"It can't be sociopath because then there's empathy" - wrong. Most sociopaths do have a sort of weak empathy but their empathy is based only on personal experience. That's exactly what happened here. The girl saw how horrible it was to die from drowning and was sorry she had tried to drown someone. But if no one had tried to drown her. she would have continued her attempts to drown someone just for the thrill of it.

[@TheTrueKarin]

I honestly thought she meant with it: „I did not thought it would be like that“ to „I do not thought you would be clever than me and did the same as I wanted to do.“

[@lorddampnut5275]

Most of them have sympathy without empathy. They can understand to the unpleasant feeling can understand why you'd be upset about it but don't necessarily care to relate how that feeling affects other people. So like she can understand that not being able to breathe is unpleasant but doesn't care to see how almost drowning would affect someone mentally.

I can understand her feeling. I admit, when I was younger, I used to drown and hurt animals until I experienced the same pain for myself and realised how horrible it was.

I was at a neighborhood pool party when I was younger (11 years old). There was a girl there that was very large not just by height but by size, why this is important is because I weighed less than 80 pounds due to my medical problems at the time. She tried to drown me multiple times until another kid realized and grabbed an adult. I remember waking up on the side of the pool choking on water and was taken to the hospital. The police talked to her, but since she was under the age of 18, she was given a verbal warning and her parents were told to take her to therapy. Fast-forward to 10 years later she got arrested for drowning, her boyfriend at their apartment complex pool.

When I was 9 my mom and I went to a friends house who had a son 4 years older than me, there was a mutual friend there with a son the same age. We were outside, 7/8pm playing in the front yard. It was a game the mix of keep away and tackle football. Well the other kid tackled me and didn’t get off like normal. He started strangling me. I couldn’t scream and I just started kicking and scratching his arms. The son whose house it was grabbed him and started trying to pull him off and screaming. Our moms heard and came out. He was almost 60lbs heavier than the son of the friend whose house we were at so he tried to help but just wasn’t big enough. His mom screamed at him to get off and he let me go. He would have strangled me if the moms didn’t get involved. I saw him 3 times that year and each time he did creepy things but that was the worst. A few years later I asked my mom what happened to them because we hadn’t seen them since that year. She said when he was 16 his mom gave up custody to the state because he beat her so badly she was hospitalized. He tried killing her. The other friend never wanted to play with him again and was always like a big brother and protective of me. I was lucky he was there, he never let anyone pick on me.

A few years ago my church's women's group had a local sexual assault group come in and teach us about self defense, including preventing attacks. At one point they said that sometimes someone you meet face to face while walking down the street will wait until they pass you then attack you from behind. The very next night I was walking down the street and met someone face to face. Thinking of what they had told us, I turned around just after I passed him. He was about half turned around and his hand raised almost as high as my mouth. But when he saw that I had turned around and saw him, he just turned back around and kept walking

When we got his and his teammates Canoe onto land I found blood all the way in the front of the Canoe, and the guy had to be sent to the hospital to get stitches.

[@johannasweet1120]

You just reminded me of an incident that happened years and years ago. My sister was being a weird toddler and laying on the kitchen floor in fetal position while using her feet to spin herself around in circles(???) and she hit her head on the corner of our chest freezer. There was literally a pool of blood, I mean most of the kitchen floor was completely red, and my mom’s soul probably left her body when she walked into the kitchen. She tried to stop the bleeding in my sister’s head and when it finally stopped, it was all because of one tiny pin prick in her scalp. If you’ve ever stabbed an eraser with a mechanical pencil, that’s exactly what the hole looked like. I don’t remember if she was rushed to the hospital or not but she was totally fine lol

[@GanonBlightfire]

One time I was doing this weird thing, but I fell and hit one of my temples on a piece of jagged plastic. I covered it, people said there wasn't much blood, so I raced to my bathroom to see how much, my bathroom is across the house. When I saw myself, my face was covered in grotesque blood. I ended up watching T.V. and crying the whole night.

[@TheOriginalScribbleStudios]

So it wasn't a murder, but the other day I had a hit and run attempt on me. I was walking to work and the man at the crosswalk motioned for me to cross. Something about me is I have an eye disorder where my left eye will occasionally drift on its own. I've never been so thankful for it than in this moment because I saw the man smirk as his car began to drive at me, because I noticed this I picked up pace and just barely avoided him and watched him as he drove way over the speed limit and through a red light. Later he was arrested for a hit and run on another person and I recognized him from the news. The other person is okay in case anyone was wondering.

When I was 15, my mother volunteered me to paint a 2 wall mural in the church nursery using materials I purchased with my own money. She came into the bathroom while I was taking a bath (no shower in our farmhouse then) and angrily told me that I would have to change the colors because what I was using "was too dark for a church nursery". I responded that if she wanted different colors, she could buy the paints herself. That's when she locked the bathroom door and forced my head under the water. The woman had over 100 pounds on me and had attacked from me from behind! I got my head up just long enough to scream "Help!" Luckily, my stepdad had gotten off work early that day. He busted down the bathroom door and saved my life.

We lived in am apartment building so whole we were walking to go around the back (Barely any cameras) we saw some guy walking towards us. Wr got a bit nervohs but thought nothing of it until we got a weird feeling of danger. The dude was also walking strangely, it was like he was swaying while limping. The feeling of danger alerted us and we gsve each other that look that said "Run". We both turned around amd started bolting towards the front door. We were spamming the call button for our mom to unlock it bcause theres a door bell for the building to open. During that time we were panicking because we didn't know if he was still walking towards us. Eventually the door opened and we made sure it closed before we left to our apartment. When we made it safely my brother mentioned he saw the guy holding something behind his back while walking cowards us. To this day we keep bringing it up as well as feeling too nervous to go outside at night

[@rain8125]

I’ve had a few weird encounters but this one always makes me feel weird. When I was about 4/5, i was very sassy and well fearless. Some of my parents friends were in my house, and I was playing outside with a little plastic tea set. Two boys (probably around 10/11) came out of the house and came up to me. They started taunting me, but instead of running away and giving up I continued engaging. Then, they stole one of my plastic cups and I lost my crap. I started yelling at them to give it back and I was very upset. Suddenly, one of them pulled out A KNIFE and chased me around (I was pretty fast). This is where I kind of forget what happened, but according to my parents I was screaming and a neighbor called the police. The adults finally noticed the screaming, came outside and saved me. When the police showed up, the boys parents kept on defending them like THEY WEREN’T CHASING A 4 YR OLD WITH A KNIFE, and left shortly after. To this day I don’t know how I outran those two boys, and if I had not noticed the knife no one would have known what happened. Freaky.

I was about six or seven, home alone on a warm suburban day. I don't know where my family was, work or school. I may have been home sick, or it could have been a weekend, or summer vacation. Suddenly I began salivating like a faucet. At first, I just swallowed it, but I had to swallow so often, my throat began to hurt. So I just sat on the curb, and drooled until there was a puddle in the gutter. It ran down the hill. I got tired of squatting. So I got up and walked into the backyard, sat on a bench and drooled by the Oregon Grapes, until there was another puddle. This was crazy. Did I have rabies? That was the only thing I knew of that made you slobber so much. Finally, I went in the kitchen, got the biggest tumbler we had, and filled it. Twice. I also tossed the contents on the hill a few times, but at least I could walk around now, and it kept me from soaking my shirt with spit. So I could move around instead of just sit and gush like a garden hose. After a few hours, it tapered off. I never spoke to anyone about it, because it was just too damn weird. And I had no proof, and no witnesses. About 50 years later, I found out what had happened in a book by George Seldes. He knew Mussolini, who was treated for syphilis with dangerously large doses of mercury. The side effect is hours of uncontrollable drooling, quarts of clear, watery spittle, flowing like a faucet. Somebody in my family had poisoned me.

I like how you're outraged on OP's behalf in the last story.😂 Second interpretation of the low price: Those are some low price and affordable hitmen. Based on movies, video games, and some true stories, I thought that _all_ hitmen charged 10's or 100's of thousands of dollars to kill a mark. Those two charged roughly the price of 3-4 large pizzas. $50 for _both_ of them! Which means each of them are getting $25 to kill OP. Third interpretation of the low cost: A new variation of the ex not respecting OP. The ex didn't respect OP enough to hire one or more quality hitmen. I bet those two had never killed anyone before. I bet those don't even have prior military experience. Also, those hitmen barely even put any special effort into killing OP. No stalking and figuring out when OP would be alone. No setting up an appointment with OP for one seemingly legit reason or another. Just ambush OP at the bar, while OP is distracted by the ex. They sorta half assed trying to kill him. The hitmen were also disrespectful of OP (beyond just the "murder for money").

I have some stories that resonate, but would be too disingenuous to post here. Closest was being choked at school by a fellow class mate. I didn't fight it, I was more confused than anything else. I remember the look on his face, must have been just as red as mine. I don't think I ever thought ill of him after that. Not even in the moment. Not sure what triggered him but I knew it wasn't to do with me. I was just there. Teachers found us and stopped him before any serious damage could be done. Felt like a long time, but I can't know for sure. Perspective is an interesting thing. My sister and I feel alienated by how others feel about mundane issues. It's really hard to understand how a person feels about silly things like not getting something they wanted. Something breaking or empathizing at all with something trivial. That's the thing I've noticed with people and death experience. You don't get angry at little things, because you've experienced how bad it can really be. It becomes hard to relate to others. I think I'm getting better with that though. Self improvement means being better for others too. It's not that I don't care, but it becomes astoundingly easy to dismiss their issues as stupid. All to easy to forget, that issues are relative to the person who has them.

[@yorkleroy5605]

Exactly, what you said resonates with me. It's like you just don't see any point in getting negative about most things anymore, we know how final truly bad things can be, and it's vain and temporary, so I'd rather choose to not lose my joy to it.

[@destinyfranz7580]

For story 10 the reason why your head bleeds a lot if it gets even a minor cut is because even though it does not have a lot of blood it does have a lot of blood circulation because your brain needs blood to keep surviving Kind of like how if your heart stops so does your blood circulation but in this case the heart does not stop your blood keeps flowing In some parts of your body have faster blood circulation than others i'm giving the dumb down version because that's how I remember it

My sister [let's call her Lucy] and I were playing cops and robbers. I was the robber and she caught me. She denies this but I so distinctly remember it: My mom was sitting at a small table right next to where we were playing putting her hair in pin curls. My sister had me up against the door and she was strangling me. I still remember my mother looking over and calmly saying "Lucy, please let go of your sister's neck, she is turning blue." I would like to point out that, like in your case, it never happened again.

My youngest brother bullied me for years and I got blamed, being the eldest, even tho I didn't do anything to provoke him or anything. (he later acknowledged this in an apology letter) He tried to strangle me on the couch, so I bit him. His school called CPS and my mum threw me under the bus, for which I haven't forgiven her, and it's been 40 years. Me and him are good now, he got on meds and grew up, and is a good guy now. But yeah. I have a lot of trust issues, partly bc of how I was treated growing up. I know why they treated me the way they did, tho it's still a pretty reprehensible thing to blame your kid for being born when they have no choice in the matter. My dad and I made peace before he passed away last year, but idk if it'll ever happen with my mum. She's cut herself off from everyone since he passed away, so...

Not sure if this counts but, I avoided a serial rapist/killer. In 2001, I was a student at Moorpark College, CA. At the time, police were trying to solve a bunch of rapes and dubbed the suspect the “Simi Valley Rapist”. One night, while driving home from Los Angeles, I got on the wrong freeway and ended up getting lost for about 25 minutes. When I finally found the right freeway and drove home, I found that there was an extreme car accident at my normal exit. It looks like my being lost caused me to avoid being part of this accident. The accident was the Simi Valley Rapist attacking and killing a lone female driver. Shortly after this, he was caught. I still think about that night- if I hadn’t been lost on the freeway, I would’ve been at the exit during the time he attacked…

[@CoolCademMAnimates-fz1ui]

A guy follows me and my friend home from school in a creepy black suburban car with the back windows tinted. I stay at his house and wait for my dad to pick me up so I didn’t have to come home with this creepy guy following me. A few months later, we hear about this guy who over a weekend goes into our school yard, r*pes these little girls and leaves. These guys in my grade called 911 and took pictures of him as he left to show the police. They catch the r*pist as he tried to escape. Next day at school I ask said kid to show me the pictures and to my surprise, it was the same guy who followed me and my friend home from school. That moment of realization was the scariest part because if I had continued walking alone or if my dad couldn’t pick me up, I could have been r*ped. There were actually 2 guys in the car at least but only 1 was caught. Haven’t heard of the other guy since. I do believe I know what happened to the other man in the car though. A week after the r*pe in the school yard, these grade 10 kids in the park next to our school were st*bbed by a tree branch in an attack. The teenagers refused to give any information other than that they were in a fight and were stabbed by a stick. The attacker was never caught. Because it was a week apart and in the same general area, I do believe the attacker was the second guy in the car with the r*pist.

this isn't my story, but my stepmoms. Her sister, her cousin, and her were home alone, and were playing in their room. They were about 12 and had phones. Suddenly, they all heard a truck pull up into the driveway. Her sister silently crawled up to the door and locked it. The man knocked on the door and asked as if talking to a parent if they had any children. Terrified, they called their uncle who was just a few blocks down the road to come pick them up. He parks in the alley behind the house that was out of sight. All 3 of them lie down in the bed of his truck and they drive off. By the time they left, the man had moved on to the next house talking to the mother. He was asking her if she had any kids and if he could talk to them to see if they wanted any of the books he had to sell. She declined, and he left visably upset. Just then they got an alert that an inmate had escaped and was in the town and to look out. turns out he was a serial killer and had targeted them. to this day the cousin has no recolection of this.

I am in a city that doesn't really have gang activity, but this day there was a drive by. I was standing at a glass enclosed bus stop with about 8 other people. I saw a quarter on the ground and reached for it. Saved my life. Was really surreal and slow motion, hearing the pop pop pop and seeing 3 holes appear in the glass right behind where I had just been standing. Slowly spider webs appeared between the holes, then suddenly time started again and the whole glass shattered. Multiple people called 9-1-1 but it was never even in the news, and a friend I knew that had a cop dad claimed they said it was a prank and not bullets. Makes me wonder if there's actually more drive by and crap like that around here, that just gets covered up because "this is a safe city".

Technically this isn't a murder survivor story, but it's a witness to a murder survivor. My grandma, many years ago, was leaving the store with my mom and aunt and outside the store was a car. There was a teenager sleeping in the passenger seat. These 2 guys start walking up to the car. My grandma had a bad feeling about them so just casually looked. They start beating the crap out of the teenager. My grandma grabs her kids and runs to her car. The teenager was bleeding everywhere and obviously awake. The guys pull him out of the car and beat him more. He survived, but in pretty rough condition. My grandma had to go to court with him, and recalling everything that happened was just traumatizing.

Story 10. 4 years is definitely light for attempted murder, that is crazy!

If I was her though, I’d definitely be pissed, and would want to try to remove whatever half assed prosecutor was in office. People have spent more time in prison over weed, this is ridiculous, no wonder people are getting upset with governments being too lenient, and crime is at an all time high. They just seem to let criminals out. You hear too many stories of some thug who was let out, and goes on to kill someone. I say its time to bring back harsher crime penalties. The girl that had the guy that had a gun that misfired on her, is definitely crazy lucky, misfire chance is like a 1 in 300k or something. Also, giving up money to a thug is one thing, but if they are dragging you off, or telling you to go to another location… thats the time to fight, nothing usually good happens, when someone tries to move you to another location.

When I was 11 years old, I lived in this apartment complex with my family. The apartment had a pool that I frequently went to. That summer I had a friend over for a week because she lived 4-6 hours away from me. Anyway, we decided to go to the pool on one of our last nights together as there was a movie night social event. My whole family went. The movie was actually playing at the pool and the setup was really awesome. It was pitch black and my friend and I went to hang out in the pool to watch the movie while my family sat on the outside. The lights from the screen and projector were so bright that it is hard to tell what is going on in the pool. My friend and I were playing around and dancing. I placed my hands on her shoulder and she started to sink. (I still don’t understand how she was sinking as I didn’t apply any pressure on her shoulders and she was stronger than I was). Panicking, I went under the water and I tried to lift her up. She got really angry with me thinking that I did it intentionally and before I could explain myself my friend reached behind me, forced my mouth open and shoved me under the water. I couldn’t process for a moment what was going on and hoped that she was just joking, but when she continued to push me under the water, I realized the situation was serious. I began kicking and even tried to get out of her grasp but nothing was working. This friend of mine was more muscular and bigger than me. At the time, I was only about 5 ft and weighed under 100lbs, so you can imagine the struggle I was having. After squirming for maybe about a minute, I ended up smacking her arms and she decided to let go. I managed to break free and got up to the surface to catch my breath. Nobody saw anything happen. My friend looked completely shocked for a moment that she did that. It was almost like she didn’t mean to act aggressively but she didn’t say a word about that incident. Anyway, after our sleepover, she was sent home and we never spoke to each other since. This friend wasn’t really good to me anyway as she often slapped me and hit me during our play dates. To be fair, her father was pretty abusive but in my mind, I can’t justify her actions in this incident. I told my family that story last year after they asked about my old friend from elementary school. Let’s just say they understood why I didn’t speak to her after that.

When I was between 6-8 my parents and I went to town. I was excited because whenever we went to town I would get a lollipop.

I turned to see a guy holding back an older man who had tried to hit me over the head with a bottle. He probably would have if I wasnt jumping back and forth. The guy was drunk and still trying to get me calling me a demon. My parents grabbed me and we left.

[@TroySmith-wx2mq]

Was hiking in a nearby canyon and climbed to a creek above a popular waterfall. After standing over the top of the waterfall to get pictures taken by family members at the bottom, I started to go back across the small river to make my descent. As I was crossing a small stone in the riverbed caught my eye so I stopped moving to get a closer look. Literally the second I stopped walking forward a rock the size of my head fell past me right in front of my face and made a giant splash in the water. The river leading up to the waterfall runs along the bottom of an about 25 ft cliff, and I dashed out of the river thinking that it was some sort of rock slide. I turned around was stunned to see a guy who looked to be about 14-15 years old at the top the cliff holding another rock looking surprised and disappointed. I started yelling at him and he took off running, boy am I glad there was a cliff between me and him because in that moment I would have seriously messed him up. We never saw him again the rest of the hike but after talking with other hikers who had seen what happened there was no way it had been an accident. If I hadn't noticed that rock in the riverbed I would be very dead. And if the cliff hadn't been there he probably would be and I would be in jail.
