Sociopath Community

As long as it's not hypochondriasis.

Look at the bright side, at least it's not paranoid schizophrenia. That's a real head trip and a half.

I happened to find myself to have similiar thoughts and reactions in the book CONFESSIONS OF A SOCIOPATH, so I decided to take a online personality test. I know I am not naturally a sociopath but I do share some core characters like always wanna control others, really aggressive, lack of empathy, unforgiving of insults,(the part in book where Ms Thomas follows that janitor?? because he says something unpleasant or in an unpleasant tone echos strongly with myself). I plan on hostile revenge against others in a selective manner. Only those who I perceive to be threatening and malicious without object justification. I feign my charm too in order to function like a normal person but sometimes it is just so tiring and I just want to strip away all my fake smiles and stare at people with dead eyes (too). This kind of disorder might run in family because my uncle is a diagnsed psychopath and is on medication the whole life. My grandma ,when she was alive, had periodic peaks of hysteria.

I feel safe to confess here as it is paranoids' nature to think that any honest confession to others may be turned against them in the end.   

The finding of the test proved to be extreme paranoid personality disorder.  I am just happy that I find the source of my interpersonal difficulties . At some point reading the description of the result I felt paranoid personality disorder maybe sociopath taken to an extreme. not only do i feel lack of concerns of feelings of others, I interprete what they do as threatening and always on guard to take actions. 

 Hello X_W and welcome to the forum!

You do seem somewhat sociopathic, however you could be suffering from NPD. People with narcissistic personality disorder are very vengful, unforgiving of insults, empathy lacking control freaks. They are also rather paranoid.

Moving further, would you mind answering some questions to feed my curiosity? First of, how often do you fulfill your revenge plans? What made you buy the book?

I believe you can answer those questions without feeling too exposed. Also, you said you try to function like a normal person. Would that mean you don't feel normal? You mentioned your grandfather is on medication, what kind? I haven't heard of any medication to cure sociopathy, so I'm guessing it has to be something to manage his anger issues. Maybe you need that medication too? You could sneak some pills and give it a try if you want to overcome your problems.

 Just fuckin lol Mee.

 "I feel safe to confess here as it is paranoids' nature to think that any honest confession to others may be turned against them in the end.  "

It is a false sense of safety. Confessions here can, and will be used against you , so unless youre happy blurting your guts out all over the show, twould be prudent to learn a little before you do so. On this site , its not being paranoid, its being practical.

Your writing style reeks of troll though, I have to say . ......................

 I nominate Lycan to be the official welcoming commitee.

Hey, don't discourage our new friend! I think it's a good thing he decided to face his demons but it must be hard to do that alone. However, I do agree that he should take everything he reads here with a grain of salt.

Anyway, I'm willing to believe that X_W is not a decoy. He wrote quite a lot and even mentioned the book.

 eat dick.

 Shhh!! We've never had a bonafide paranoiac in the forum before. Someone like that in here represents a vast, untapped reservoir of comedic potential. It's bad enough we have to expose her to Jay's trussed up gold penis. If you tell her our M.O, she'll never come back!

 Agreed. How are we going to get more people to fuck with if you guys keep scaring them off?!?!
