How did you find it? What were your first thoughts when you were on it? How long did you wait until you made your first post/engage in chat?
I found it following a retarded link from an article on sociopathy that seemed to be superficially made just so it could link to that place.
There are a lot of links to old sc that should be updated by someone so we get fresh blood tbh(enciclopedia dramatica sociopathy/psycopathy articles, wikipedia articles, etc...)
My first thoughts were "Exploitable!" when I saw people talking about someone giving someone else 500 dollars.
My first two posts were threads asking 'tf is up with rep and how much do I need to chat, to which xadem or trypt trolled saying -10000, Inq finally gave me rep and I'm grateful for that, and seeizurex tried to seem cool like one of the "in" guys and was somewhat edgy towards me.
My third post sarcastically mocked br for having wrongly matched a light green necktie to a light green suit in his wedding photos thread. Nobody caught on to it :'(.
it was early 2018, I was bored and depressed one night and I was toying with the idea that I might be a sociopath (spoiler, I'm not) I wanted to talk to someone so I googled "sociopath community" and, to my surprise, there was a forum with that exact name.
It was my first forum experience and oh boy I jumped in the deep end, I'd never used group chat before either but I started chatting straight away with tpg and delora, then met others like ed, tryp, xadem and koloss, that first night I was online for something like 16hrs chatting.
posts followed soon after but I wasn't really active in threads for a couple weeks I think.
I don't regret finding sc
I typed into google search "sociopath forum" or maybe even sociopath community I don't know.
I thought it was a funny oxymoron and was curious if it existed and wanted to lurk one to see just how charming and entertaining it would be
this curiosity began after the discovery of M.E. Thomas... as far as how I found that, I have no idea.
I used to research a lot of different psychiatric disorders or personality disorders and just read about them or watch videos, it's possible I found out about her through a youtube channel mentioning her now that I am jogging my memory I think that might of been it.
And I read what I could of her quotes... someone had listed her best quotes from her book not sure if it was on her blog or elsewhere, I just wanted to read what I could of the book for myself without having to pay...
I was curious. Immediately sensed bull shit, and narcissism lol and felt like it was a scam.
So I wanted to see what real "sociopaths" really had to say abut her and took to searching through the forums of the internet about the topic and as I thought it would be majority of the internet was in agreement with me, rejecting her bull shit and finding it laughable.
I was looking for that sort feedback when I was clicking on Luna's forum, regarding the topic of M.E. Thomas and I think a lot of people wound up finding this forum that way.
At the time I had a curiosity surrounding the topic of sociopathy and started to post topics pertaining to that, just out of interest in it. Like "how to break a sociopath" and things like that. Idk lol. Just enjoyed discussing that for whatever weird reason.
But yeah that was... maybe four years ago now. Hahaha I think it was in November of 2015 to be exact. When I registered.
