Hi everyone,
Just in case anyone is curious, I haven't gone off the deep end nor am I afraid of posters or trolls nor have my feelings been irrepairably hurt. I thank the poster who cared enough to ask me. Hugs (((caring board member))))
I had some strong chocolate, a delete button and felt like moving on in my process of healing. I saved my threads and they might have been saved by others which is okay, but the whole process of deleting was cathartic. I'm moving on from where I was and still want to be mutually supportive, but I need to put some clothes on my soul.
By chance if some registered user that was involved in a particular thread didn't get a chance to see or read a response I sent to them in particular I will try to pm the specific post to them, if they so desire.
Last night I got to thinking about remorse and the N. Do Ns feel remorse *ever* in their lives - even as a child? Is there some time that they make a conscious decision to turn off their empathy or has it never developed?

Or were they just not interested? Persons with Aspergers/high functioning autism have problems with empathy and interpersonal behavior but can also be very moral and ethical and are willing to learn. What gives the N the excuse to not try or care. Smells suspicious to me. Like Ns are persons with Aspergers gone bad.
My nmom said a odd thing to me once. She gave me no religious training. But once she said in a sassy tone for whatever reason I can't remember - it seemed off the wall, "I used to save up all my sins during the day and confess them at night." Of course she has never admitted to wrong doing though in real life.
Makes me wonder if there are two roads a person can take who didn't get the empathy thing. They can either obsess on train schedules or computers and master "things' and be a nerd or they can obsess on getting their way and putting themselves first and master maniputation and be a bully.
