Mistakenly thinking a person is a sociopath.

I decided to make a post on this forum because I feel like I'm losing my mind. A ton of research has me believeing that a sociopath has taken advantage of a mental problem I had. But I wonder just because it seems that way maybe I making a big mistake. I'm hoping people on this forum can shed some light on whats going on. I've created a mental health blog so as to not clutter up this forum I'll just post you the links here of my last four posts. I hope this will give you a feel for whats going on.:

There's a shitload more to this story. Maybe there is not enough information given so far so as to be able to make any kind of assessment. I feel that this person opportunistically took advantage of my mental problems in order to gain drama and attention for themselves with zero regard as to what it could do with someone suffering from mental illness. But how can that be? I mean they work in the entertainment industry. I find it fasinating how many people seem to be under their control on Twitter as they befriend complete strangers and carry on with them like they are best friends. I worry that if I'm right that someone else might get hurt in the future as later I almost died and I worry they will come across another person like me and do the same things.

Where's the TL;DR? Nobody's going to read this wall of text.

I skimmed through one of your links and, as it seems, you're overthinking it. She had no reason not to be gentle and chatty with anyone online, in fact, that's what most people do on such social networking sites. However, when you revealed your feelings for her she freaked out. Not only because that's what women do, but because anyone would freak out by a proposal coming from a stranger. Nevertheless, she laughed at your quirk and decided to continue to maintain friendly relationship. She's not a sociopath nor has any hidden agenda. Get over it.

That it's normal to continue a relationship with someone online who is obsessed with you and that you tried a few times to end it but she didn't want that seems odd don't you think?  There is so much more to this I haven't even scratched the surface.  But I'll try and take your advice and get over it.  Thx for taking the time to respond.

Staying friends with someone who is obsessed with you, online or not, doesn't mean they are a sociopath. Maybe they just like the attention, or maybe they just want to be friends and kind of over look that aspect of you to maintain the friendship, or maybe you are sending them thousands of dollars and they want that money flow coming in. Unless the later is true, they are a perfectly normal human being maintaining a perfectly normal friendship. Everyone has friends who want to be with them, doesn't mean they have to cut those friends out of their lives. Plus, it's the internet. It's harmless - most of the time.

Yes maybe that's all it is; she simply liked the attention and didn't understand just how mentally gone I was.  Thx Learning for your post.

As Learning pointed out, there's nothing wrong with that. But maybe there's something else that bothers you?
