basically i’m an 17 y/o female and i lack empathy to an extent. some of this may sound over dramatic, but i’m being as honest as i can be. i care about people while they’re “of use” to me. meaning while they can provide something, whether it’s an ego boost, paying for food, helping me in some way. but the minute they stop doing that, i just stop caring about them. or if it’s been a while and i find someone new that can provide, i stop caring about the original person. it’s led me to hurt people real bad, but honestly i don’t care as much as i should, if at all. i can be extremely charming and alluring, but i’ve had people call me manipulative before, including past boyfriends, friends, and even my own mother. i don’t try to be this way and i can at least recognize that it’s not a good behavior. i’m worried that the people who do like me in life are just products of my manipulation, and that i may genuinely be a bad person. is this behavior the sign of something seriously wrong?
