Is ME Thomas really a sociopath?

 

by Turncoat

Have you read her book?

 No, and when I come acrossed it in the library, I plan to. I don't have the money to spend on it.

First off, how do we know the person in the video is really M.E.? 

It could easily be an acquaintance of hers that's been paid a sum. She gets to keep her real self hidden, and she also gets more copies sold.

I personally think she's just an intelligent person who's seen a gap in the market. There's no big book from a person that's claimed to be a sociopath and written a book about themselves in such a way.

 

 Truth is, we don't know that it is her, and I've seen another video with someone claiming to be her, and the person looked different, the the video was mad blurry. She claimed she wanted to hide her identity so that she wouldn't be stalked. It was an RT interview. Honestly, I posted the video in part because I knew alot of you would appreciate it, as you like proving selfproclaimed sociopaths, to not be sociopaths. There's also a writer about sociopathy for Psychology Today, claiming the name ME Thomas. Who knows? 

Whether she is or isn't, I have to say, she's quite the entrepreneur having taken up that niche. It's a respectable feat. Though, her selfcontradictions many might say are evidence for ASPD, as they do tend to contradict themselves alot. Or maybe sociopathy and psychopathy don't exist, but are a label others apply because they react to people who don't act the way they do, or don't think the way that they do, to such an extreme that they either get labelled that, or are told that they are wrong about how they think or feel, or that they don't think or feel that way .

There's also an element of habit in lying. After one has already formed the habit of lying to conceal how one is, how does one avoid that habit when trying to be honest with others on how you are, when you know that you must always translate it into ways that they will understand?

You're right on all accounts, my dearest.

Isn't making the world favorable for one's self the goal of most organisms? Not just "sociopaths"? Brains are built with a pleasure/reward system. It's there for a purpose. I think most are inclined to take advantage of a situation. Some are more on the look out for it.

What a boring pile of cow shit.

And you're wrong.Sociopaths doesn't see the world for what it is,he just sees how he can make it favorable for himself.

So classic, good times.

Somewhere is a video about him raging about how terrible ASPD traits are. I'll see if I can find it again.

I condemn the use of labels, but not for that hipster "don't label me" bullshit. Each person is the center of a reality, their frame. Each person can react to the stimulus given and try to achieve the basic function of all life; survive and replicate. Following this, there are higher subfunctions like pleasure, love, acceptance etc, however if these needs are not met in some way a defense or coping mechanism is reached for. Some people who have mechanisms that prevent them from functioning in our real world are considered "ill". These cases vary as much as each human varies. Sure, we're similar, there are behavioral scripts, patterns and somewhat predictable nature but context and current stimulus is key. Every. Single. Context. Is. Different. Some labels fall down and psychotherapists recognize this, the DSM is corrupted, irrelevant, and "sociopaths" simply see the world for what it fundamentally is. Every reality is just another reality, just another existence. Do with it what you will, ignore, make "worse" (bad and good are arbitrary in existence) or make it "better". Face reality people.
