Maybe I’m a psychopath. Maybe I truly am mentally disconnected from reality. Lacking empathy. But I want attention. After I tried to kill myself I just wanted to shout it to the world. Why did I want to do that? Why do I want to do anything? I’m useless. Oof, this is a hard one to swallow.

You can shout it to world no one will hear! Don’t think bad of yourself though, because thoughts like that aren’t true and get you nowhere.
What makes you feel like you are disconnected from reality? Is that related to your lack of empathy?
Lacking empathy doesn’t make you crazy and doesn’t mean you deserve to die! A good friend of mine is autistic so he had to teach himself how to act empathetic, even though he still doesn’t really feel empathy. And hey, maybe you’ll find you are empathetic after all. Either way is okay.
You aren’t useless, it just sounds like you’re in a very bad, dark place now, which can make it really easy to feel like that. But your life is important, even if sometimes your mind wants to tell you otherwise. I hope you feel better.
