How would an individual diagnose them selves as a sociopath? I tried doing so by researching through numerous websites. It was a very long and boring process but I came to the conclusion that I had NPD. But I would never find my self satisfied with that conclusion. So I started doing more research. After a while I came across the definition of a sociopath, but I didn't think it fit so I dismissed it. After a while I started researching again. Eventually I came across bipolar disorder and that fit perfectly. But the distinction between me and someone who's actually bipolar is that my moments of mania and depression all had a reason behind them. So I had to dismiss that as well. Then I recall that I also have OCD. So then I realized maybe I actually might be sociopathic. Which would describe my narcissistic thoughts and behavior. Also symptoms of NPD are bipolar episodes of mania. Experiencing depression for non moral reasons and of course OCD. That doesn't mean that I'm sociopathic because of those things. But do to genetics, DNA, environment and how I was raised; I feel a lot more comfortable in my own mind believing that I live a sociopathological life style instead of believing that I'm normal. It would also explain the link between my creativity and why I'm so good at music (which you can listen to if you search up 3xp-Ress on YouTube or SoundCloud). I think that's to do the link between mental disorders and genuis. At this point I can do two things. I could say I'm completely normal and deny my mind and it's gift or I can embrace all those imperfections of the mind and create the perfect lifestyle in the midst of all the chaos. I'll be choosing the ladder over anything else but I am interested in hearing someone else's opinion and there ideal of what it means to be on the spectrum of essentially what would be madness.
I honestly don't think you really give a shit what you are. When you get rid of all the other crap, what this is really all about is self-promotion...

Well, one thing I do enjoy about people; is that when you say the right thing, you can get them to do what ever you want. No matter what race, what gender or what person. It's all the same to me. They all have a human mind. Meaning that if I want something from anybody, I just have to use the right words. Now personally I still don't think that makes me sociopathic. Just a bit sly. Also thank you for responding to the question in a related way too the actual question I asked: "what is your opinion". Another thing is that I use commas frequently, but not colons or semi colons so my sentence might not sound right lol. Also I do not own a fur coat. But I do have a very nice polo cardigan.
Well Reaper, taker of souls I assume. I never once claimed to be a psychologist or anything similar to one. I simply enjoy toying with the ideal of diagnosis for the purpose and pleasure of discovering more about myself. I'm personally not even sure that an actual psychologist is fit to make an actual diagnosis becuase you could make up an entire fake scenario about your life and they would believe it do to there own surplus of empathy. I'll test that thought out later though. This is all for just for fun really. So try not to take me serious lol.
Yeah, but when I do it it's just to stir people up, aside from josh of course because he was actually diagnosed with aspergers, not psychopathy. I bet when you do it it's because you believe your own bullshit.
We can share our opinions, sure, but the fact is, nobody here is qualified to diagnose anyone or is in any position to question another person's diagnosis.
