Psychopath who ‘let his sister drown’ shares what people get wrong about their emotions

A psychopath has explained the emotions he feels and how he experiences them differently to other people.

Loic De Marie reckons that the 'first clue' he might have been a psychopath was when he was a child and his sister was drowning in the family pool.

He told the People Are Deep YouTube channel that when his sister fell into the pool he didn't jump in to rescue her, instead looking at her until he thought 'maybe I need to do something'.

He then reached out to her with a plastic toy and got her over to the pool ladder so she could climb out, with his mum shouting at him for not jumping into the water since he could swim and young Loic saying 'my clothes are clean'.

Speaking further, he explained that he feels emotions differently to others and that 'when you think like me you think that everybody around you feels the same way as you'.

The diagnosed psychopath explained that in his mindset he expects everyone else to be as 'shallow as me', and this was 'why I always got my shot first because I think if I don't do it, they're going to do it'.

"We know that we are different. That's why we act this way we play the game we're going to be very kind at the beginning. We learn through observation 'what is the normal relationship'," he told the YouTube channel.

"You need to understand that if you want to get something from somebody you need to play that game."

As far as his emotions are concerned, Loic said he did indeed feel them and people could sometimes get the wrong assumption about psychopaths and their feelings.

He said: "People tend to believe that psychopaths don't feel emotion and it it is not quite true. We feel emotions but it is shallow emotions like proto-emotions not at the same depth as you.

"We can feel frustration, anger, joy. I can, I'm very happy, I can feel happiness. I can laugh a lot, but never any guilt. No matter what I've done, never. I don't regret anything.

"I'm going to live once and I'm going to do it for myself. I don't have any regret."

He said he doesn't 'give a s**t' about what people think of him and claims he doesn't 'need to be loved', instead he 'needs to know what I have to do'.

He's not the only psychopath to speak about how he experiences emotions, as a woman named Vic added that she felt emotions even if they were 'muted' compared to everyone else and that the ones she was sure she didn't feel were 'emotional empathy, love, regret and anxiety'.

Vic said she realised the difference through observing other people and seeing they reacted to things much more than she did and imagines other people's emotions to be 'so terrible and overwhelming'.
