Sociopath Community

Then I'm going to go on a limb and say Narcissist. A Sociopath wouldn't have wasted the time and money to go to play with shrink when he can toy with anyone for free, while a Narcissist would see it as a worthy use of time and money to derive self-worth from feeling superior to the shrink.

Not a sociopath or narc myself, but it is a particularly unique brand of comedy to see someone who "knows what they're talking about" be able to be toyed with or rendered confused like those who have no idea or training. The struggle is of a different sort.

My trying to genuinely answer questions left her confused from my more lengthy experience with one in college, which in time had it become more about her than me. On top of that, it's freeing to be able to bring up psychology terms and not have to define them for their sake. A non-narc could enjoy them for being of a "different breed" than the others, and there are ways to see a shrink for free.

Could be. Could be a Narcissist instead.

Most of the people here aren't Sociopaths, some have Sociopathic tendencies but that isn't the same.

See a shrink, ask him.

I used to ask myself the same thing back when I was a gullible little edgy kid in school.

Then studies and night-time ''clubbing'' scene happened :D

 I saw I shrink, but I found too much amusement in toying with him to let him help me

It can be fun convincing shrinks how normal ASPD symptoms are, then proceeding to make them question their own sanity if you can do so. I've gotten bored of it though, can see going to one to develope skills on how to interact with others to get along, though prefer experience over a shrink for that.

I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask but I was just wondering if I am a sociopath.

I grew up and I knew that I was not your 'average Joe' growing up, I was bullied for being different, however when I got slightly older (about 14) I was able to use my charm and intelligence to manipulate people's thoughts on me and I became a very central part of my year. I was basically the heart and soul of my school, everyone knew my name. I wasn't the most well behaved child either, however I could get away with murder, using my charisma to manipulate my teachers thoughts of me, everyone loved me. Once I had a bout of my usual impulsive behaviour, this time aggressively, and swore at my teacher; however after speaking to the Headmistress I got away with almost no punishment.

I cannot stick to one thing at a time for long as I get bored of it very quickly, I am a jack of all trades but master of none. I amateur in playing the piano, drums, guitar, didgeridoo and trumpet. I get interested in certain parts of history and learn almost obsessively about them and then move on to a different period in time. I am 16 at the moment and am attending one of the most prestigious schools in the country, I aspire to be a Barrister when I graduate from a Russell Group University.

I have a high level of respect for people that can maintain an interesting level of conversation with me. People that I deem either vulnerable or thick (don't interest me when I speak to them) I toy with and manipulate to get my own way. If necessary (or I am bored) I will manipulate anyone I come across. I don't really feel anything for the people I speak to and I don't feel guilt or remorse on any level for anything. I feel love for only 5 people in my life (my mum, dad, two brothers and my best friend) I would not really manipulate them for fun, but if there was something I wanted I definitely would. I also lie a lot to people, never to my best friend for a reason unknown to me, but I do regularly to my family.

You're still a kid. Maybe have narcissistic traits. I dunno. You could be making up these things, or exaggerating. How is anyone supposed to figure out whether you're a sociopath or not from 3 paragraphs on the internet where you simply listed a couple dsm criteria for aspd? I could do the same. If you care so much about this, see a psychiatrist
