So someone, but I won't say who, told me on discord that I am incapable of feeling guilt, shame and empathy, and thus told me that I am sociopath.
Well, for guilt, I knew. I am incapable of feeling any guilt. I don't know why. I just don't feel it. I never felt guilt in my whole life. I don't even know how that feels like, because my brain is programmed to assign blame to anything but me.
Now, shame, I can grant too. I don't think I feel much shame. Maybe I did as a kid, but now it's almost zero shame feeling. Literally no shame.
But empathy I can't really grant. Mainly because a lot of things I do are specifically for benefit of others. I don't drive a car for sole reason of not wanting to harm nature, and cars do harm nature. I also donate to charity, which has not much personal benefit to it. I also oppose or support a lot of things which are of no personal benefit to me to oppose or support, such as laws on corporal punishment, circumcision, pollution, speeding...ect.
So do I have empathy? I don't know. Maybe what I feel isn't empathy? But still, why does it cause me emotional pain if it's not empathy?
So I can grant that I can't feel guilt or shame, but I am pretty sure I am feeling empathy. Sometimes even too much empathy so I gotta drink and smoke to stop the feelings.
I also have a lot of empathy towards myself, a quality many people lack.
