Sociopath Community

Your conclusion wasn't simply about my mother not being a psychopath. You assumed I want some meaningful relationship with her because you think I'm weak and in need of help, which is a bunch of bullshit. Taking advantage of someone doesn't mean that at all. The fact that it's my mother is no different than if I were to take advantage of anyone else.

I've had good reason for thinking my mother was a psychopath. She's stolen things from her workplace, she can be manipulative occasionally and she seems emotionless most of the time. I'm not even sure if she is capable of love because I know she married her current husband for his wealth and I've certainly never felt any love from her, but I've never felt love anyway (not from or for anyone).

Her recent insecurities have made me question whether or not she's a psychopath at all. she's been betrayed in the past, so her fears are justified, but I doubt a psychopath would fear betrayal. A sociopath might though.

How do you feel about it?

When I lend money to people, if they don't or can't pay back willingly, it messes up the relationship.

I've had people turn around and blame me for using them when in fact they were using me,

just to justify breaking things off cuz they couldn't pay me back and felt bad. So it really FU things up.

It is better to give unconditionally limited by what you can give and take without any expectations so

nothing goes wrong. Any conditions that can't get met risk skewing the relationship where people act weird!

Better to keep finances to professional arrangements, with collateral. Very few people I know can

do this with friends and family without "getting weird" when things go wrong. For that it is best to stick to charity or don't give.

I only have 2-3 friends where loans stayed short term and got paid back with no issue. the rest were disastrous.

Thrill, you are weak.  Your weakness is your laziness.  You live on the dole, for all intents.  You rent by the week, how good can those accomodations be?  AsPD you might be, but a sociopath you're not.  You're content with with being what little you are.  What power do you have?  None.  You're an "Internet tuff guy"... lots of talk with little action.  You spend the majority of your life pump up this persona you've built on PD website forums.  You're a joke.

Again, I wasn't speaking so much about money... actions, deeds done, service rendered.  

First of all, your perception of me as weak does not equal reality. I think you know that too, but would rather call me weak because of your own negative feelings towards me. Just because I don't have a regular job, doesn't mean I sit on my ass all day doing nothing. There are still things I have to do, including home-schooling my daughter 5 days a week.

Secondly, I'd rather live on the government's money than be a slave to a job where I'm told what to do and how to do it. I don't enjoy working and I especially don't like having to work for other people.

And in regard to my accommodations... Maybe where you are, rent is paid by the month. That's not how it is where I'm living. I don't know anyone here in Australia, who is paying rent, that doesn't pay rent by the week. The real estates here even advertise places for rent where the advertized rental is shown as a weekly amount, so why you think my accommodations could be any worse than anybody else's simply because I pay my rent weekly is beyond me.

I don't think you're in any position to judge my life or who or what I am. It's my life, not yours and if I'm content with it (and for the most part I am), then that's my business, not yours. So, how about worrying about your own life instead of being so concerned with mine when it has nothing to do with you.

As for being a sociopath... You don't believe I am one? That's fine by me. I don't give a fuck whether you think I'm one or not. I personally don't believe you're one either.

Before I bought my first house, I paid rent by the month. If your rental property is managed by a rental agency in Australia, monthly payments are standard. However, private landlords may manage their rental payments differently. I only ever rented one property, so I wouldn't know.

But Thrill, one thing does confuse me here: you've stated previously that you have ambitions and that you're competitive. How does your current lifestyle fit within those parameters?

Thank you for clarifying.

I don't feel obliged to repay anyone for debt I've accrued in such a fashion. To be honest, I've never even considered myself to have such debts, though I probably do. I rarely do anything for myself other than study and train. I can't remember the last time I paid for anything other than my mortgage (my name's on the deed of the house and it's going to stay there). I don't even usually have to make my morning cup of coffee unless my fiance happens to have left the house before I've awoken. My mother raised me to prioritize my training and my study above all else. I did no chores as a child, and I do none as an adult. My fiance and I have housekeepers and my fiance does the rest of the chores.

Outside the house, people always do shit for me because I expect them to. I've had professors wipe my deadlines for entire semesters. My gardener throws in extra services for free because I take the time to chat to him. I chatted up the girl serving me at a bar I discovered the other night and she put my drinks on the house for the evening. If you're kind to people who're providing services to you, you'll often get more than you pay for.

Basically, in a zombie apocalypse, I'd be screwed unless I managed to secure support for myself. I don't mind admitting that I don't even know how to fold bedsheets correctly. Let's hope that in the aforementioned apocalypse, I turn out to be damned good with a knife, since I've never had to take care of myself before.

No, they're not. At least, not in New South Wales and Queensland anyway. I've lived in a lot of different places here in Australia and rent was always paid weekly through the real estate, not monthly. Maybe it's different in different states though. My sister lives in Victoria and she pays rent by the month.

However, private landlords may manage their rental payments differently.

Yes, that's true.

But Thrill, one thing does confuse me here: you've stated previously that you have ambitions and that you're competitive. How does your current lifestyle fit within those parameters?

I live in the here and now, so it's interesting that you're claiming I have ambitions. There are things I'd like to do, sure, but I haven't made any actual plans, so I wouldn't call them ambitions. My primary focus is usually on whatever is happening right now.

I am very competitive in games and sports, which fits very well with my current lifestyle. I'm not working, so I have a lot of time on my hands to do those things.

What about you. What do you do?

Fair enough. If you ever wish to get away from Valium and Codeine, exercise is an excellent source of relief from the long-term withdrawal symptoms. Should you consider a withdrawal program in the future, I'd also recommend Valerian Forte. It's a herbal supplement that acts in a similar way to Valium, so it should help you sleep if you suffer from rebound insomnia.

I recently returned to gymnastics, though when I begin studying again in March that'll have to take a back bench. I took a five-year hiatus from the sport, but apparently, the fundamentals of this sport are such that once you've attained them, you never lose them.

What sport/s are you playing at the moment?
