What is an unsettling fact about you?

[ariadneR]

[strateguy632]

In Europe this would not be unsettling, i favor the medical organizations in Europe netherland and British, and Canada and australia and south africa and more, who bothered to warn parents not to cut their baby circumcision.

Obviously as a kid i did not know they cut me nor what i was missing , but later i found out, and felt violated sexualy and even rapped. even just pulling out the wrong tooth, is horrible because the tooth was a good one, but circumcision "cuts a good part from the private parts."

But this opinion in u. s. where circumcision is common, is unsettling and people "wig out. " as if European don't want health benefits? Or european men are stinky?

I have a mild form of sociopathy (antisocial personality disorder), and I'm a misanthrope.

I don't engage in manipulative behavior, crime, or anything like that, but I form almost no enotional connection to people, can't feel empathy, and have trouble feel most other emotions.

Which is honestly fine with me, anyway, because I have a very poor view of 99.9% of the population, in general, and tend to dislike nearly everyone.

I act "normal" most of the time, but it's almost entirely faked, just to fit within normal social expectations.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Since you're saying "almost no emotional connection", I'm intrigued. Is there any pattern you recognize, in people or situations, where you feel, at least, a small connection?

[Orion84]

@Maybe_Maybe_not The only thing I've noticed is with friends I made when I was very young. I do feel a sense of loyalty to them, but that's about it.

Although friendships don't always last forever, so even most of those have faded over the years. None of the friendships/acquaintances I made later in life have meant anything to me.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

All right, thanks 👍🏼

[Kingofkings1992]

You just described yourself perfectly to be me lol

[NoDecision]

Then why are you on this site, which has people on i of all things? 🤔

[Orion84]

@NoDecision Mostly boredom, tbh. I enjoy answering questions on occasion.

Unfortunately, the people aspect does eventually get to me, which is why I always end up cancelling my accounts. This is my 4th or 5th one, at this point. 🤷‍♂️

My other accounts were all eventually asked to be Mods, and the Amazon gift cards were kinda nice, too.

[MemeSupreme]

i'm like passive aggressively suicidal lol

i'll consider it for a few minutes a few times a day then it just goes away most of the time. i won't do it bc i've been down that road (sounds attention seeking ik but its not) and it fucking sucked seeing how it hurt the people around me

anyway that's something i never tell people bc its just toxic af to put onto someone

[Iron_Man]

I’m sorry to hear that. Are you gonna be OK? And are you OK now?

[MemeSupreme]

yeah i called it passive aggressive bc i won't do it lol

when i was younger it'd be on my mind a lot, but now it really does pass quickly

[Iron_Man]

If you wanna talk about it, I’ll be here for you, but I’m glad you’re doing so much better

[MemeSupreme]

thank you, but dw i have a therapist to burden it with lol

[Iron_Man]

OK, but if you change your mind, I’m here

[Iron_Man]

😊…..

[Apulu_backagain]

My coping mechanism is humour.

So I once smiled when I heard about death of this really kind neighbour uncle.

I didn't meant to.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I love this 😂

[Apulu_backagain]

@Maybe_Maybe_not my mom thinks I'm psychopath since then

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

If she was serious, then your mom is probably not knowledgeable in psychiatry lol. There's nothing special about your reaction, it's just nervosity, or dark humor, things like that. It's common !

[Apulu_backagain]

@Maybe_Maybe_not nah not serious, she was just creeped out lol. She's one religious lady so obviously.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

all right 👌🏼

I understand the mentality that leads to highschool shootings in the US. I was bullied at school and as a member of the cadets had some access to firearms. I learned to shoot and quickly became one of the best marksmen in our cadet force on several calibres of rifle including Martini action, bolt action and semi-automatic. Cadets aren't permitted to use fully automatic weapons.

I got to the skill by picturing my bullies faces on the targets.

At 15 I was suffering major depression and if I'd had unrestricted access to firearms I would probably have executed my tormentors - around 18 of the students in my year.

By 17 I had the urges under control, but maintained that control by the same method of picturing them at the target end of the range.

Almost 40 years later I'm a calmer man - on the outside. Most people who think they know me wouldn't believe I'm capable of planning something so brutal.

Still waters can be the most dangerous.

[strateguy632]

That was an awful experience for you. Luckily i only had 2 or 3 bullies each year not many insulting me or pushing me. Did they push to knock you down?

[Opinion Owner]

I was rarely physically assaulted given I never lost a fight. Mainly because I don't fight fair. They threw a punch, I kicked them in the balls. End of fight.

I was a dancer, so balancing wasn't an issue. I kept a low centre of gravity if it looked like something was going to become physical.

[EmmaMary]

@ariadneR

I simply cannot tolerate fools and idiots gladly... As it well shows here on the forum.

[Account]

I am capable of switching off my emotions.
It is possibly a defense mechanism I have subconsciously developed in order not to lose my sanity. I can very easily detach. It is not healthy, I am aware of it, but it is all I know.

[BobbieBoy666]

I enjoy spending my free time in the morning nude. The body must be allowed to breathe without clothing. And you don't need to engage in sex or masturbation plus being nude is not being dirty either. 😇

[Chazmatazz269]

I want to k*ll people almost every single time i leave the house; especially if i get on the highway. There are some really sh*tty people out there. I’m fairly certain the whole world would be better off without them.

[strateguy632]

When i was in traffic jams with slow moving cars on the highway, i would imagine i had an old fashioned cannon with a cannon ball to clear my lane open!
But even bad people don't deserve the death penalty.

[OneViewpoint]

My morality is flexible and situational. I'm comfortable living outside the normal moral constraints when it is required. That rattles a lot of people when they realize it.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

When you're reading the comments and picturing:

[andreasderjuengere]

Whatever is considered mainstream ''unsettling'' ... is actually my strength in my own perception.

I'm a: non conformist, critical, consequent, selective, smart, individualistic

relict of a century that's gone now.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I shall say that, in this list, individualism is REALLY NOT a relic from the past, it's trending, a lot lol

[andreasderjuengere]

@Maybe_Maybe_not... I doubt this: An ''Individualist'' is not some fool who does or say dumb things only to be noticed.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I know yep, what I mean by that is that many of us live in individualistic societies, praising the individual. I'm using individualism in its negative sense here, but there's also a positive one, when the collective is oppressing

[Simslover92]

If I'm not on my meds things take a turn for the worse.

[Iron_Man]

If you wanna talk about it, I’ll be here for you, but I’m glad you’re doing so much better

[Simslover92]

Thank you. I appreciate that. I've been on them since 2021 and I haven't been off of them since then.

[Iron_Man]

I’m sorry about that. I was talking to Meme but I posted it in the wrong area. But I have read your post now and if you would like to talk, we can do that too.

[Simslover92]

Oh thank you so much! If I ever need to talk you're the first person I'll turn to!

[Iron_Man]

awesome, thank you so much

[Simslover92]

You're welcome!

[just_a_potato]

I get disturbing intrusive thoughts daily and have been having them since I was a young child. I work as a nurse now. :D

[SarahP080106]

As a young teen, I would meet up with older men for sex.

I've also done illegal sexual acts

[Panthero80]

What is an illegal sex act, having sex underage?

[SarahP080106]

Maybe 🙅‍♀️

[Agape93]

I don't feel much empathy at all. It's simply not there save for like 2 things.

[MemeSupreme]

is it both types of empathy or a certain type (cognitive and emotional empathy)

[Agape93]

Mostly emotional. I can recognize something sucks or is awful, but it stirs nothing in me. Here's an analogy I use to explain it. Let's say your mom died, and you being a close friend, broke down to me about it. I understand it sucks, but it stirs the same emotional strength as if you told me you ran out of coffee creamer or got a flat tire.

[Kaneki05]

I don't know a lot of things. I sympathise with killers sometimes?

[ProbablyClueless]

I've legitimately almost died like 4 or 5 times.

[exitseven]

I was born dead. I have already seen the great beyond.

[Anonymous]

Touched a little boy when I was a child. Never told anyone and often look back wishing I hadn't.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

What is wrong, to you, in the child to child situation you describe?

[Opinion Owner]

Were his private parts. Not a good thing to be touchin. Wrong's an understatement.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Okay, was there an age gap?

[WonderingManII]

What is an unsettling fact about you? I might puke at any moment.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I know it's accidental but by repeating the question in your comment it gave it an offensive meaning lol

[WonderingManII]

@Maybe_Maybe_not In your opinion.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Well, maybe just mine, but look what it gives, it looks like you're saying that you will puke at the asker because you find her unsettling, I'm just laughing at that lol

[WonderingManII]

@Maybe_Maybe_not you are nitpicking. I doubt anyone else feels the same as you.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Not even nitpicking really, it's just that I intuitively click on these things with words and language, since... A looong time. Anyway, I see this humor doesn't talk to you, so 🫡

[WonderingManII]

@Maybe_Maybe_not your wording doesn't even make any sense!

[dougeats]

My past... letting guys go down on me in the park when I was in middle school. I was very popular with the old men

[smahala1991]

I am constantly horny and if my blood sugar is high I can get irritated

[AngryCarl2]

I'm severely mentally ill, and a suicide risk.

[Jeff51]

I tell my wife Asian people can't drive. Wife is Asian.

[Iron_Man]

Oh ok

[strateguy632]

Maybe that is not as racist as singling out a race japanese or chinese just generalized.

[Jeff51]

@strateguy632 as some of you know I live in san Diego which is a multi culture city. I'm married to a filippina. She does not drive. I hang on for dear life when sis n law drives. Since I grew up here many years ago. I can honestly say Asians cannot drive. I bet if some entered Nascar it will show them how to drive.

[strateguy632]

@Jeff51 👍

[Kingofkings1992]

That’s funny, 😁 I would probably do the same thing to her lol

[RedInnocent69]

Nothing springs top of mind, but I’m sure there’s a laundry list

[Anonymous]

I've got such a bad case of self hatred that I fear one day to genuinely hurt myself.

[Bklynbadboy12]

I can cut people off very easily

[Anonymous]

My friends call me to look people up.

[Jennz6]

I’ll never tell

[wkhan_87]

Not to anyone?

[Jennz6]

@wkhan_87 nobody

[SotiCoto]

That I'm unable to settle.

[Staximus]

I'm a sleepwalker

[Theanastasia08]

I’m comfortable and proudly saying up I’m gay.

[Panthero80]

Does being hairy count?

[beefcakebradybatson]

I tried to kill someone at 12.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Under what circumstances?

[beefcakebradybatson]

@Maybe_Maybe_not In Industrial Arts (a fancy term for "Shop"), when I was an eighth-grader, I heard the "N" word directed at me and snapped. Lunging at the other lad's throat with an awl in my hand, I was restrained by two teachers (I was five feet and 93 pounds at 12) and excused from IA the rest of 1965-1966.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

It feels much better with a proper context now, thank you 🙏🏼

[wkhan_87]

Lack of patiance, when something is being worng.

[Anonymous]

I don't like myself very much.

[Opinion Owner]

To be more accurate, I don't like myself at all.

[Paige90]

I am a nudist

[eagle1951]

honests as the day is long

[andreasderjuengere]

well... each day has an end :D

[loveyouoak]

I can't say that.
