Sociopath Community

Have you actually seen the anime that character is from?

lol, i said i could imagine you waiting outside your next class with a book during recess. were you ever bullied?

Not to offend you but could it be that you have asperger's syndrome? I don't but I have some very few similartities to that condition. Also to borderline, histrionic personality disorder, ADHD, NPD, etc.

I also liked to draw a lot and read books. When it came to these things I was told I have above average talent. The first years in school I behaved sometimes in ways that are hard to explain. I would say and do things that most people would be ashamed of doing. I also did things (again hard to explain) only to get a reaction from a person or it was what I thought the person expected. I think I maybe did this to make me seem cool. I also used so much vulgar language in class (could've be in second grade perhaps) that a teacher called my mom and asked if something was sexually wrong with me. She told the teacher that all kids say these things. That I was not the only one, and perhaps I was influenced by the other kids. Also other things such as having low impulse control. All kids do but I did things that got me into trouble. There was also this that I didn't really care about school. I was intelligent so it was easy for me to do homework, so I didn't do so bad in spite of this.

The change happened by itself. I started to care about school later and got higher grades. But I also changed in other ways.

Yes, I have Asperger's Syndrome.

Ok! But you chose to adapt and became more "normal"?

I chose to try and be more amicable and understanding of people who are unable to understand me in return. 'Guess you could call that adapting, yet it is far from "normal" behavior. I still do the things that people consider abnormal, and I can't imagine a different way of experiencing life. Say, what is to be normal? I hear that and I think, normal is what I lack or cannot see.

Impossible to become what doesn't exist in one's mind.

:( And I don't like limitations. From what I've read people with AS lack cognitive empathy. They don't intuitively know how others feel and can't "put themselves in their shoes". Also to intuitively understand how to react to something. I've thought about this that to be seen as "normal" one must react in the right way in every situation. Like if someone says "Hello" it is expected that the greeting is returned. That was a very simple example, but people always expect others to react in a certain ways. When someone doesn't it's seen as "abnormal".

One the other hand my EQ (according to tests) is quite low and I still act/react as I should. I don't have to think about it either. So EQ or empathy isn't everything.

I don't understand how you could want to be understanding towards those who aren't understanding of you, makes you a kind, strong soul. Though you should always meet your needs in relationships, otherwise they're not worthy of you.

When I was caught abusing animals as a kid. But it was normal. My mom said that my dad burned a cat in a tree when he was a teenager. 

AS, which disorder are you meaning by that abbreviation? ASpergers or AntiSocial?

Either way, affective empathy is the antisocial supposed lacking while autism disorders can have "combinations of both".
