots of alcohol and drugs will help with that.

There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.

Thanks for the milk, Mark.

Meditation

Get PTSD somehow.

A few years ago I had some health issues and got pretty depressed, even tried to kms. In the process I lost all my friends who I had since I was in first grade. I think I kind of snapped because I haven’t been able to feel empathetic emotions like I used to, and I find it almost impossible to care about almost anybody except myself

The only real negative is that I want to someday have a wife and big family but I don’t know if I would be emotionally capable of it anymore

There is nothing wrong with being empathetic, but its not an emotional resource you should just throw around. Read more(for perspective) and try to be more self aware are probably 2 of the best things you can do.

I meant high functioning autism, you idiot. You can't even blend in with normal people if you have low functioning autism because you're too busy shitting yourself and punching holes in the wall.

What you mean and what you say are two different things.
