In terms of psychology as we try to examine ourselves through introspection and similar unreliable methods, not only do we not arrive at truth, we change the impossible to comprehend truth. This blog is full of people thinking, "Am I a sociopath?" "Do I want to be a sociopath?" "Am I pretending to be a sociopath?" And so on. I probably was 25% of the way to crazy before I started reading this blog and every book I could find on sociopathology. Now I am pretty sure I am at 125% and gaining speed as I come into "dead man's corner." Perhaps this will be the last comment I ever post. I hope not. I am planning to go see the movie LUCY tomorrow night about a woman who .tricked into being a drug mule turns superhuman. Sounds like complete nonsense, but entertaining nonsense. I am not sure how to evaluate this blog on the scale of entertaining nonsense versus entertaining truth.

Similar to a belief that one is a messiah, genius or other figure--this "self diagnosis" is really just a manifestation of some other problem. You may benefit from professional psychiatric help. I'd suggest that you aren't qualified to diagnose yourself.<br /><br />(2) You know you are probably not a sociopath, but you've created this blog anyway. There are a variety of reasons why this could be the case. It could be simple attention-seeking; or it could simply be a work of fiction, or a form of roleplaying. The latter case might even be helpful (many people would benefit by exploring their "dark side" in a safe manner, such as writing a fictional blog).<br /><br />If I had to make a bet on it, I'd guess #2 is closest to the truth.Jonhttp://google.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-33852355349449021242011-01-22T20:46:21.300-08:002011-01-22T20:46:21.300-08:00Trying to wrap my head around this... you think yo...Trying to wrap my head around this... you think you might be a sociopath and are "concerned" about your potential diagnosis as a sociopath?

I've been...I've been wondering this myself. I've been diagnosed with everything from OCD to generalized anxiety (both because I refused to go to school, despite making excellent grades, and acted strangely when I was forced to do so). The psychiatrist who "treated" my "generalized anxiety disorder" with medication that has done absolutely nothing also voiced her opinion that I might have ADD, which is simply untrue. I thought for quite a long time that I might have Asperger's syndrome, because I do display a paucity of empathy, something that might be considered 'special interests', although they shift rapidly as I get bored, and intellectualize my way through social interactions since I don't really understand them. I now think that I might, in fact, be a sociopath, since I have chronic boredom (in spades), can be extremely charming when I so desire, and can read other people fairly easily, if through an intellectual rather than emotional process. I can't tell whether or not my sense of self-worth is grandiose, since I obviously think I'm very clever but then I've also been described as such by most people around me. I can intellectualize myself into and out of emotions rather easily, but when I examine my initial reactions they tend to be something along the lines of: <br />My mother: I just got a phone call-- your grandfather...just passed away. <br />Me: Oh...wow. Um. Are we still going to the play? <br />My mother: Of course not! <br />Me: Oh. (thinking: but...we knew he was going to die, and he's dead, so what can we do about it? I mean, he was nice, and I'll miss him, and Dad will be sad because both his parents are dead, but...not going to the play isn't going to change any of that). <br /><br />I told this to a friend, without describing my thought process, and she asked whether or not I was close to my grandfather. I asked how she defined close and she said, "Did you see him a lot? Did you like him?" and I said yes, and she gave me this look and said she thought I was a freak. <br />I've gotten that quite a bit lately, as I've been distracted and have taken less care in my social interactions, which do require quite a bit of effort. <br />Anyway, another friend of mine, who has Asperger's, told me very sincerely that she does not think I am a sociopath since I don't ruin people's lives and she doesn't believe I have a shallow affect. She then suggested I get diagnosed, but since I plan to work for the FBI, my immediate reaction was to deny, deny, deny, and claim that of course I don't really believe I'm a sociopath. <br />I will be seeing a psychologist over break in order to secure a letter to get me a single next year based upon my supposed anxiety and inability to adjust (crap-- I am unusually good at adjusting since I do it so very often), so we'll see how that goes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-50533620799258511592010-11-28T00:12:25.489-08:002010-11-28T00:12:25.489-08:00Don't do it.

It happened years ago, I was only 18, and I've been fighting to get rid of it for more than thirty years before finally succeeding a few years ago.<br /><br />However, it doesn't matter much that now I am officially not a psychopath, because there always many people who are willing to believe the negative before the positive, and I can easily say that this diagnosis has stigmatized me and made it close to impossible for me to create a decent living for myself in many ways (I do have a decent living now, but that is definitely no thanks to my youth diagnosis). It has quite plainly done me a lot of harm and continues to do so even with it not being official anymore.<br /><br />I live with the knowledge that this diagnosis being part of my past (which means it is still there, just not openly so) means it can jump up and bite me - and potentially ruin my life - at any time if circumstances happens to be of a certain kind of construction ... and should I be unlucky.<br /><br /><br />Perhaps the good news is that there is happening something in neuropsychological community and - not least - in the media and the fashion industries. In some groups of society sociopathy is trendy and becoming popular, we see it even among the commenting posters on this blog.<br /><br />Being a sociopath is associated with being adept at succeeding in social life, with being mentally tough skinned and thus being unlikely to easily be/feel hurt and incapacitated by harmful and/or humiliating experiences i life. Hence the recent taking to sociopathy is understandable.<br /><br />But this still reresents small minority, and among (forensic) psychiatrists and criminologists sociopathy is still a tool used mainly to label the persona non grata in society, way more than it is being used as a clear psychiatric diagnosis. It is a sociological description of a person's behavior first and a means to describe a person's personality or mental habitus only secondarily.Zhawqnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-86690993797835604922010-08-31T09:15:41.630-07:002010-08-31T09:15:41.630-07:00I was labeled sociopath as a child, but when a chi...I was labeled sociopath as a child, but when a child you can't diagnose one until they have matured. Now as a 26 year old woman I know I am one. I wasn't diagnosed as an adult, but I know I am. I was in the military, and discharged for a personality disorder that the military finds slightly threatening, and I have almost a zero percent chance of reenlisting (not that I wanted to). What I was diagnosed with was wrongly diagnosed. I was playing a game which in turn only hurt my paperwork. I didn't mind not staying in, I didn't even mind the label I was given, but the fact that a "professional" didn't even see what was right infront of his eyes gave me doubts on ever getting help for this disorder, or any disorder with documentation.<br /><br />I knew he could see through most of my sh!t, but it was fun playing that game. He outruled the personality disorders he thought I might have, and ended up with this one due to my lying about seeing and hearing things. I hesitated often to play a game, contort what he may have been thinking so that he'd have to start over. It got me out of the military, which was good enough for me.<br /><br />I recently, about a month ago tried to do this whole, getting help, thing. I wanted to hear what the educated folk would have to say(without the biased opinion of the military) and hear from their findings, but why? I just wanted to feed my ego by them proving something to me I knew all along. Once I was able to embrace my personality instead of using it as some kind of game, I was able to be more at peace with it. I too find myself wondering why I pretend so much with my interactions with people. Why am I trying to prove them that I can feel? Why do I go out of my way to pretend emotion when I should just be me? I have come to this realization after I started the same routine of mind games, lies, and manipulation with this new counselor. She was so intrigued by what I was saying, and for once I was being honest, she didn't know how to handle it. After the thrill of getting her where I wanted her was gone, I saw no point in seeing her anymore. She wasn't "good" enough in my opinion to help me.<br /><br />That comes to the topic though, why did I want to be properly diagnosed when I am fully aware of what is wrong with me, and see no problem in it. I am not physically harming anyone, and I haven't hurt myself. I genuinely believe I'm a nice person, so why do I want to get a proffessional title just to prove to others. I believe we know ourselves well enough to know what's going on with our personalities, as well as those who have been around PD's long enough. Getting the documentation nowadays for some reason makes everything more official. There is no point in gettin the help if I already know. Why do I or should I have to prove it to anyone?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-51197867193172113842009-12-26T22:45:31.153-08:002009-12-26T22:45:31.153-08:00Recently I've been wondering whether or not to...Recently I've been wondering whether or not to try to be diagnosed.<br /><br />For me it was because I would get the legitimacy that so many others don't, thus making me superior.<br />As part of the same thought, it also is because I am so sick of people calling themselves a sociopath without them know what it's like to not have their empathy, feelings of love, all that rubbish.<br />Most of these mentally weak people would crumble under the strain of this.<br /><br />Plus I suppose another main attraction would be if I could get prescribed something to help.<br />More help with aggression rather than wanting to feel stronger emotion for other humans, as I have an extremely short fuse, even with small things, so I end up "seeing red" and hurting myself in the process, quite often.<br /><br />But after reading online, I have noticed how often sociopaths get persecuted by people that are scared of them.<br />So I think, for now at least I should not.<br /><br />Suppose at least I know I can be fully honest when I say that I don't feel remorse, guilt, pity.<br /><br />Off topic, the funny thing is that I've know I'm different since I was 7/8.<br />One of these things in school asking how we feel.<br />I was fine with the quesions until it asked what I've felt guilty about.<br />It hadn't struck me until then that I had never felt guilt, but at the same moment I almost instantaneously managed to make up something from observing the other children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
