Sociopath Community

 i already have ;)

 whilst that may be true, i was pointing out that a lack of pedophillic traits doesn't make someone exempt from NPD, including alter

What are you talking about? Sheath your claws, woman.

I'm not giving you loaded answers, I'm giving you objective ones. As a person who has spent countless hours indulging in philosophical debates, I have come to realize that "winning" is always a matter of perspective, and that it is as unlikely that I would get another argumentative know-it-all (you know, the kind of person who enjoys such debates) to capitulate upon their views as it would be for me to yield to theirs. :P

 i can't..they nick me often, literally like knives.

do you think Mee can be persuaded?

 Ukan, his wife, and "a friend" do not make for an overwhelming majority, puppet.

I am not preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love... I do not believe that I am special to the point of being superior to all others (I have a rather balanced view of my own strengths and weaknesses) I am not concerned about how the company I keep will cause me to be perceived, excessively preoccupied with my physical appearance, or under unrealistic delusions concerning my intellectual capacity (I am good at some things, not others)

I do not require excessive admiration to feel good about myself. I enjoy having my ego stroked, as I am definitely narcissistic- but I don't need it to function: I have been in many positions which have required me to show humility. I am not envious of others, nor do I particularly believe they are envious of me.

All of these are traits associated with clinical NPD.

By contrast, I have a lot of the features associated with psychopathy, including the traits I mentioned in my first reply to Meek. I am a thrill-seeker, somewhat reckless, with a history of antisocial behaviour. I have the emotional features associated with it, including shallow affect, blunted empathy, impulsivity, a manipualtive character, and high levels of aggression. As a teen, I was clinically diagnosed with a psychological disorder that is very often related to sociopathy:

"In a paper that is now 11 years old Distinct Contributions of Conduct and Oppositional Defiant Symptoms to Adult Antisocial Behavior : Evidence From an Adoption Study Douglas R. Langbehn, MD, PhD and colleagues presented their study of 197 adopted children a quarter of whom had a biologic parent with sociopathy. They concluded:It seems plausible that a genetically transmitted
liability to sociopathy might manifest earlier in life as the personality-like symptoms of ODD rather than the behaviorally oriented criteria for conduct disorder. After all, it is difficult to conceive of a gene for stealing cars. On the other hand, genetic influences on temperament leading to typical ODD features do not seem so far-fetched."

My dad did prison treatment for a violent, capital felony. if there is a genetic component, it is likely I inherited these traits from him.

Those are some reasons why.

When I first came here, I went on a process of self-discovery and I purged a lot of shit... long winded autobiographical stuff that writing out helped me to grasp and understand. To be sure, that was self-centered, and narcissistic. But I understand myself much more, now. At this point, I'm here primarily to amuse myself.

I hope that answers your question.

 Of what?

 yielding to yours, you useless drunkard ;)

i only ask because your participation in the back and forth would suggest you did think he could be persuaded, based on what you've said.

Drunkard!! Pft. where I live it is the middle of the day, you shameless hwooah. :P

At any rate, it doesn't matter. I answered what I thought were valid questions, and ignored everything else. I didn't even address his last post, in which he did, in fact, capitulate to my views. :)

He said, and I quote: "I've changed my opinion of you... but I'll be watching".

(OOuuuu!! Lol!)

But whatever. In my example, I was referring to philosophical debates, specifically. Meek can think I'm the bloody tooth fairy, for all I care.

 So... the victory is mine!

At first I ridiculed your claim of not caring about what others think of you. And now you admited that you had argued with me only to change my perception (second paragraph). LOL! You even stopped dissecting me...

i'm sure you were.also, this. if you don't want to watch the whole clip the best bit is at about 2 minutes in
