Obviously the old forum still had it's fair share of trolls, wannabes and curious lot but I'm starting to wonder if there's even one psychopath left here.
Regardless of your mental condition, though you now know my preference, I would like to know what your childhood was like.
I'm especially interested in the way your parents treated you, the way you treated peers and authority figures, traumatic events, amount of friends and any other information that you feel like sharing.
Fair enough.
Had a quiet youth, so to speak. I was usually well behaved. It was very important for my parents that I behaved like this, because my father would frequently have my family meet important buisiness relations. I had a strange relationship with my mother. She acted like a typical mother and I would allow it, but I would never call her Mom. I would just call her by her normal name, so my parents both decided that I should call my dad by his name too . People still ask me why I call my parents by their names. I had a lot of friends whom I played with and I never had any problems with making them even though I had some odd mannerisms. I always felt distantiated from my normal life and the people in it though, and from time to time I felt like life was just slipping past me without me even noticing. I would feel like I was living with a constant fog in my head, but felt unable to do something about it.
I started experimenting with sex at a very young age, but had no idea how things worked so it never really got to penetration. I guess this is a phase every child goes through. I was not very violent or angry, that phase I would enter after my 14th birthday.
That's everything I can think of for now.
My biological mom did crack while I was in her stomach. When I was born I was really severely neglected, and the government took me away from her. I was in foster care until I was 3. They didn't really let me play or interact with people much though becasue they thought I had down syndrome.
Then I was adopted by my family, and lived happily ever after :D
I have no idea if i'm normal or different. I have had best friends before, but when they leave I don't feel sadness. Reality for me is this moment, and if I choose to dwell on the past, I can make myself feel saddness or miss old times and stuff, but I can just as easily choose to not even consider it.
The present is pretty annoying too. I work to achieve my goals, and simply burn time and "exist" in what feels like a suspended state until I can go to sleep or work toward my goals again.
People seem pretty dumb, but sometimes I feel like they are no dumber than I. The difference is that I choose to see the truth, and ignore the emotions of the moment, and the emotions that come with realtionships.
My parents that adopted me said that-- since my foster parents thought I was retarted, they would sit me in a high-chair all day, and not let me play since it might be dangerous for me. Perhaps that resulted in me thinking a lot, and as a result that part of my brain developed more. So here I am. A thinker. My default state is just a tad bit depressed and dissatisfied with the state of the world.
Hurting people intentionally usually ends up hurting yourself in some small way, so generally it's not logically ideal to do so.
Better to not give people a reason to dislike or speak ill of you. We only have one name after all. I don't think it's wise to tarnish it. Specially if you have things you want to accomplish.
