Sociopath Community

Self-obsessed, and in constant need of external validation. Textbook narcissism- which does not preclude ASPD.

How did you react when you witnessed your mother being abused, and how did she take it out on you? How did you respond when she took it out on you? And what makes you sure you weren't born that way, if you claim to have never sought to bond with anyone? Do you think this was a direct result of what you regularly witnessed as a child?

You've over five thousand posts in, and still trying to convince people of your disorder. Of course you don't socialize as much in real life as you do on the internet, you're too busy trying to convince people you don't even know that you have something wrong with you.

Hyper asked me about my traits, so I told her. That does not equal me trying to convince anyone. I simply responded to the question as asked.

I don't see why mentioning them is such an issue to you.

I believe it was mentioned in the book written by M.E. Thomas that this forum is a place for Sociopaths, Psychopaths, Narcissists, Machiavellian's, Trolls, and the empaths that love and hate them to talk (I am paraphrasing there). I am not a Sociopath, but my mindset and real world behaviour is definitely Machiavellian. Most people on this forum are likely not diagnosed Sociopath.

Your joke was made invalid by your ignorance. 

I am completely normal

I feel as though I have made that very statement. WEIRDDDDDDDD

Watching my mother get abused didn't really affect me.

Being abused by my mother made me angry and resentful towards her. I wanted to hurt her back.

The biggest impact abuse had on me was that it made me aware of what some people are really like behind closed doors. That you can't trust anyone. If the people you depend on to care for your welfare can't be trusted, then who can you trust...

I'm not entirely sure I wasn't born this way. I blame my upbringing though, because everyone's upbringing shapes their behavior and personality to some degree and this is how mine shaped me.

Not wanting to bond with people could be a result of what I witnessed as a child, but I didn't even bond with my mother as a baby, before I even knew what abuse was and I know that because my mother has always felt more like an acquaintance to me than a mother. My mother would agree that there has never been any bonding between us.

I think you should ask your mother what she feels about it.

She could have had battered woman syndrome or Post traumatic stress or been alcoholic or depressed.

My Mom was an alcoholic depressed woman that could not show love in a normal way.

I like to think of you as 'Thrill Kill ordered'. You are a very unique and very special individual. It is not your fault that good and meaningful society has no place for you.

My mother doesn't have PTSD. I'm pretty certain of that. She was an alcoholic for awhile, but I can't remember when that started. She's never had depression though as far as I'm aware.

My mother thinks the reason there has never been any love between us is because I've always been cold and distant towards her.
