How To Become A Psycopath?

How to shut down your emotions completely?

[aurum]

You don't.

You can't actually repress emotions more than temporarily. That shit always comes back. Rather, observe your emotions objectively and see their impermanent nature.

Guess the real question is how to stop suffering from negative emotions.
First step is the recognize the thoughts that cause these emotions and then go on from there.

Unless you become completely idiot, it is not possible. Join army or martial arts and try to enforce celibacy, always keep yourself busy. You will turn into a beast.

I dont want to have them at all. I want to be completely emotion-numb, use only my reason.
Can I do it with hypnosis or affirmations?

You must be enforcing celibacy by eating less, without doing enough physical exercise. This will make you cold, not a real celibate.

No. You want easy solutions for such a big accomplishment, first become a tough guy.

@Kimasxi If you dont think, you dont have any emotions.
Thoughts come and go and so do the emotions connected to them.

How important is this thought to you to have such a emotional reacting to it?
Ever watched a scary movie when you where young and didn't sleep the whole night? How is this any different?

If you shut down your emotions you will probably go mad or just be so depressed that you would want to kill yourself. Humans are emotional beings, you shouldnt want to shut down what makes you human.

@Schulzy Shutting down also implies repressed, because in truth there is no one doing the shutting; everything is just a mechanism.

Yeah i dont think its possible to shut it off unless you dig out that part of the brain or something. Even psychopats experience emotions but just differently than other people.

[Bob84]

@Schulzy shutting down no. However as they are caused in response to thought they in a sense can become of no value. One might even consider them optional. But you cant and dont want to get rid of them. Love, happienes, joy, etc are also emotions.

@Schulzy I'm not well versed in the area. This area deserves great attention though. I thought I was a psychopath growing up becuase the kinds of thoughts I had were mental institutional level ?. I used to shake my head and quickly say God forbid. Now I simply say, haha that's an interesting thought, I would never do that, but ego you are one creative devil ?

lmao

@Bob84 True

Why do you want to become a psychopath? Why do you want to repress your emotions? 

[AxelK]

People who are psychopaths miss the best aspects of life, Therefore i just feel sorry for them, most of them  can't help it either. Also, shutting down your feelings is not the same as being a psychopath.

Psychopaths have emotions. What they don't have is empathy.

But as others have said, you can't supress emotions. But you can learn to acknowledge them and detach from reacting to them.

The only way you will have less emotions is by having less emotional triggers.

Whilst you can't stop emotions, you can reduce the frequency with which you experience them, Often they are triggered in response to a thought or a context, like a situation. And the kind and intensity of the emotion depends largely on how that situation or trigger serves your self-agenda. If it serves you, you feel a positive emotion, if it takes from you you may feel a negative emotion. So the key is to change the way you perceive situations such that you are less reactive to them. To do that, you need to understand why you are reactive to them in the first place.

Watch horror movies, gore videos, live beheadings, rape porn. After a while you will feel nothing anymore. Your own family could be raped and chopped into pieces in front of your eyes and you wouldn't give a damn. Sounds cool?

A hypothetical brain surgery of some type that does not currently exist as a possibility and never might.

Hahaha, funny but it actually is cool if you look at it from a certain perspective. You could be raped yourself and you wouldn't give a damn. It´s actually cool to me. You would almost never feel fear, total immunity to people's attempts of hurting you.

You can't shut down your emotions completely. By trying all you are doing is suppressing them. They will eventually come back to bite you. The best approach is change your opinion of emotions. What's wrong with them? Let yourself feel them and let them pass through you and then move on.
