I’m currently 18 years old, and I don’t know how to figure out what’s going on with me. I completely lack empathy and a sense of joy. I feel bored all day long. I’m constantly pretending to be someone I’m not. I mostly use my charisma on other people, but no matter whether they like me or not, I get absolutely no enjoyment out of it—nothing. I’m bored every single day. So far, I’ve only seen a psychotherapist once for a single consultation. By the end of the session, the woman seemed to be in a state of shock, even though I hadn’t said anything terrible (at least, I don’t think I did). For one thing, I view my inner circle—which consists of just two people—and the rest of humanity merely as chess pieces; whether I might need them someday or not makes no difference to me. If I want something, I get it. I don’t even know how. How do I find out what’s wrong with me? I really don’t want to go to a psychologist.

I was watching a sitcom and came across a situation where a character was trying to manipulate someone by buttering them up with compliments and the recipient was so dumb that it essentially didn't work. Could you actually come across a person so "dumb" that they can't be manipulated?
