Sociopath Community

I agree that you shouldn't limit or label people by their disorders but when it comes to severe mental illness there are distinct advantages and disadvantages which could play into certain roles.

People are more than just their disorders, so how is this supposed to be answered when that's all you're focusing on?

Right on Turncoat!... I think all of the different conditions have been advantageous, otherwise we wouldn't be here, that's what neurodiversity is all about :)

This is exactly how I feel. The world can't function without us.

What roles would be the various disorders or conditions play in the civilization as far as the most effective role? For a narcissist, psychopath, sociopath, D.I.D,, bi polar, etc.. Thoughts?

In that case, I've seen a lot of people with disorders be attracted to the arts. Art in the sense of painting, drawing, sculpting, and other mediums can offer them freedom and control in ways life normally wouldn't, while performance art in the sense of acting, dancing, singing, martial arts, and the like can grant them the foundations to become more structured. Both also grant them an outlet for anything they may be keeping pent up, and alongside it the potential for recognition that their every day lives otherwise might struggle to find.

Art can be both freedom and structure while also being free-form enough to have them pick where to go with it. Acting especially can appeal to disorderly types since it's either teaching them how to blend in or allowing them to coast on how much cross training real life gave them for the sake of appearing as someone other than themselves. For separate individual reasons it can help with building them into stronger people as well, such as a phobic person being forced to get over stage fright since "The Show Must Go On".

Honestly, those would be better off being excluded from society.

I somewhat agree with you. My main point was certain jobs fit certain personality traits. Sociopaths have often been said to be good lawyers, busineessman, CEO etc, easy example

If they have shortcomings, it could inspire them to overcome it just as much as they could instead choose to follow their natural advantages or do something completely unrelated. While it could make for a unique expression of whatever profession they're taking, the profession a person follows is more closely tied to nurture.
