Sociopath Community

Genuine. Got diagnosed with  NPD and ASP with Sadistic tendencies... I've never killed and animal or anything, Iguess... (I like to create chaos around me)? [ I think my family went behind my back and talked  to the Psych lady, about prior history] I totally thought I had BPD! I never would have thought I was antisocial, I knew I couldnt empathize but... idk, It makes sense thaT apparently I don't know how I'm effecting people. It kinda sucks though...Not being able to tell how u effect people or how they actually percieve u, correctly. I always thought I was on that shit, and most of the time i am, but reading about my pd's made me realize that I must do things that give me away and make me seem depraved. Even though, I don't feel I am, I am completely justified in everything I do.

People's opinions are so mean about ASP. It's like they hate us for not having emotion and not showing we agree with everything they say or do.

They are the selfish ones,lol

How did I miss this thread, its comedy gold! Helena, edvard, slimey, tk et al comparing dick sizes, haha fucking hilarious!

Thats the problem with me, I'm not sure if I am or if I  just follow a lot of the traits..

... live a parasitic lifestyle (by defrauding the government and/or living off other people)?

My friendships are solely based off of how beneficial they are to me but I hate depending on others. I want to build myself rather than requiring dependency

... have trouble maintaining a steady job (due to irresponsibility and/or poor behavioral controls)?

I havent had enough jobs to properly answer but I do find it difficult to constantly pretend to like people.

... have trouble staying out of debt?

I have 0 problems with this. I am very good with money...

... always blame others when things go wrong?

I can accept my own mistakes.

... have relationship problems (due to an inability and lack of desire
to emotionally connect with others, and other reasons that relate to
sociopathy)?

I have a problem being able to connect with others but again, I havent had enough relationships to truly be able to say. Casual hook ups are a lot easier for me

... have poor behavioral controls (anger issues/highly reactive)?

I am very well in control of my emotions

Although all these points are made worse when I'm fatigued(mentally or physically). Go ahead and tell me what you think, I would like to know

Im a genuine one

im a genuine socio and i do have membership to a secret club.

live a parasitic lifestyle (by defrauding the government and/or living off other people)?...

I don't get my money by working, but I don't see it as parasitic.

have trouble maintaining a steady job (due to irresponsibility and/or poor behavioral controls)?...

I was fired from my first job and from 3 jobs in total. Also even when I wasn't fired I got complaints for calling in sick too often, etc. I wasn't sick of course and I also drank alcohol (sometimes Vodka) at the workplace. Luckily the bosses didn't know about this.

 

have trouble staying out of debt?...

 

I have had periods when I've had to borrow money each month.

always blame others when things go wrong?...

 

Not always but if it something I do is someone else's fault, then it is. Like if I'm forced to do something because of someone else.

have relationship problems (due to an inability and lack of desire to
emotionally connect with others, and other reasons that relate to
sociopathy)?...

 

I don't know what the reason is, but I've never had any long lasting relationships.

have poor behavioral controls (anger issues/highly reactive)?

Yes, I break stuff and once I kicked in my own television screen. This was the old kind of TV... Also, in arguments I can become very aggressive. I have been asked to leave places (like restaurants, malls, etc) several times because of this or to cool it, by staff or guards.

I can also mention that don't recognize anything at all when I see people writing about that their lives are terrible because of "psychopathy". My life isn't so bad and it could be a lot better if it weren't for some people. Also if (when) I get a big break...then my life will be really good. So if it's common for psychopaths to feel bad about and whine about how they are, then I'm most certainly not a psychopath. I am proud of what/how I am and what I have accomplished. I only wish it would have lead to a better situation and life than the one I'm in right now. But I promise that it will improve and it can be no other way.

I would say no I'm not a sociopath. 

it's possible to be all of these without being a psychopath

Probably

it's possible to be all of these without being a psychopath

 Those traits were all taken off the PCL-R.

If it's possible to exhibit many similar traits of a psychopath such as lack and empathy and remorse etc, score high on the PCL-R and still not be a psychopath, then I agree with you.

What would be the defining difference between a real psychopath and one who exhibits a lot of similar traits to one?
