Happily dating a sociopath

A reader shares how (through fits and starts) she has found success in maintaining a romantic relationship with a sociopath.

After some earlier history, I’ve now been dating A. for 13 months. I have grown a lot in that time and honestly we are now at a point where the level of intimacy is quite enough for me. There is a level of trust between us that I wouldn’t have anticipated; in fact that exceeds anything I have known. He is responsive to me.

I wanted to share some of the features of the dynamic that I believe have been helpful.

Firstly, I learned from interacting on Sociopath World that sociopaths want to be treated fairly, just as anyone does. They are social organisms and must solve all the same problems any social organism faces. From this point, I developed an hypothesis that control-seeking behaviours such as manipulation are a strategy for creating a safe and predictable environment.There were lots of data points I used when coming to this hypothesis, not least of which that it’s a common strategy amongst primates!
  
Referring to our previous history, I'd always had a gut-feeling that A. hadn’t intended to hurt me. He had said as much. He also had ample opportunity to truly injure me (for example, by ruining my reputation at work) and he had refrained. I think the truth of this sat in my mind for a long time, burbling around with all sorts of dissonant conceptions and questions. Coupled with the life-changing positive effects our earlier interactions catalysed, I was driven to understand who this creature was. In this process, I reimagined my conception of the human condition and human sociality in general (that's another story.)

I eventually created two operating hypotheses:

He needs to feel safe and elusivity is his preferred strategy. 

This view diverges from standard interpretations that sociopaths / psychopaths seek power / control for it’s own sake. I believe that idea to be flawed as a blanket rule as it didn’t fit my observations andbecause there is too much overhead for that to be an end in itself. Control / power seeking is a means to an end. What problem does it solve? It aims to create predictability. 

He wants exit routes, freedom from being pinned down. He prefers to meet on his terms, when it suits him, where he can manage the interaction. In other words, he wants the interaction to be predictable for him and less predictable for me. I make sure to call him on his behaviour if he is unfair in attempting to achieve this aim.

2. Neither of us intends to hurt the other: we simply have different strategies for managing risk.
He appears to accept this view.

I’ve deemed it worthwhile to invest in the relationship. This means interpreting him generously, in alignment with both operating hypotheses. I can see he doesn’t ever want to overcommit himself or be in a place he can’t back out of. When he says I have a beautiful bum, it actually means he rather likes me. It’s difficult for him to say that, but I can recognise his intention.  When I said I was glad I’d met him, he said “yes, you’re right.” It meant he was also glad. He speaks by code and metaphor. Even this is extremely direct in my experience of him and I want to honour that. I know he can’t be vulnerable.

Investing also means making an effort to offer him safety, to predict and provide for his needs. This takes all sorts of bravery and intuition, but he rewards my efforts and reciprocates. He listens and responds - perhaps not to the degree I have requested, but again, I can see he is doing what he can.
Loving him thus becomes a very practical matter of respecting each other’s needs, allowing each other space to develop our own safety and to maintain our independence. I am blown away that he responds to me. The process helps me both learn about my own needs and actually be empathetic toward him. I must also be bold in asking for what I need.

This is not to say it’s easy. He is still cold and aloof. He’s very cold and this drives all my fears to the surface. They rise to choke me; which provides an opportunity for me to address them.
Additionally, it’s incumbent on me to take the risks entailed in relationship growth.

It’s my experience, however, that the risks are worthwhile. He makes efforts and that is beautiful to me. It’s healing elixir. That he isn’t too perturbed when I panic teaches me that there is space for me and I probably don’t need to panic. It gives me the opportunity to realise I am an adult, no longer the comfortless child I was. I am learning to see his efforts and recognise them. This means I am finally letting someone in. 

I think when he feels safe, he’s happy to let me feel safe too. He cares. I read the other day that when a sociopath is controlling you, he might love you. I think I am experiencing his love, although I don’t feel controlled. The connection is safety: I think a sociopath can love when he or she feels safe. 

Intent counts hugely.

This reminds me a little bit about what one of my friend says about me -- that I don't always do a great job at being a friend, but she can tell that I am trying and that is what matters most to her.

  1. Great post. I agree strongly with the main points.

    Once in a relationship we tend to work hard to stay in them. Love may be difficult to identify, but trust and a sense of security with a familiar partner is invaluable.

    It is also difficult to train a new partner who wants to assist. It is useful to have someone to help you appear normal, not have well meaning acquaintences try to set you up, explain why that person is crying, why that person is staring at me like I grew a second head (usually something I said), or to see who is knocking at the door.

    I have been married for over 20 years, and while not necessarily a TV drama loving relationship, it is mutually beneficial. It is truly an arrangement of opposites as she is on the opposite end if the emotional spectrum and together we kind of cancel out as a pair. We learn from each other, and form a more social facade together, than apart.

    I also strongly believe in the comments about the power seeking behavior. It is there always, but a lot (probably most) prefer to work behind the scenes, quietly manipulating our environment to gain the control we need, without having others bust into our paradise. I try to avoid direct confrontation unless I control the situation so I to have escape routes planned with back up contingencies.

  2. @manicgecko You've been able to have a successful relationship for 20 years? I don't know if I'm jealous or terrified. If it's working for your as a tool to function though good on you.

    As for the OP it reminds me of all the people that have tried to date or be friends with me and told themselves they had an understanding of me. Only one ever did, and he spends most of his time on another state far away.

    1. as I stated we have trained each other and neither want to give up the benefits. Don't look for any made for TV movies, it isn't always pretty, and if people see us in private they would see more of a business arrangement than anything else. But it is safe, it is secure, and for me at least it is a controlled normal. On the plus side, to all casual observers we are a normal, "no need to get the church group involved" couple

      My biggest problem and the source of our most intense moments is my inability to anticipate and reciprocate her emotions. I try. She knows I try. I fail, often. I have to force myself to try to understand. She has to try to suppress her emotions to explain to my logic.

      I won't lie, there have been months where we didn't talk to each other because of a poor choice of words on my part

      But all in all there is a sense of comfort in knowing there is someone who understands you more than most, who is willing to explain the unrational, check me in public when I cross a line, and teach me how it looks to love someone. I would like to think I help her with her social issues as well.

    2. "My biggest problem and the source of our most intense moments is my inability to anticipate and reciprocate her emotions. I try. She knows I try. I fail, often. "

      This can be very hard for me too. I'm lucky though, because somehow I feel like **-*'s physical language is a very god communicator of his intent and I rely on that more than on words. I'm not so good at expressing emotions even though I feel them. So that works.

      "I have to force myself to try to understand."
      I think that effort is significant. Trying, or even being patient while she experiences her emotions, is a a valuable thing. When she has calmed, it's probably a lot easier for her to explain.

      He also prefers to steer clear of conflict unless he can control it and have escape avenues. He will usually try to steer well clear of me if I'm emotional. Although we did manage to navigate an emotional situation the other week. I was very angry and even threw my keys. He stood there calmly washing his wine decanter. When things were calm, he advised me the perils of violence and suggested I walk when angry. I later asked him to forgive me a grudge he had been holding and he has.

      Appreciating the good things he does is very important. When he buys me tea or things for breakfast or cooks me a nice meal. It's really teaching me to look for the good things in life and not focus on the negatives.

      20 years is a great effort under any circumstances. Glad it's working out for you.

  4. I have sociopathic tendencies and also dating a sociopath and it was really tough in the beginning. However, when I realized he knew and he opened up to me about who he was and wanted someone he could confide in that was like him was an enlightening moment for us both. When I realized he didn't feel intimidated by me but loved the fact that we are almost identical in terms of thinking and just everything in general it made him open up. He even confided in me about how he used to think he just didn't have a personality and told me how he would gaslight women, etc. He didn't use those terms but we both engage in the exact same behaviors so I knew already what he was referring to. I think we are good for each other because we keep one another accountable. IDK if he is seeing other women and still engaging in behaviors but honestly, if he was I wouldn't even care. We share a bond that I have never ever in my life shared and wouldn't give it up for the world.

    1. "We share a bond that I have never ever in my life shared and wouldn't give it up for the world"

      Although I'm very different, I've never had the intimacy I have with **-* either. I think working through our different perspectives is intimacy, and that reflects physically. I would even say that intimacy is helping me grow; it stretches me to be more trusting and accepting of myself and more generous and open in my approach to others.

      People have asked me whether it's possible for psychopaths/sociopaths to form attachments. What do you think about this question? I think it is possible to have intimacy per my description or a bond as you say.

      Delete
    2. I am attached to what I own for as long as I own it. That is my attachment.

      I can lose ownership in many ways: My own fault, loss of interest, theft, the fault of others, escape, indifference, too broken, not broken enough, boredom, stop being useful, etc.

      I do not bond, at least not long term. Things I own and things I find useful, these are the things I am attached with.

      Delete
    3. I have had many people in my life claim we had a bond. None of that has been true. I have a single person that has never lost their use since I met him. I visit him, I use him, he uses me. When that utility is gone we will drift apart. Be it next week or 5 years. We go months and years without seeing each other. He handles my book, and several accounts.

      Most importantly he has no illusions of bonds or commitment, and neither do I.

    5. North I think we can form attachments however, unlike most people I have always been able to just walk away from people whenever I'm not getting something from them with no regard. If me and him stopped having our connection I could easily just walk away and feel nothing. Same with someone I have been with for twelve years. I can just walk away and never honestly care. I think I have emotions but they are very shallow compared to others. With J it's different because I've never been in an intimate relationship with someone like me before.

    9. Sometimes it's a surprise, but usually it all just slowly builds until they realize I'll never be what they want, and their own self deceptions can't hold on anymore.

      Their mistake is easy, when I said I couldn't be what they wanted they should have listened. They should have seen v what was right Infront of them.

    10. "Their mistake is easy, when I said I couldn't be what they wanted they should have listened. They should have seen v what was right Infront of them."

      Okay, that makes sense to me. **-* has been clear about what he wants and can offer. There's sometimes a tide in me that pulls for more, but there's also a thread in me that says if I want to hold him, I have to accept him for what he is (it's a quote from a movie watched as a teenager which stuck in my mind for some reason, as if I knew it would come in handy some day.)

      When I do let go and stop forcing, there's actually more freedom for both of us. It makes space for us to both relax and just be. And that turns out to be the foundation for the intimacy I've been talking about.

      But I learnt that the hard way, lol! It's all so different to what one expects, but different doesn't equate to bad.

      Thanks.

    2. It's the cornerstone of human culture (in the anthropological sense) to share knowledge and personal relationships are a big part of our lives. It's normal to talk about them. Since I'm in a comparatively rare situation, sharing anonymously online is an effective way to learn.

      I guess it may be seen as exposing vulnerability but in my experience, the learning outweighs the risk.

      I also wrote to say thanks to the people here who have helped me. There's a bunch of things I'd absolutely never have guessed at myself e.g. Swop pointing out **-* was acting strangely because he was jealous. Stuff like that helped me understand not only the incident but also some of the mechanics.

    I don't want attention by small willed people like you who can only generate pity by insults. I don't need the attention like you do, so call me boring and I succeeded in the facade

    I visit sites to learn about this label applied to me, and gain some hints where others succeed. What is your reason? A desire to feel morally superior to complete strangers because you can insult without consequence? I think the word for that is pathetic and any rant you apply will prove my point to those that matter, but go ahead anyway many of us that visit sites like this actually enjoy your meltdowns. We spend a lot of our lives manipulating people like you solely for entertainment, give me a good show.

You convince yourself that your wife and friends are your pets and that you're a totally emotionless and logical being who manipulates every scenario, when in reality you're a slightly strange little man living his life in his head while everyone around you goes about their business paying no mind to your delusions. You visit this site and sites likes this to play out the fantasy you're too afraid to live out and to gain affirmation from all the other misfits who spout the same nonsense you do.

  10. Alci. My point is that your neurotic ponderings over your lack of bonds with others are fucking tiresome and probably bear no relation to ASPD. I was just browsing over some of the garbage on your page and I must say you come a across like bloated narcissistic psuedo intellectual twat with a pretty serious messiah complex. You talk about sociopaths like they're some kind of master race who will switch the status quo and claim victory over regular folk(or "flies" as you refer to them haha) with tha aid of your glorious leadership. Honestly you are so delusional it's hilarious hahaha. Sociopaths aren't an oppressed group living in the shadows fearing the day they get figured out and carted off by the norms. They're regular people who just happen to be complete cunts. They have their own seperate thoughts, feelings and agendas and they don't sit around self analysing all the time because they're out getting on with their lives, often doing completly outrageous shit without giving one single fuck obout slipping under the radar in the process. The fact you've coveted the sociopath label and created this divide only goes to illustrate your inate feelings of alienation( hence the lack of bonding) and desire to feel superior to others(the big bad sociopath. The wolf among sheep). Your book is an obscure peice of shit with like one review on amazon that completly takes the piss out of you. Nobody cares what you have to say. Seriously cut this shit out and re-engage with reality my freind before its to late.

    2. To be clear on where I'm coming from, I think it's preposterous to say people are just evil, or just rotten in this day and age.

      There are no random actions; there are always precursors, reasons. Behaviour is always communication.

      Questioning the why behind the patterns is a valid and useful exercise.

  14. By the way, North, I never said people don't have their reasons for being the way they are(although genetics are thought to play a role in determining wether someone becomes a sociopaths as well as environmental factors). When I said sociopaths are regular people who just happen to be cunts, what I meant is that the try hards on this site have a tendancy to paint sociopaths as some kind of infallibly logical ubermensch subspecies and this portrayal is inaccurate. There's also a tendancy for certain people on here(including M.E. the christian mormon sociopath herself) to portray Sociopaths as some kind of misunderstood persecuted minority capable of living by a code and behaving ethically. This is also inaccurate. Society's fear and hatred for sociopaths seems pretty rational to me considering every sociopath out there is consistantly using, abusing and stomping the rest of humanity into the dirt like weeds and it's in their very nature to do so... If this guy you're fucking really is a sociopath, gaining deeper insight into his personality is not a useful exercise if your goal is to modify his behaviour. You can't alter someone's nature and sociopaths don't really undergo character growth like most people, they just keep on being sociopaths. If your goal is something other than modifying his behaviour, that means you're content being in a relationship with someone who by definition will abuse and mistreat you...

    1. Thanks Traffic.

      I actually agree with everything you're saying. I think sociopaths have their own logic; it has fewer emotional parameters and it gives them a different view of the world. It's often a very interesting view, but I would say it's different rather than better. For everyone else the emotional content is a key ingredient; there isn't actually a clear disjunct between feeling and reason; cognition flows between them. I often wonder if reason is verbalisation or symbol-making.

      Regarding his behaviour, it's trickier for me to explain. There's something about him that woke me up inside, showed me there was space for me. My dad is a narc, so was my ex-husband (who was pretty abusive.) **-* has a very gentle character in comparison, with some very sharp edges. The sociopathic stuff he does seems more like self-protection to me; mostly he wants to keep his position hidden and escape routes intact. He's not aggressive but he can be manipulative by disclosing information selectively. There have been three occasions where he has been off-the-scale callous to me. One was in a fight, one was precipitated by my own callousness, the other was the result of misunderstanding, both of us feeling wounded without intent on the other's part.

      I've grown a lot personally in relationship with him. I have to be clear and honest about what I want, I must negotiate, I must develop a cognitive empathy for his position, I must learn to predict and care for another person. I'm not a touchy-feely sort of person so with him I get to use the strength of my mind to keep the relationship smooth. All of these things have drawn me out of my squashed-up state. And we get along very well, the sex is great. It's fun hanging out with him. For me the cognitive effort is worth it and enjoyable after its own fashion.

  15. Hello, I was reading up about ASPD when I stumbled upon this thread.
    I'm currently in dubio about a friendship...

    I met someone, last year and we became friends. We have a lot of arguments, and I always related it to being burned in the past and insecurities. Lately however, I've been feeling something else is "off"

    We're currently not talking, after that last week I let him know that I take my friends very much for what they are, but that its not okay to manipulate me, and then to expect me to do as if i don't realize what is going on.

    Not too long ago, I asked him: Does it bother you when i feel bad about something you said to me?.. He danced around the question, but his first response was: "No, I'm a sociopath, ... FFS, really?"
    I had been thinking about this before... Aspie, narc.. But ASPD seems to fit quite well.

    I'm now wondering if i should "just let go" ... This seems a time where that is possible. Let it slide, and let myself have peace of mind, as the last few weeks were a rollercoaster and truly draining.
    On the other hand... I don't like giving up on people, quirks or not. If people are good to me, I want to be good to them, and I feel like part of his is really good to me.... But that part of him is a bit out of control: Wanting to control, punishing when i did something he doesn't like, passive agressive, etc...

    I'm wondering if I should confront him about the sociopath tendencies. I'm wondering if it would open up the ability to talk, trust more, see if i can adjust my frame of mind / expectations, keep better boundaries...

    Any insights from you would be helpful.

    Thanks!

    6. Hi Green,

      A sociopath must win, hence the twisted convos. The most important thing for them is to maintain their safe and strong position; this is more important to them than connection so in a conflict trying to connect the way we normally do flat out doesn't work. That would put him in a disadvantageous position (in his view.)

      You can have a mutually beneficial relationship but there's art and science to it. I'm not gonna lie, it's a lot of effort, but for me it's also been a maturing process.

      Like with a child, you have to look beneath the words and find intent pre-verbally. Does his body tell you it's over? Really?

      M.E. posted a tweet once saying the best way with a sociopath is to de-escalate. This really is the best advice.

      BUT it's super hard when you're own needs aren't met. It's hard to step outside your own paradigm and cater to another's. And sometimes you shouldn't have to. If you are ready to accept him for who he is, he should accept you.

      There are ways to communicate what you need. It might be an explicit negotiation. Generally, he would have to feel comfortable to accept any terms.

      I guess it sounds crazy but once you have a few basic principles, the confusion and energy expenditure decreases a lot. Nevertheless, I was advised (online) that if I wanted someone who appreciates my love, find a neurotypical. I never forget this. That's just how it is. A series of negotiations, with a very slowly building base of trust.

      I'm happy to chat more specifically if you're interested. north.spinning.scenarios@gmail.com

    8. in dubio"? Lol

      I take it you mean "in limbo".

      I guess we ended things yesterday after another very weird and twisted conversation. I guess it went as it always went whenever I tried to convey a point... Things get twisted and turned around putting me in the defense. Usually, that got me all upset, but not this time. I guess I see it for what it is now.

      It sounds to me as though you have a communication problem, alright. One in which you are left bumbling and confused.

      Allow me to translate:

      the narcissist/sociopath you have become entangled with is shit-testing you. He is twisting and re-framing your conversations in order to make his unreasonable behaviour sound logical and justified. This is because he wants to see to what extent he can manipulate and dominate you.

      This may not even be conscious on his part. He is merely behaving according to his nature.

      Unless he becomes self-aware, and decides for himself to change (see Damaged's comment) - you can expect more of the same.

      The vibe i get from him is that he's misunderstood, and that he looses people in his life...

      He *is* misunderstood. You were a case in point. But if he is what he claims to be, he doesn't care. In fact, he likely revels in his capacity to obfuscate and deceive.

      He probably doesn't "lose" people so much as he drops them, because the relationships become too much trouble for him to maintain.

      Sounds very lonely to me.

      He is not lonely; he is selective.

      Chances are, you won't make the cut.

      Not too long ago, I asked him: Does it bother you when i feel bad about something you said to me?.. He danced around the question, but his first response was: "No, I'm a sociopath, ... FFS, really?"

      He wants to be known.

      I'm wondering if I should confront him about the sociopath tendencies. I'm wondering if it would open up the ability to talk, trust more, see if i can adjust my frame of mind / expectations, keep better boundaries...

      If you manage to penetrate his defenses, he will value your company. If you attract him sexually, he will seek to obliterate your boundaries. But if you coldly stick to them without capitulating or yielding, he will lose interest rapidly.

      Unless he wants you, you are of limited value to him, and stand little chance of engaging him emotionally.

      If he wants you, and you want to keep him- push and pull.

      Intrigue him sexually.

      But before you do, ask yourself whether his good qualities merit your loyalty.

    10. I don't know how to do the italic, but here goes...

      In dubio / in doubt.. I guess you could say in limbo as well.Although it's not entirely what i meant, it fits, too. English is not my first language, so aplogies for the quirks in it. My "friend" is native english though... He enjoys nitpicking on mis-used words / contexts and grammar at times. :-)

      The first thing I keep wondering about is... Is he truly within the ASPD spectrum.
      It seems so easy to doubt about it. Although reading up, it does seem to fit.
      I keep being surprised how "foolproof" his "I'm so reasonable" persona is in unfolding discussions. It's truly an art by itself!

      Although I know what happens on those moments, i don't feel armed to form "responses that are good enough to show the flaws in his explanation" .. Probably because it's not in my nature to come on strong?

      "Unless he becomes self-aware, and decides for himself to change (see Damaged's comment) - you can expect more of the same. "
      > You think he isn't self aware?

      And yes.. Is it worth all the trouble. Can it be worth it? Or will it be an everlasting push pull game? Perhaps it's over already.
      > Chances are, you won't make the cut. .... perhaps that happened already.

      "He wants to be known. "
      Why would he want that? (to of course deny it later... "it was sarcasm" .. his real first language.


      " If you manage to penetrate his defenses, he will value your company. If you attract him sexually, he will seek to obliterate your boundaries. But if you coldly stick to them without capitulating or yielding, he will lose interest rapidly.

      Penetrate defenses? How?
      And so, you're saying the only way to attract is sexually?

      Oh, alright A :)

      My experience has shown his body communicates pretty clearly how he feels about me at any given point. In the absence of neurotypical-style communication, I use the warmth or coldness of his body to judge where he's at and this is a fairly reliable method. He sure as heck doesn't tell me :p

      Good to see you again.

    12. He is twisting and re-framing your conversations in order to make his unreasonable behaviour sound logical and justified.

      This explains why I say to take pre-verbal signals of intent. The words don't matter so much, the more we step away from them and look to what's underneath, the easier things are. This actually goes for all relationships.

      Basic idea is that if he's testing you, something is at stake for him, I.e. He's invested in some way.

  19. Nothing says you can't be mutually beneficial, but like bella said it's not gonna happen if your goal is to change your friend. Read to understand what they are doing and how they are doing it. Then pay attention to them as an individual rather then a label.

    If what they as an individual are fits for you, then give it a go. But don't lie to yourself that they are hiding a nice person underneath, or that they'll change.

    2. Alci is right that you'll have the best read on the situation.

      Re games, I can't say too much without more info. Generally, my view of their games is that their main purpose is to preserve their advantage. Trust is very difficult for them. They don't want to disclose their position and they do want to know how you'll react. They will deliberately test, deliberately de-stabilise, deliberately hide for these purposes.

      I guess you will have picked up a very key point from people's responses: don't try to change him or forget he's different. This is something more than stubbornness. Once, when trying to reach a mutually beneficial solution I started saying to **-* "I feel when I'm trying to reach common ground that you think..." he finished my sentence "that you're pulling me off my ground."

      They can't be pulled off their ground. I think there's a very solid survival reason for this resoluteness in them. It's a pain to deal with, lol, but that's how it is. You might think there's plenty of value to offset this. You might not.

    3. @AA, "Could you be requested to do away with your emotions? It'd be a reasonable request, but unlikely to be complied with. "

      I've been told in the past a few times, for example when i felt pangs of jealousy, or had some other emo outburst, that I needed to "work on that" lol... I think I did, I learned to control it a little and perhaps care less, by reframing my perspective on things, rationalizing the FWB thing > "it's non commital... welcome to the adult world."

      But I keeps conflicting in my head: Yes, he's right, and being able to do so will benefit me, vs the more sarcastic voice "sure, would be handy for you, wouldn't it."

      @Bella Donna "Let us know how it goes"
      There hasn't been any contact the past few days... Except his "I'm so happy photo" on Facebook, and "Look, I'm online super often now, while I wasn't, I hate using messenger" ... Haha, I disconnected that. I just found that i was obsessing more about it than I should. I like my peace of mind!

      As for how it goes...
      I wish things would have gone different... But I realize that if I were to continue things, I'd always be the one giving in.

      Also, I think continuing things wouldn't leave room to start a real relationship with someone else. If that were the case, I'd consider it... I see his value, I enjoy bantering with him, I love his random sense of humor, and yes, I believe in some way that he may care.

      However, it leaves little room for "me as I am" ... Learning is good, but being able to be what you are, is good as well.

      When I left my long term relationship, few years back... I wrote down what I had... And what I wanted. What I had wasn't bad, so if I don't go for what I want, why did I leave in the first place?

      This week has been confusing... guilt mixed with determination, seeing the truth, doubting the truth...
      I'm a rational person... It will pass. But I feel selfish for thinking that way right now.

    16. I reckon neurotypicals are just as utilitarian in relationships as sociopaths. We have nice emotional wrappers around it, though. Ultimately, we don't invest in relationships we don't receive a perceived benefit from. We don't invest in ANYTHING we don't antipate a benefit from. Another difference, though, is that connection is more of a perceived benefit for neurotypicals than sociopaths.

      Everyone switches social alliances when it's beneficial to do so, be that in romantic relationships, sporting teams, factions in politics or work, you name it. Nature of the beast.

    Contrary to what the professional looking over my shoulder is attempting...

    People are not in need of fixing. You can train or educate, teach and learn some coping tactics, but even with all the best instruction, they will be the same person. Just with a improved facade.

    If you cannot exist with who they are, it is betterrible to exist apart. More likely the changer will be affected more the the target.

    1. I wouldn't anyone to change, but I do expect from close friends that at least they'd be considerate about things that hurt me or bother me.... But in this case, that's probably too much asked for, and probably the line I should draw for myself.

      If someone would tell me straight up they are bad at empathy, then that's fine... I miss the ball often, myself. But blame shifting and turning things around is a choice, and one I don't agree with.

      I've been very confused this week... Wondering if I am overreacting, seeing things that aren't there, or if perhaps I am reading the wrong reasons... Going over the past events over and over again though, rationally, I come to the same conclusion every time: This is not how friends go on about eachother (in my mind that is)

      I'm worried I leave him behind disappointed: Another one that shut the door on him. At the same time, I am sort of believing he has been planning this exit, having perhaps found someone "easier" and more fun... Since I'm rather inhibited and ask many questions. He often told me I am weird, and how other people are usually "easier" than I.

      Ah well... we'll see how it goes I guess. It's just I dislike open endings...

      I felt he was still playing a game with me via social media... So I disconnected us from there.

      I owe him a bit of change ... I'm planning to mail it to him. I will mail it in a way he will have to sign for it ... Which means he'll have to go to the post office to pick it up. He won't know it comes from me till he arrives at the post office, I'm sure he'll be annoyed about it, which I find a bit pleasing, but hey, I dont want to be in debt, and also... I want to make sure the item arrives, unlike some of my messages... :P

      A real key is to challenge his narrative. Trust your own judgement and the person you are. Stay grounded in that. From there, you can listen to feedback from others and grow in ways that align with who you are.

    1. I love poetry haaha and playing on words...hidden meanings of things..one poem can take on a million different meanings depending on who is reading it and their mood at that time..and the poem's meaning can also change later on when their mood changes..

    5. I could never tire of that Bell...leaves just turn me on far too much.
      Enjoying the attention jubblies? The Green BellEnd Show...sounds like a sexually transmitted disease, though an STD would probably be more entertaining than watching you two try and buddy up.
      Why don't you invite it (Green, that would be you) to your blog, not only then would your followers double, but we wouldn't be obliged to read you twos piss exchanges.

      Failing that, put your tits back up, least then we can forgive you for the mundanity.
      Actually, scratch that, it's painful enough how up yourself you are as is.

      Hi! Nice to be back cheers BellEnd, I've missed you two.

      (Please BellEnd, accept the grammatical mistake as intentional)

      Hey Ve...screeeeech screeeech

    6. Ha!!! I can always tell when you're responding with the amount of time it takes for you to articulate your idiotic responses lol. BTW my tits are up, try deleting my pic as your background image on your computer than you won't have to stare at such beauty ;) than maybe you can concentrate on your replies and typing instead of rubbing one out all day to your new obsession

    7. ***filing my nails*** must be typing again....**yawns** hurry hurry before you lose my interest

    8. I can't even enjoy making fun out of you, because you're too dumb, that's not even an arguement BellEnd, I don't have a computer, let alone a screensaver, I just have a hand drawn A4 sheet of you and your chest, and I take it with me everywhere.
      My kids can't wait for us to marry.

      Green, please step in and take this mong back, you've fuck all personality yourself, so she can keep up with you easily, if you start losing her, just screech or head butt the table repeatedly, she'll notice you eventually.

      And the articulation point dear, as you well know, was mine, spit firing remember Chesty? You're most welcome to steal my personality and pass it off as your own cherub, but maybe not straight back at me?

      Does it cost you a fortune in Rubix Cubes? Building blocks? How many times have you seen Rainman?

      I do apologise if this articulation has gone on a bit babes, wanna jam with me?....

    9. Oooooh between your misspellings and run on sentences I can't make out a word you're saying lol. I think the blood flow is else where that's ok love. Sadly, I'm bored again. Maybe you should go play with your "sub" hahhahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahhahahahah

      Delete
    10. "you've fuck all personality yourself" .... Must be because i'm not a native speaker, but I really don't know what that means.

      And followers? I have followers? ... Oh dear...

    12. Haha very comical and entertaining lol. Fun to play with but than he gets too upset and starts rambling and than it's impossible to continue lol..Poor thing

    13. Very limited vocabulary too smh sad. Always repeating the same insults, never anything new lol...like a child stomping and screaming for attention.

      Delete
    14. No Green [rolls eyes], you don't have followers, but it's not your fault don't stress, you're not a native as you say.
      Does that make you like, American then or something?

      Comes to something when a goddamn Yank accuses you of not making sense.
      Bloody foreigners.
      Bugger off back to your own country, you know how you lot don't like to be scalped.
      You're new, or "Green" (very clever Green, very clever), so you can be excused, but this BellEnd you're trying to hug, well, she's dumb. She looks for people like you, Alcopops, and sniffs around them, makes sure she tells them all her shot whilst pretending to listen to theirs (whilst really, she's just waiting to say about her and the toss rag married bloke stringing her along again), but you're pretty lost on here too in fairness, so hold hands and drop shit one line comments in here and there.
      Comprendè?
      Capiché
      unterschtant?

      Now, screech with us Green...

  30. Hahahahaha, can you do that roll eye again?
    If i were American, odds would be high i'd still be a native speaker... Or am i seeing that wrong?
    None of these:
    Comprendè?
    Capiché
    unterschtant?
    Are in my native language... But I understood them all... (Also very clever?)

    So green, and not native, but perhaps a bit naive...
    But what are alcopops? ... (If I sniff, it smells like entertainment...)

    I do got worried about "My blog"... must be my paranoid tendencies i recently developped, ha!

  33. [rolls eyes] Green, I'm happy to entertain you, the language barrier is still easier than those screech intermingled autistic ravings.

    Green, in my native land, is a term for, new, as in "green labour".
    I'm gonna hazard from your bloc speech that you're Eastern European?


    Bella, relax now Jugs, don't get jealous, I'm not going to steal your new friend. Go take some selfies, pour, buff your boobs up, turn the music up to drown the screeching and wait patiently whilst the grown ups talk.

  34. Awwww... Thanks for entertaining me, it's just what I needed!

    Well, where I come from, western Europe that is, we also have this green thing for new. And more specific "green behind the ears" ... Whilst looking up if I now gave away my mothertongue (that sounds weird), I noticed I didn't and that there's even a song titled "Green behind the ears"

    And what's that blog you keep referring to? Where can i find it? Lol!

    BD you make me laugh! (and yes, you too, Swop)

  37. I give up, it's ok pathetic, Bella, you're just a twat babes, it's not even fun, sorry Green, I'll have to leave you to the autistic "raising" attention whore sorry, good luck, doubt you'll be around for long either once you get sick of her.
    Bella, please go somewhere else love, maybe your kids room, spend sometime pretending to be a mother instead of trying to be clever and sociopathic...you're neither, just irritating and unfunny.
    Why don't you do the spaz a favour and the rest of us on here, and die hun?
    Please, you're just boring.

    Don't reply because I'm not reading anymore, I loved this site, loads of us did, and they're virtually all gone, and I'm afraid it's because of boring cunts like you Bell, you're a prick love.

    Yes yes, go on, lolololol or whatever intellectual mush you perceive as banter, you haven't got it, please go away, just, die babes.

  39. Green, incase you hadn't noticed, I'm not interested in pseudo intellectual psycho babble, I have no concern for appearing all clever and shit, I come here purely for the entertainment, if it's wise words and insight you're after, I'd recommend North, Puppy Basket and of course, A, but with the exception of North, they rarely make appearances anymore (take note BellEnd). I prefer to call people names and make fun of their kids, I have severe sociopathic traits (or, severe sociopathy as the wife doth call it), and am very easily bored of the Bella types, as are the other frequent flyers on here, so you won't get much wise words from me, unless, like me, you find 'cunt' and 'screech' wise? If so, I could be the one for you after all you screechy cunt you.

    Mothertongue? Chermany??? Das ist einen Cherman shnaying nein??!!
    Ich nichta lichta ze Chermans.

    That's not true, you lot are alright, mostly, if somewhat gull able when it comes to the Austrians

    Hey Bella...ah fuck it, can't even be bothered to screech now. Hope your happy [stamps feet]

  42. There you go Bell, good work girl, I'm done. I'm just so sad to see comments from you like "the mommy comment made him cry", did you make a mommy comment?
    It's so disappointing Bell, take a look at the comment numbers on the threads these days, compare them with this time last year babes, see the difference? Ask Rainman to show you the difference in the little numbers and the old big numbers love, that's the way it's gone now, and it's stuff like you that's done it Bella, it's pretty sad.
    I'm gonna miss it here, but not like this, this is shit.

    North, Vegas, Puppy Basket, urgh...Ukan, spazzy kat, Mr Hyde...and of course, my darling A [fist bumps], been a pleasure folks

    Peace out

    Bye Vegas :(

    1. Guess I didn't add much to it. Was a bit caught up with the welcome distraction.

      As for me... There has been a few back and forths on the app where we met (an "anonymous posting stuff into the world" kinda app) ... Some seemed playful, some seemed angry / intimidating. Like openly complaining about his stalker on the app (while I'm sure it's quite the opposite way, lol) ... That's what the block function is fore I'd say.

      I'd say he's searching for an opening, seeing if I'm still responsive.

      I'm not sure what the intention of it is, but I'm good with how things are for now... It gives me time to make up my mind about what I want for myself - keep the contact or loose it.
