Sociopath Community

by hypercube

From what I'm reading now, the defining characteristic of BPD is "fear of abandonment."

Turn that into "anger at losing control of the other person's affection" and you have sociopathy.

But in general, I think the two are opposite. One seems focused on self-destruction, the other seems focused on destruction of others.

For whatever it's worth, I was diagnosed as BPD as a teenager and reading those two lists I relate to the same things on both.  I'm not suicidal or paranoid like a borderline, and I'm not sadistic or actively destructive like a sociopath. 

But the parts about feeling empty and having no remorse are the same to me. The parts about changing sense of self and deceitfulness/manipulation are the same to me. The parts about impulsivity are the same on the list itself.

 

Disclaimer I don't really believe in this sort of "diagnosis" as anything more than a potentially useful paradigm.

 Don't worry about it: most of us have some of the traits of both disorders. I'm glad you didn't get bogged down by the diagnosis: I'd be quite wary of anyone who'd diagnose a teenager with a personality disorder.

was the 'whore' (you know which one) borderline?

Thank you for saying that (:

If my eldest son was an adult, he'd be the perfect example of a socio-borderline. Totally emotionally unstable and walking to the pub today, he says to me "Dad, if you got hit by a car, it's ok you know because I think I know how to get to the pub from here." I laughed my fucking ass off!

What he said, reminded me of this xD

It's funny how you just tried to justify your son's comment by claiming he has mental health issues, when it's more likely that you just suck as a father.

Clearly your son doesn't care if you live or die, which goes to show how insignificant he thinks you are.

Slimey son probably has ass burgers (aspergers) too.

Ooo, here's the forum Jack Russell right on cue Xd Tk, as always, you're insults cut like a rusty bread knife. They are weak and pathetic and they show your age. You should stick to documenting your delusions because comedy ain't your thing honey bon. Go away, work on some new material and get with the times. You're getting left behind here  ;)

Same difference xD

 Rusty knives do the most damage - they leave a festering, infected wound.
