Have you ever met another psychopath who didn't share this view on love and commitment?

I was curious about that

Oxytocin, as well as vasopressin is also involved in orgasm.

I wonder if there’s been any studies on orgasm experience and psychopaths

So psychopaths cannot recognise faces? I always read your answers and posts, but I don’t remember reading that before

Do you think you’d be able to cognitively love someone emotional? Or would they look weaker in your eyes, easy to manipulate and you would probably lose respect for that matter?

Also, would you do a favour to chat with me for a little bit?

Oxytocin addict here. If you can't feel these things, then why live with someone and share a life with them? Wouldn't it be easier to have friends with benefits? The way you talk about investment isn't a foreign concept to me. It's the same way I view friends. I do have certain friends I'd say I love, because I've known them for so long, but I wouldn't hesitate to remove them from my life if I honestly thought they betrayed me... Stole money, slept with my wife.. Or even if they did something not against me, but something I find offensive against another, like rape, murder or something along those lines. I guess I don't understand what the allure of being in a "romantic relationship" for lack of a better word, if you can get the same exact thing out of being a friend. It's not a foreign concept to people that it takes more than love... Hence the "honeymoon" period, is a reality people discuss openly.

I’ve been betrayed, save just a few, by everyone I’ve ever loved, ever invested in. Not just in romantic love, but also by close friends, and by family. It’s not lost on me that I am the common denominator. Could you provide any insight on this, to help me better understand the problem? on what I need to change in my behavior to save my future?
