Well, It takes a lot for me to feel remorse. For example, Im very brutally honest and dont spare feelings. I've made people cry, but it doesn't phase me at all. Also, I saw a little animal in a tree ( I think it was a bird with a broken wing) alone. I just watched it every morning, waiting for something to happen to it. And the tree wasn't even high up, I could reach it, But I let the bird die, when it was dead I put it on the ground and let my cat toy with it. Lastly, my brother has stitches because when we were kids, I pushed him into a wall, I didnt really care.
Considering I am transgendered, I prefer the word 'parent' because it's gender neutral.
I'm fully aware that I will not be winning awards for parenting any time soon and I don't particularly give a shit.
I have no problem admitting that I was an abusive parent in the past, but I don't believe that I'm one anymore.
Have you ever tried acting sadistically towards someone who has done you no wrong? I'd be curious to know how that would feel for you. I'm unsure about my own sadistic tendencies, and am trying to fill in the blanks through experimentation and discussion.
i guess, if they've wronged someone close to me. otherwise i don't think it would do anything for me.
Would who they are dictate whether you'd feel guilt at all? Or would you feel guilt regardless, but only be compelled to make amends if they were someone that mattered to you? And when you do try to make amends, do you think you're doing it for them, or is it really meant to make yourself feel better or repair your damaged reputation?
who they are dictates it. if someone who is nothing to me fucks with me and i respond in kind, even excessively i like to think of it as a lesson learned for them. now those close to me i have to look at differently. i might know what makes them tick and why which leaves more room for understanding and compassion, and i will most likely care for them more.
- What have you done that the average person might feel guilt and remorse over, but you didn't?
Abused and killed my own pets.
Other illegal things that relate to my aggressive, homicidal urges.
- Do you ever do things for your own personal benefit/amusement that could be described as cruel and/or malicious? If yes, what were they?
- Maliciously trolled people in order to purposefully upset them and/or make them angry.
- Used intimidation to harass and threaten people.
- Spread a nasty rumor about someone saying that she is a rape victim when, in fact, she's not.
- Bullied a rape victim.
- Bullied an abuse victim.
- Taunted someone who failed an attempted suicide.
- Taunted a murder victim's family member who was experiencing grief at the time.
- Made fun of my daughter by calling her names as though she were stupid. I'd tell her things like "There's nothing but air between your ears", or I would call her a nickname like El Retardo. I only said those things as a joke because it amused me. I don't say things like that to her anymore. Well, most of the time I don't anyway.
- Do you think the ability to feel guilt and remorse is more of a hindrance or a benefit to humanity?
I don't recall ever feeling guilt and remorse myself, and that hasn't been a hindrance to me. On a grander scale though, I can see how guilt and remorse is beneficial to humanity, especially in regard to co-operation and survival in communities where one desires to live in a safe environment
