I Asked a Psychopath How to Stop Caring About Rejection
As Dr. James Fallon describes, "When I get rejected, I feel bad for like negative-two seconds. I just don't give a shit."

I Asked a Psychopath How to Stop Caring About Rejection
As Dr James Fallon describes, "When I get rejected I feel bad for like negative-two seconds. I just don't give a shit."
So you're saying your brain has no capacity to feel rejection?
Yeah, or the amount of rejection I would feel is much less than the average person. My circuits are tuned down, which is probably a product of genetics and nobody quite knows the genetics of that circuitry yet. But another piece of evidence is that if you look at people in whom this circuitry is very active, they often have borderline personality disorder. Those are the people who feel hurt and rejected all the time. Some of them end up committing crimes because of this, like a psychopath, but for different reasons.
Is there a way to manipulate this part of the brain?
Well there's a paper that came out last year that showed that there was one drug that turned it off. That is, an experiment was done with cancer patients who are afraid of dying. They have this sense of I'm going to die and there's going to be nothing out there. Just this existential dread. But when they were given psilocybin the fear went away.
Psilocybin? As in magic mushrooms?
That's right, magic mushrooms. So the study showed that psilocybin numbs a lot of psychic fear, and I would suggest it probably turns down the pain of social rejection.
caring or getting affected by rejection = subhuman high e high cortisol trait.
time to magic mushroom or caber max tbh
the average normie is more dark triad then the average user there
