    I can honestly say I don’t feel the emotion of guilt. I’m not a psychopath. I have a conscience and have a very strong moral compass.

    But I don’t feel guilty. Just fear of getting caught… In fact what I feel most is fear. The only person who I feel happy with is my girlfriend and if she ever breaks up with me it’ll probably break me as a man.

      That sounds an awful lot like you’re cheating on her.

          I’m not afraid of getting caught for cheating because I’m not cheating. Unless I misread that and you did something else that you’re afraid of getting caught for.

            I think I see where the disconnect is. When I say getting caught I mean in general for anything that I might be doing that is otherwise inappropriate.

            Not necessarily any one thing.

            But I am also not currently cheating on my gf.

      Why do you think it is? Is it a lack of empathy? I feel guilty if I hurt someone because of how hurt they are, which is empathy.
