'I almost let my sister drown and have no regrets'

A diagnosed psychopath has candidly opened up about the time he almost let his little sister drown, and how he has 'no regrets'.

Psychopathy is a complex condition and is diagnosed differently around the world. Here in the UK, it isn't an official, standalone medical diagnosis recognised by the NHS. But in Belgium, it can be formally diagnosed - and this is how Loic De Marie got the answers to his being perceived as 'different'.

Now aged 25, the Belgian native received his antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) diagnosis when he was 23. But for as long as he could remember, there was always something 'a little different' about him.

For LADbible's latest Minutes With episode, Loic reminisces on his childhood and speaks honestly about how he perceives his condition.

Admitting his childhood was 'really nice', he says he lived in a middle-class family, and his mum was 'really empathetic, protecting me'. But when his parents divorced, this is when the cracks began to show.

'It doesn't help this kind of behaviour from a mother or a father'

"At seven years old, my parents divorced and after that my mum fell into alcohol," Loic recalls.

"At the age I think of eight, she tried to kill herself. So in my adolescence, my mum was drinking from maybe my eight years to 16 years.

"And she was aggressive, she was absent sometimes and it got an impact on me. She was saying to me that I'm not her son anymore. And she was this kind of mean.

"This is the kind of thing that with psychopathy, it changes you. With psychopathy, you are born that way, but it doesn't help this kind of behaviour from a mother or a father."

Loic says it was when he was around six-years-old when his mum noticed something wasn't quite right, which came when he almost let his little sister drown.

'The only thing that matters to me was my clothes'

"She fell into the swimming pool and I looked at her and... this is something that's gonna shock some people, because I was looking at her and I didn't jump into the pool," he remembers. "You know why? Because at the time, the only thing that matters to me was my clothes.

"My mum came out of the house and she's yelling, screaming that why I didn't jump into the pool. And I answered, 'Mum, my clothes are clean'. And she was like, 'What the f**k is wrong with this kid?'

"That was the first time my mum understood that I was different."

Loic insists this wasn't an act of cruelty, though, and was rather him just 'feeling unempathetic' towards his sister.

Throughout his childhood, Loic learned how to 'mask' and mimic emotions, with him explaining: "When you are a society and the norms are to be very empathetic or to be emotional, when you're not, what they're gonna tell to you is that you're a monster."

He recalls being told in school that a classmate had died in an accident, and how all the other children cried and showed emotion but him - in that moment, he perceived them all as 'f**king weak'.

"At this time, and sometimes it's still the case. I don't understand the importance of the life of others," he says.

"When I was seeing them crying, I was like, 'Why? He's already dead. So what is gonna change if you cry?'"

'I just want something and I get what I want'

Though Loic has been able to form friendships and relationships, it's impossible to truly connect to others and make social bonds - something he proved when he made the decision to start a relationship with the ex-partner of a friend.

"I had a best friend, yeah, but one day I had a relationship with his ex-girlfriend, and I know now that it is not correct to do that," he recalls.

"But at the time, I was not feeling bad, because I was like, I just want something and I get what I want."

Despite his lack of emotions, Loic says he doesn't have any regrets and wouldn't change anything, even if he could.

'There is always a dark side'

When asked about the incident with his sister and his feelings on his classmate dying and if he would change anything, Loic replies: "Never, because I believe that sometimes emotions is a weakness, sometimes.

"I had a beautiful life, even in the past, I don't regret anything. And if I could change, people very often ask me this question, even in interviews, and I always respond, never, never."

He adds when speaking of sleeping with his friend's ex: "I don't feel regret... because I cannot, so I'm gonna be honest, but I think I have changed, and I'm not gonna do that anymore."

Loic says he thinks he's a good person 'without a doubt', as he's 'doing good things without hurting anybody else'.

But he adds: "So the question is, of course, there is always a dark side, and I think nobody can be a total good person."
