A woman who claims to be a confirmed psychopath described some common feelings that she doesn’t experience.
She has previously discussed some of her childhood morbid obsessions and on TikTok goes by the name of @victhepath.
Her goal is to increase awareness of antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), for which she has received a diagnosis. To that end, she has produced numerous videos in which she presents her own interpretation of reality.
Vic said that she identifies as a psychopath despite though there is no official diagnostic for it because she feels that she possesses “much more traits of a psychopath than I do of a sociopath.”
In one of her most well-known videos, she explored a few feelings that most of us would find difficult to relate to.
She began by emphasizing that she experienced a wide range of emotions, even if they were “muted,” before talking about the emotions she didn’t.
“When I think about these emotions, I feel like my brain is going through a blender, like I can’t conceptualise it,” she said.
“It’s like telling you to think of a colour that doesn’t exist, it’s impossible because you’ve never experienced that color, so you don’t know how to reference it.”
“Some emotions that I don’t feel at all are emotional empathy, love, regret and anxiety.”
She went on to say that because she had never experienced empathy, she had “a complete misconception of what empathy is.”
The TikToker went on to say that she had no feelings of love for anyone, including her family, friends, and boyfriends, adding that she simply didn’t comprehend the concept of love because it was so strange to her.
There existed an emotion called regret. “I just don’t feel it,” she said, adding that she understood better now that she could understand someone else’s point of view when they spoke regrets.
She felt that dovetailed with a lack of anxiety, saying: “I feel like regret and anxiety happen together, and anxiety again; it doesn’t make sense to me when people talk about it.”
“I think I can understand what people mean when they say, ‘Oh, my thoughts are working against me’ or ‘I’m scared to do this thing’, but I’ve never actually experienced that.”
“So I’m not really sure if my concept of it is correct or not.”
Naturally, this video piqued the interest of many of her fans, who wondered why she would look for a romantic partner if she wasn’t in love.
She said in another video that she didn’t understand the issue since she felt it was “obvious you can still enjoy something without being in love with it.”
She claimed that relationships between most people “begin with two people enjoying each other, then it grows into love,” and that a relationship would function “exactly the same” if you “just take the last step of falling in love with each other out of the equation.”
