Sociopath Community

Yes; over 25, sorry pedos out there.  It shows in my general deficit in the large degree of asocial tendencies, but there’s definitely avoidant and paranoid flavor.  The disinterest in people on the whole, having to usually manufacture empathic responses or consciously try to engage.  I’ve adapted to function in society, but enough so I don’t starve or whatever.  Seeking psych help was at the behest of the few people I actually live with or interact with, because I saw almost all their problems with me as them and not me (immune to criticism or praise).  I could never understand why they cared so much.  Eventually, the conflict was unbearable enough to consider I’d at least appease them by trying therapy, etc.

There’s probably lots of things I really am not aware of either, which I have come to understand was a component to the problem(s).

I know a lot sounds maybe like NPD, but I care about myself only slightly more than other people.  It also sounds like someone on the spectrum, too, but my social skills are there enough to get by; it’s more about lack of effort than anxiety or whatever.  I understand social cues but find them annoying or an inconvenience, etc.

Schizoid seemed most fitting, but this is according to one therapist/psychologist.  I’ve had other diagnoses: ADHD and anxiety, etc.

oxytocin makes you more aggressive if you are male

 From what I have read, it tends to have the effect adrenaline has to its own area of triggers: amplifying certain preconditioned behavior and physiological responses.  Oxytocin promotes in-group bonding and out-group rejection/aggression.  In males it promotes hierarchical harmony, while in females it is typically responsible for maternal aggression and offspring recognition, etc.

That sounds terrible why would you want this?

 In my experience, it’s neglect and such.  You might classify it as abuse, probably, I guess.

 Yes, actually, two weeks in I’ve had oddly affectionate thoughts and concerns for people.  Normally, these concerns are seen “from afar” — cognitively noted, not felt — but now it comes about with some natural quality to it.  It’s subtle and hard to articulate; might be lack of experience thinking this way.

It's also tied to genetics isn't it? A lot of cases report a schizoid or schizophrenic parent.

 Yes, actually.  My mother was actually adopted, but found birth/blood family later in life.  Turns out there was some schizophrenia on the female side of the family, among other things.
