Sociopath Community

So how was your childhood? Please share more about your upbringing, and

do you think any of your relatives have it?

were you adopted?

I think it's strongly genetic, less environmental, I had shitty childhood and only a mood disorder to account for...

What are your "symptoms"? If you were born like that, that's how you are naturally, like M.E. said, it's normal way of being. 

Do you wear a "mask"?

My childhood was fairly uneventful. My parents moved countries when I was 2 and again when I was 3. I always felt like an outsider, and I don't think my relatives have it. I noticed a lot of highly abrasive and aggressive behavior from myself during the ages of 11 to 13. I managed to get it under control after a while although I still see the behavior patterns every now and then. I'm a naturally born child. I mainly ask this because, if my sources are correct. The difference between socios and psychos is whether some event caused their APD or if they were born with it respectively. Maybe I don't remember, but I'm not aware of any event that would cause this.

My dad was a psycho/socio/something-o-path. I have traits that are likely a combination of heredity and environmental factors, but I don't believe I have the full-fledged disorder.

no i thought you meant aspd

Are you an expert at biting your tounge, or do you last out under your breath at your own detriment?

I'd say that's the difference between a boot camp sociopath and an npd.

When people who I think I care about are sad, there is no reaction from me. I just don't care. Violence and disturbing imagery has never had an effect on me. I look at tragic events such as 9/11 and quite a large part of me says, so what? I don't really care about the well being of those outside of my inner circle. Right and wrong is something I see as subjective and entirely up to internal morals. Lying and breaking promises are things I avoid doing only so as not to lose trust from people around me. And I'm the most manipulative son of a bitch I've ever met as well as being entirely egocentric. 

Yeah, so this is where they crossed the meaning of ASPD and APD?

ASPD cannot tolerate following the rules.

APD's repress themselves, are lawful (socially ordered), and break the law in a subversive, npd, passive aggressive manner.

Only guessing. Your a boot camp sociopath. Your parents broke you a little? That's all... 

Well APD is usually and frequently formed as a coping mechanism, most commonly, to my knowledge, as a defense for abuse. This https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2-Re_Fl_L4 would be a good example.

What kinds of trauma or life events would cause it?
