Sociopath Community

I don't consider myself a psycho/sociopath but I can relate to those things.

Ok, perhaps it's something that's common for most people?

I think they vary in intensity from person to person.

Could be. I always seem to be on the extreme end of the spectrum when it comes to everything.

I can see these as a phase some people may go through. Mainly men, though.

Lets see...

Easily bored
MY LIFE!

Act strangely or out of character under the influence of alcohol?
This could stand to be more strongly defined. Alcohol changes many people.

I mostly just laugh more at stuff and become less social.

Easily irritated
Internally... yeah. Enough to act? Nah.

"Vacation in filth"
Seriously, this list sounds like more than just psychopathy/sociopathy.

Acting strangely under the influence of alcohol

 

A major point about the psychopath and his relation to alcohol can be
found in the shocking, fantastic, uninviting, or relatively inexplicable
behavior which emerges when he drinks - sometimes when he drinks only
a little. It is very likely that the effects of alcohol facilitate
such acts and other manifestations of the disorder. This does not
mean, however, that alcohol is fundamentally causal. Good criteria
for differentiation between psychopaths and others who drink, moderately
or excessively, can be found in what tendencies emerge after similar
amounts have been consumed.

A peculiar sort of vulgarity, domineering rudeness, petty bickering
or buffoonish quasi-maulings of wife, mistress, or children, and quick
shifts between maudlin and vainglorious moods, although sometimes
found in ordinary alcoholics with other serious patterns of disorder,
are pathognomonic of the psychopath and in him alone reach full and
precocious flower. Even in the first stages of a spree, perhaps after
taking only two or three highballs, he may show signs of petty truculence
or sullenness but seldom of real gaiety or conviviality. Evidence
of any pleasurable reaction is characteristically minimal, as are
indications that he is seeking relief from anxiety, despair, worry,
responsibility, or tension.

Alcohol, as a sort of catalyst, sometimes contributes a good deal to the long
and varied series of outlandish pranks and inanely coarse scenes with
which nearly every drinking psychopath's story is starred. Free from
alcohol, such a patient would scarcely sit under a house all night
idly striking matches, or, concealing himself behind book stacks,
urinate from the window of a public library on passersby in the street
below. Nor would he, like the psychopathic son of a prominent family,
suddenly, as a prank, decide to climb into a tree at a busy street
corner, where he deliberately undressed, shouting wildly and puerilely
to draw public attention. This man could not be persuaded to withdraw
until the local fire department was called to remove him. The alcohol
probably does not of itself create such behavior. Alcohol is not likely
to bring out any impulse that is not already potential in a personality,
nor is it likely to cast behavior into patterns for which there is
not already significant subsurface predilection.

Vacation into filth and degradation

 

One very interesting aspect of the psychopath is his "hidden life" that
is sometimes not too well hidden. It seems that the psychopath has a regular
need to take a "vacation into filth and degradation" the same
way normal people may take a vacation to a resort where they enjoy beautiful
surroundings and culture. To get a full feeling for this strange "need"
of the psychopath - a need that seems to be evidence that "acting
human" is very stressful to the psychopath

The "vacation in filth" is symptomatic of a few disorders isn't it? Hell, some turn it into a means of protecting themselves. Or... do they mean a vacation into someone else's filth?

That alcohol entry was a fun read.

Drug abuse can lead to a long "vacation into filth" also.

Yeah, hehe. It was... I wonder how much basis in reality it has?
