I think ive become desensitized to all the violence on tv. When I hear statistics about 10000 people dying somewhere I don’t feel anything. Its horrible but theres something wrong with me! Am I a sosciopath/psychopath?

No, it's perfectly normal. Many people don't feel anything or much when they hear about somebody dying on the news. A lot of people just feel bad and get on with their lives. It's not that they're unsympathetic, it's just how it works. They don't know the people personally and it's like they're not even involved. Idk, it's hard to explain. But it's perfectly normal, don't worry. It would actually be weird if you heard about somebody dying that lived across the country. I've read a book before about a lady that her twin sister died and after that, she wasn't 'all there' and when she heard something sad like somebody dying on the news she would cry and cry and cry. So it's perfectly fine that you're unphased by hearing statistics. Blahblah sorry this was really long.
