People With Psychopathic Traits Can't Smell As Well, Study Suggests

Does this apply to you guys? My sense of smell isn't very good but I always blamed it on allergies which make my nose run nearly all year.

Your sense of smell

I have no idea what my sense of smell is in comparison to other people. I don't go around asking other people if they smell certain things the same way I do.

What I have noticed though, is that I'm less disgusted by certain things than other people. I have a strong stomach. There aren't many things that disgust me.

(disgust is usually related to both sight and smell)

Your sense of smell

It partially applies. I have a rather keen sense of smell as I can determine if someone recently visited the lavatory, was smoking cigarettes, haven't ate properly, recently visited a gym or is using perfume from a reasonably wide range. Same applies for smoke, barbeque scent and so on. However, I often find it hard to differentiate various smells. Most flowers smell the same and so on. Moreover, I hardly ever smell a flower's scent from a distance and I have to stick my nose into it in order to sense anything.

Do you consider yourself a psychopath, mee? My sense of smell is terrible but I attribute that to an operation to fix a broken nose.

I don't think it is specifically related to sociopaths, some have very sense of smell and some others not. On my end, my sense of smell is quite bad, but what I smell I can easily and accuratly describe it.

I do indeed. However, unlike some people here, I don't try to live like a badass Hollywood psychopath, so I don't spend countless hours fantasizing about killing people and so on. Instead I measure the traits I exhibit with the ones related to this disorder and evaluate myself with a sharp mind.

How old are you, mee. Under 20 right? Wouldn't it be possible that you're just a numb teenager instead? I may be wrong. As a teen, I had conduct disorder, still do in a way, but it wasn't until later, into my early 20's until things took a serious turn for the worse and I'm still seeing and feeling the repercussions a decade later. I don't intend to discuss what went on in great detail but I did end up pleasuring lizzy, the queen of England, for a certain amount of time. Without going in great detail, mee...how was your childhood Bro? 

I was brought up by a drunk (step dad) and a crazie (mom) and was left to do what the fuck I wanted to. The step dad shot me once, point blank range right in between the eyes with a loaded pellet gun and the barrel just stopped an inch from the bridge of my nose. Fun times! Maybe he was getting me back for all the hassle I caused such as fires I started and drama I brought to the family home.

Real father broke my nose aged 2. Even better fun! 

P's, I don't consider myself a psychopath but do have traits.

Nice avatar, Mee. Reminds me of your old one.

Hehe. Actually, that's the reason why I picked it.

 That's a little dramatic, don't you think?

Fantasizing about murder has nothing to do with trying to live like a badass hollywood psychopath. While there are plenty of psychopaths that do fantasize about murder, I'm sure they don't go around thinking they're badass. I know I don't anyway.

According to a psychologist I once knew, violent fantasies are a kind of side affect of AsPD in combination with one's upbringing. That doesn't surprise me since (in the majority of cases) AsPD usually develops as a defense mechanism in an abusive environment. Though, it starts out as Oppositional Defiant Disorder in childhood, Conduct Disorder during the teenage years and AsPD as an adult.
