It might take work and a lot of soul searching. However, no emotion does in no way make you a bad person. You may feel so but it is really something out of your control.

It's the "no conscience" bit that makes me a bad person. And the lack of conscience is a result of the lack of empathy. And the lack of empathy is a result of poor understanding of emotion and no capacity for those emotions that are complex, such as love and caring and guilt and remorse. Again, thank you all for providing evidence to the contrary, but I am, without a doubt, a psychopath.
In fact, I will, if you would all like, give a clear definition and examples of psychopaths ... as well as any other tidbits of information I can muster. I find it quite pleasant that you all are trying to defend me from my own perceptions of myself. But, at the same time, it indicates to me a poor understanding of what a psychopath really is. And I think you should all know. It's very useful information when one is in the midst of the schemes of an ill-intending psychopath.
