I would say yes, and is typically characterized by a sudden and impulsive break in responsibility, often with disastrous social or professional consequences.
Blah blah blah, yes I am quite familiar with all of those, personal experience has had different levels of each thing. They are always present, more the boredom thing than anything as I get older. Alcohol, which I don't like really like and never did very often (physical reactions unrelated to drunkeness, just sensitive digestion and I hate the smell), but when I did it didn't take much to get me to a point of intoxication where if I didn't monitor my own behavior, I entirely dismiss inhibition. I am not a bad drunk, not angry or sad or mean, just completely immune to fear or thoughts of consequences. Really, I have been scared sometimes at how easily I say fuck off to self contro. then. I like delving into filth, as I consider it, as in indulging socially unfit behavior in my environment. In fact, this site and forum are a slight way of assuaging my need for vice. Anger does a similar thing where I reach a threshold that I can say fuck consequences. I don't like this part of myself, but the filth indulgences seem to temper my behavior enough.
...So, for me, filth is a means of impulse regulation. It is enabling me to not get crushed by strictures of society that I honestly wish I could not give as much of a fuck that I am expected to, you know? It is as simple as that. I am not a rapist or really violent. I think psychopathy is a bit of a stigma because people equate it to violence, but that seems one facet to an impulse control problem. It may behavorial in that regard, while genetics build the framework which would give the capacity to do it.
by StormI don't know if I am a sociopath/psychopath but some things seem to indicate it. I also scored quite high on all (serious) tests I did on the Internet. So I will answer these questions.
Easily bored
Yes, I always have to keep myself occupied. I also tire easily of many things. I've quit lots of things I that I have started because they became boring and I found some reason to do so. Also, I sometimes get this feeling when I'm expecting something and not getting it (because of someone else usually) that feels like mind-crushing boredom. It feels basically worse than anything else.
Easily irritated
Yes. I can go from being completely calm to shouting furiously in less than seconds. I sometimes react instantly with anger and break stuff (even my own things) for minor reasons. I've sometimes done this in public too. I can also (this is not something I like) feel like I really need to kill someone when things don't go my way. Mostly when it is because of someone else. After a fight/argument with someone I cool down quickly most of the time. Other people are still angry but I just think the fight is over, and want to talk about something else.
Yup. Does happen.
by Venator of VerumIntroduce a notch of chaos into a seemingly ordered system?
A seemingly ordered system is a disordered system. Ordered systems are damn rare to come by, i think i haven't seen one yet. Thus i tread the other way around, ordo ab chao. Sure way to mayhem.
Order stems from chaos.
Order also requires chaos to sustain it.
The eternal struggle of the discoherence of life against the perfection of death.
Life ever metabolizes, reproduces and evolves.
Thus worshiping life requires sacrifices.
If you ever get tired of being a god, start envying your worshipers.
If you can not find envy for their state within yourself, then you'll know you're alive.
in the end you can find satisfaction in your urge to destroy in order to create.
by Venator of VerumThread the extremes into the fabric of your own and other fellow "survivors of life" existence?
Extremes can be a matter of perspective. Say, if you happened to be brought up in the realm of extremes as default, then treading the 'golden median' might appear to you as a distant, desirable extreme.
