I feel numb to other people's suffering in Psychology & Therapy ·

and why wouldn't one feel joy? What is there to lack when it comes to joy?

Fair question. Honestly, I’m chronically short on empathy myself. When a situation calls for it, I just fake it. I put on the right expression, toss out a few standard phrases, and call it a day. It actually feels better than genuinely feeling someone else's misery.

Good grief. And here I was thinking it was actually a sport, like lawn bowling or competitive fishing...

My brother spent about four-sevenths of his time in prison absolutely wrecking your brother.

Laughter is the only response here. Max Kolb. A literal saint. In the middle of a camp, facing a firing squad, he steps up and says: "Take my life instead of this young man's. My name is Max, and I am a Catholic priest!" And what does the SS commander do? He just shrugs, takes him, and coldly executes him right there in place of the kid. Honestly, if the political climate had been different back then, who knows how that would have played out...
Maybe I’d be tearing up.

Comparing neo-Nazism to littering feels like a massive stretch to me. As far as I can tell, tossing trash on the sidewalk isn't some grand ideology; you don't find people out there genuinely convinced that littering is the only moral way to live.
Punishing neo-Nazis using that kind of logic would just drive a wedge between the true believers and the outliers—at least from their twisted perspective. If seeing the actual victims makes you hesitate or feel a pang of guilt, then clearly you haven't fully bought into the doctrine yet.
Besides, deporting people to India—which is thousands of miles away and shares zero cultural or social DNA with the country the offender actually comes from—is a total non-starter. Even if someone manages to feel a shred of empathy for people in India, it’s definitely not going to translate into sympathy for the marginalized groups right here in our own backyard.

Try not to choke on your coffee laughing too hard at this one.

Yeah. Either way, it’s still pretty wild.

blueeagle25 said:But then again, maybe people wouldn't be so obsessed with having sex if they hadn't seen porn or all that stuff showing how much pleasure there is. Maybe a girl might feel too much pain and just decide it's not worth it—mostly because she doesn't realize how great it can actually feel afterward.😍

Ahahaha, please, do go on and describe that scene where she just gives up. That sounds absolutely thrilling to me. Or don't, it hurts my soul, ouch... something like that?

Why all the fighting? Why not just embrace the darker side of desire? There’s something raw and honest about intense, aggressive themes—it feels more authentic. I honestly don't get why people feel this constant urge to tear apart things that actually work together seamlessly.
Even Marquis de Sade understood this three centuries ago.
Has humanity really learned absolutely nothing in all this time?
Serial Killers: Q&A... in Psychology ·
wearyowl29 said:How does he feel in the moment he kills...what's crossing his mind right then...what specific impulses drive him to act that way...why pick that particular victim...was there something in his past fueling this need for revenge...who abused him...did he kill animals when he was just a kid...what was his relationship with his parents like...all that stuff.

There's actually a series about this—well, two, really. One of them is on Netflix about Richard Kuklinski, aka The Iceman, where he breaks down all those questions and then some.
The interesting thing is, he doesn't fit the typical serial killer stereotype, which makes it much more compelling to watch.
