mine dont know shit
My daughter suspects I am. She's brought up the subject on two occasions.
The first time I told her, "It's just a label" and left it at that.
The second time I told her that she should stop concerning herself so much with labels.
We didn't discuss that, so I couldn't say. I can only assume that my anger, lack of emotion (by that I mean lack of other emotions aside from anger), and lack of empathy may have got her wondering. I don't always fake emotion and empathy around her.
I almost told a good friend once but I didn't I just told him I didn't feel empathy. That plus me being interested in morbid stuff plus the fact that he has seen me without any social 'masks' should give him a pretty serious hint.
Otherwise in general if I'm around someone and I don't make the effort to wear a mask (that term is annoying but it's the best I've got to describe it) they think I'm cold & that I have a dark sense of humor.
Even my psychiatrist has no clue because I'm keeping some stuff for myself.
(Oh and that's funny because I had a thread two days ago with almost the same subject.Great minds blah blah blah)
If you are open about it on a forum and your daughter understands and has an inkling you should own your shit and say YES. YES I am the embodiment of destruction HEAR ME FUCKING ROAR and proceed to full force rage scream into your daughters face. She might appreciate your honesty instead of your vague cowardice :)
by To DecayHow old is your daughter if she knows what a sociopath is? I dont mind if you dont want to answer this.
Why do u keep avoiding her question?
She's 16.
If I had lied to her straight out, she would have known I was lying. My daughter's not stupid. She picks up on things. She's seen the real me. By brushing the conversation off the way I did, she realized it was a conversation I wasn't interested in discussing with her.
