Manipulation Tactics.

It’s so frustrating that I want to choke them right then and there, whether I’m public or not. I usually just get mad at them and tell them whatever it is doesn’t matter, but that’s because I’m always around guys because girls are too annoying for me. I have two friends who are girls and all of the rest are guys. I’ve only slept with a few of my guy friends, surprisingly, because I only make friends with attractive guys, just in case something happens with us one drunk night. I don’t want to regret anything...

1) No I'm perfectly alright with the idea that other people have an orgasm seeing a pet dog and I don't.

2) Why do people know you can't feel stuff?

3) Wow you want to choke them? Just leave them to themselves if you hate them that much, and if we're going to talk about killing, I mean- I'd just snap my finger and have them disappear not because I want them to be dead but only because I don't want them to here at all.

4) "I’m always around guys because girls are too annoying for me." Yeah you sound like the type of girl that goes 'I don't hang out with girls cuz they're too much drama'.

It's an old tactic, you compliment people but I'll explain why it works.

So the general idea is that you'll appear slimely if you don't do it perfectly, but as human nature goes, imagine you received a compliment from someone, are you going to think that it's fake- and essentially admit that you don't actually possess the quality that you're being complimented on-? Or do you accept the compliment because you clearly are that sort of person that has that quality?

I mostly use positive and negative reinforcement (for people easy to handle), lie by omission, rationalize behavior, feign innocence and confusion, or use traumatic one-trial learning.

No, because I don't care what they can feel. I usually only care when it's beneficial for me to do so for manipulative purposes. I see no reason to be jealous of anyone.

It sounds like you want to feel what other people can feel but for some reason are struggling to do so. It indicates to me that you're possibly numbing yourself to avoid negative emotions, which is resulting in anger and resentment towards others who are happier than you are.

I think you could feel what others feel if you were willing to face your fears and allowed yourself to.

What have you gotten out of it lately?

A free haircut (lying), free subs at Subway (lying), i rationalize behavior a lot in therapy, but she catches on to it, feigning innocence and confusion comes into play with my family when i need them to help me pay for something, and i haven't used traumatic one-trial learning on anyone since my ex girl friends. Oh actually never mind, i absolutely lost my sh!t on one guy that lives with me and he hasn't stepped on my toes since.

Positive and negative reinforcement is too hard to quantify what i get out of it. Just, people who are more obedient.

I'm not sure I get why one would be jealous of emotions. If you can deal with social situations, I don't real see any detriments to being devoid of emotions. Of course, you need the ability to deal with social situations, but that's fairly easily learned in my opinion.
