Sociopath?


Posts: 163

im relatively convinced i am a sociopath, but im undiagnosed and would like a little opinion from you all. im 18 and male, and im a generally cold person. that being said, most people like me until i give them a reason not to. as far as empathy is concerned, im never really sorry for anyone, but when people experience events that i can relate to, i have what i would call an understanding of their experience.. i dont feel for them, but  know what theyre going through. i make most of my decisions based on logic or occaisonally anger, which between that, and hate seem to be the only emotions that i really understand to a degree. i dislike people in general, and would prefer an hour with my cat over an hour with most people i know. if you have any questions or comments feel free, and sorry if that was a little long.

Hey, man.  In all seriousness you should answer this question; "why am I asking thess fuckers what they think of me from what I am tell ing them I think of me?"  Can you please do that?  Then I'll give you a swing at what I think.

thats a good point. i guess i reasoned that the others on the forum were more likely to know about sociopathy than i do, since a lot of them are, and have more experience in the area.

So you want someone to recognize the sociopath in you?

You're welcome.  I busy at the moment.  Could you give some examples of how you or others see you as a sociopath?  I mean, how are your relationships?  I'll be back soon to read and continue if you'd like.

yeah that would be cool.

my relationships arent bad, but i manipulate everyone to a degree. for example;

talks about boredom, expresses slight sentiment to friend -> is invited to friends house

gifts, and doting on girlfriend -> sex

etc.

i do have a disconnect though, when a friend or family member starts talking about some tragedy or "terrible injury" and expect me to sympathize, i cant. i make it look like i do sometimes, but "that sucks your grandmother died" and "oh i bet breaking your knee really hurt huh?" doesnt exactly come off as sympathetic. 

when anyone starts talking about something i dont care about i ignore them, and if its one on one conversation i change the subject to a mutual intrest. 

one other thing that strikes me as sociopathic is that i place no or extremely little value on human life. i feel like it would be nearly effortless for me to kill someone. i just dont care about anyone that isnt immediately important or symbiotic to me that i could just snuff them out if the situation required it.

How many crimes/sins have you committed? Do you feel guilt or worry about the crime? Like lingering thoughts that won't stop? Or does it occur to you on some light logical level that you shouldn't get caught. Do you feel constantly free to do whatever, or do things hold you back?

One thing I would like you to keep in mind, you are just now learning who you are.  It is a life long endeavor.  I would caution looking for a label of any kind at such a young age.  And absolutely do not pidgeon hole yourself into something just so anonymous shit pokers on a forum lost in the dark corners of a web site will think a certain way of you.
