Sociopath Community

Nobody gives a fuuuuuccckkkk~

I have known I was different too. It is called bipolar.

A lot of people feel different at your age. It is called being a teen.

@Stayonhere: I'm fairly certain I don't have BPD. I'm being treated for a majority of different disorders but I'm bullshitting my way through it. It started as a ploy for more sympathy and an excuse I could use on things.

I'm not going to say I am a sociopath as I haven't been formally diagnosed and cannot be until I'm 18. Nonetheless, I'm almost positive. I don't really give a shit whether I am or not, all I know is that I fit almost all of the characteristics, and I lack something called empathy. I don't have a conscience, and I haven't had the feeling of guilt. I only feel bad about doing something if it puts a negative connotation on my name which leads to less trust and therefore less ground for manipulation. But, whatever.

I'm not going to say I am a sociopath ....

 

"I've known I was a sociopath since I was a kid."  -ok then...



as I haven't been formally diagnosed and cannot be until I'm 18...

stupid kid..

Nonetheless, I'm almost positive. I don't really give a shit whether I am or not, all I know is that I fit almost all of the characteristics, and I lack something called empathy....

 

something called empathy? Are you unfamiliar with the term then?

I don't have a conscience, and I haven't had the feeling of guilt. I only feel bad about doing something if it puts a negative connotation on my name which leads to less trust and therefore less ground for manipulation. But, whatever.

There are more serious problems here than just arguing with your mother. First off, don't pull the trigger and diagnose yourself with anything, it never helps and your taking a shot in the dark if you no nothing about disorders in the first place. Almost every personality disorder shares multiple traits with the other and it makes these conditions usually 1-2 symptoms apart from all together having the same criteria. It's best to just understand your impulses and flaws, then try to improve on them.

Second off, being a compulsive liar can be worked upon. You act like it's written in stone that your full of bullshit. I can't stand when people are too lazy to straighten themselves out. It's not only counter-productive but fucking retarded as well. If you can't take yourself seriously do you expect me to?

Third point. You mean to tell me, that you adopted a disorder, lied and fled to this place to avoid a lecture from your mother? That's, again retarded. Stop shifting the blame of your personality on everyone and anything, it's just you. Your 16, trust me it's expected. Would it really be that hard to say "Mom your right, I see my problems and I'm working on it." Instead of I'm fucked in the head its not my fault, I was born this way. Fuck, if you were a real compulsive liar(or a smart one) you would've done that in the first place.

On a side note, the fact that you called your mother "birth giver" sent chills down my spine. It let me know that your hardcore and don't give a fuck about anyone.

Your 16 and your seeing 3 mental health doctors, that's remedial. Your not insane, your 16.

Look, I don't want to come off as offensive but I see someone with your same story every other month. Don't put yourself into a mold when you can't even(or just started) drive yet. The 16 year old me is a complete 180 from what I am now. I have my own problems, but that doesn't mean I used them as a crutch and a excuse to not better myself. Just tell your mom you lied, that you did it because you had too much on your mind and were frustrated at the moment. That you recognize your flaws and plan to work on them. 

Okay, I'm going to bite and assume this post of yours isn't just one big bullshit story. That's not to say I believe it is.

Telling a lot of lies doesn't necessarily mean you're a sociopath. Non-sociopathic people can lie a lot too. Besides, you seem to be more of a compulsive liar than a pathological liar. Sociopaths are usually pathological liars. The lies are manipulative and crafty, and often told for beneficial reasons. But you claim to lie without even meaning to. There's no real benefit to your lies. So, if you're basing your belief that you're a sociopath on your lying, than you may want to rethink that.

As for how you should go about talking to your mother about your lying issues... That's your problem.

Get a life, boney. 

Alright, I have some time before work, I'll take a crack at this:

Your Sociopathy Suspicions: There's other disorders that can appear to have similar symptoms to it, if not life context (medications, age, events, lack of food, etc).

Your Mother: What do you have to gain from her understanding, and why do you care?

Anorexia: What is this about anorexia? Seems like a strange thing to be present in your so-called "ASPD", don't you agree?

Lies: Well, at least you admit to it, although it makes one wonder how seriously you ought to be taken when it'd be even easier to lie here than real life. What motivates you to lie, fear, boredom, an itch?

Therapy: It's only as useless as you make it.

What To Do: What would happen if you just let it all slide instead of piling more lies like kindling?

If you reply, you're likely going to respond to this after I'm not online anymore, but I'll see about coming back to see what you've said.

I normally don't get involved with this kind of post, but I can't help but relate to your problem, especially since we're the same age. I went through something really very similar a year or two ago, and like you, I've always known I was different. And when I came across the idea of being a sociopath, I was rather thrilled. I seemed to fit all of the criteria, and in the end, I started ignoring the little parts of info that said differently. I was so sure of myself, that I sculpted my mind into being more of a sociopath than I actually was.

I didn't let myself care about anyone, and to keep a long story short, it was only a downward spiral. So I'm warning you, don't be so hasty to diagnose yourself. Look over a lot of other disorders first, and try to forget about sociopathy for now. If nothing else fits you in any way, well, it's time to settle with sociopathy. But whatever you do, don't let your belief that you're a sociopath stint your emotional and psychological growth or sculpt your mindset.
