They were children just like me. I didn't really know how I was supposed to behave as a child either.
Knowing for a fact is not something I can claim. But I did notice something was different with all those children (one was my cousin). Later on I realized what it was. I got along with most of them and we did things together. Some of those things got us into trouble but that is OT.
I'm haven't claimed that I am one nor that I have bonded with my psychologist. He is a just person I like to talk to...
I talk to and treat him like I would anyone. Problem is we talk too much about random stuff not related to any problem. Still most of the problems doesn't have anything to do with how I am. So my conversation with him isn't much different from one I'd have with other people I know.
Some see doctors, psychologists and so on as some kind of special people. I have never done that. I get along with most of them.
What I'm looking for in a doctor (or any professional in a similar field) is a person who does what I tell him/her to. Of course I listen to what they say but I decide what should be done. I basically see those people as "servants". Perhaps I shouldn't write this but it's an anonymous forum. I expect (or more like require) that they do what I want them too.
Some (very few) of those people have given me slight problems. Like one doctor I mentioned in a previous post. If it is someone I can't handle (with ease) I just never see them again or get them exchanged.

So, if a psychologist tells you something you don't want to hear, you simply quit?
Would I be right in assuming that therapy hasn't been very effective for you so far?

That with "handling people" is mostly with ordinary doctors. I know a lot about medicine myself, so sometimes I recommend that certain tests should be taken and so on. Most people just trust doctors and people like that but I don't.
No, I didn't mean with psychiatrists and psychologists but I had one of those who almost caused me a lot of problems in the past. I was right (of course) and he was wrong but I wasn't at my best at the time (far from it) so I had a hard time convincing him of it. But (as usual) I prevailed and he had to admit to me later that he was wrong.
I don't really need any help right now. I have no serious psychological problems really. I just like to talk to my psychologist. But you do have a point in a way... That none of these people have really helped me. It isn't (only) because of my attitude but also because there isn't very much they can do. Talking about my childhood and stuff like that is probably useless, and none of them have done it anyway.
So far, your brain hasn't shown to be very different from most average people, going by your posts, so I'm a little curious in what way you believe your brain is the same as a psychopath.
Two psychologists have told me that I'm different from other people, and I've noticed those differences pretty much all my life. Sometimes when I talk to people it's almost as though we're speaking a different language. I've noticed that most people I've met don't see things the same way I do.
