Sociopath Community

Damn it! When I read the heading, I thought you were going to give me ideas. Crime? Doesn't have to be major. Just shoplifting, something I haven't done for years but it would stave off boredom. Going to protests. That works for a while. If I were younger, I would score some drugs.

Then don't. Who says you need a mask?

What's causing the boredom? What are some things you like to do, that might be able to cure that boredom?

Why is the lack of motivation a problem?

And as far as loneliness, what causes you to think about it?

Negative on the drugs and crime, went through that phase and ended up doing 6 months in rehab lol.

Hobbies help.

Are you implying that you don't wear one? 

I mean I start scuba diving over the summer. But stuff like that, the thrill always fades and leaves you wanting more. Same with everything else. 

Lack of motivation is a problem because I get myself into trouble without it. I've let my mask slip before, don't want to get in that situation again Lol. 

And I guess when I talk about loneliness I mean that I'm missing someone in my life to entertain me. Last year I met someone who had a similar mindset, they had a multiple personality disorder so it was hard to get bored of them, it's was nice to have someone interesting to converse with. I gradually let my mask slip around them, but after a while they wanted nothing to do with me. But anyways it was an enjoyable relationship, different from what I usually experience from manipulation, and I'm craving for another one. 

So perhaps maybe find ways of achieving that as a hobby? Maybe get a job that'll give you money to go scuba diving? Keep focused on that, and it can help. There are also things you can do at home in the mean time, like search for places to visit and do that at. See reviews and prices and such to know how much money you will need. Though more mundane hobbies can also be useful. Ever have an interest in writing? painting?

For me, motivation issues become problems when it comes to getting a job and meeting society's demands. This a problem for you? Or how so?

 I see. I find that when I have to wear a mask to associate with someone, I only want to be around them so long as I'm getting what I need from them. Their absence makes me feel anything but lonely, it makes me feel happier. Perhaps, you might need to find friends that you are able to be yourself around? That's something I still don't know how to do.

Some of need the mask for without it we wouldnt make it in society, The only way most of us will ever take the mask on and off would be in prison. I wish I could take my mask off, but if i did I would destroy everything I have built
