Sociopath Community

by Medulla

 I suppose one could replace "sociopath" with "asshole" or "self-declared master of the universe" or "president of imaginary lands" or "fagg0rt" or anything else in the OP, same diff really.

I discovered I was a 'self-declared master of the universe' the moment I realized I could easily manipulate other people. So... from birth.

 Huh? Do labels only exist if they are in the DSM?

 Psychiatric labels, yes.

 Sure, but as I already said, the OP said nothing about a "clinical" diagnosis, hence irrelevant in the context.

Third time's a charm maybe?

 Nope. Third time is not a charm. Who told you that bunch of bullshit.

 Oh but that's not a label that actually exists, right??? Because it's not a clinical label?? So you can't "realize" that you are "self-declared master of the universe" according to you, riiiiiight?

Thrill Kill: "Fuck you guys! I'll make my own DSM, with Blackjack, and Hookers! In fact, forget the DSM!"

Wrong. I take it you haven't read the new DSM.

'Self-declared master of the universe' is a genuine clinical label.

 Lol, I laughed.

But you really cannot handle being wrong, can you. It's really too bad, because being able to is one of the criterias for "Real Master of the Universe", you know, as opposed to the imaginary kind.

 I don't have to 'handle' being wrong, when I'm never wrong, darlin'.

Since clarity is necessary, perhaps it is the lateness of the hour, I'll rephrase this.

You think you know who you are, if that means anything to you, and then you read a few books about sociopaths take a few tests and start to put the pieces together that everything you seem to be is what those people out there call a sociopath, regardless of any diagnostic category (they change a little every revision anyway and most are incomplete).  No child, no four year old, no ten year old is going to know they are a sociopath.  The DSM is hardly a reading choice among 15-year-olds even.  But they will know they are different.  They will know they like or cannot refrain from doing things that either get them into trouble or they know are unacceptable by most people and that others don't do and tell them not to do.  The point of my question is when you finally put you and your thoughts and behaviours together and see that it is the same thing a sociopath is, or pretty damned near, how do you accept this?  What do you do next?  (Take notice that the questions are addressed to sociopaths, if you're not one, move along please and save the space for other commenters).
