    I don’t think that’s WHY it’s stigmatised. It had to be stigmatized before that to be applied to selfish people.

    It’s a disorder that is harmful to others and difficult to understand. For others to cope with it requires navigating a complex network of negative behaviors. Manipulation and lack of empathy are the traits of a psychopath, and none of us want that.

    The OP lacks empathy but evidentally desires it from others. If you understand why you need empathy, then you understand why lack of empathy is stigmatised.





  • My coworker has that kind of sense of humor where he always says the obvious joke you’re hoping nobody will make. Then he laughs, and for some reason, everyone else does.

    Also, whenever he helps someone and they thank him, he says, “That will be 10 dollars,” and then laughs about his joke.

    The reason i hate it is this: He’s a lazy, quiet-quitting asshole who everyone likes. I, on the other hand, work my butt off. I appreciate a witty, clever sense of humor. However, I’m socially awkward, so nobody likes me!
