"In short, you're only showing us that you really don't want PTSD to be the answer, not that it isn't the case."
Are you serious...
So, if you told me you don't have PTSD, I could assume from that that you're not really telling me you don't have it (as indicated by the lack of symptoms), but rather that you just don't want to have it?
lol, seems legit.
Keep chasing your tail, turdcoat.
have a look at that old post, or that old thread, rather.

can you honestly say, reading your comments in it, you weren't abused/suffer trauma? That this didn't stunt you in any way?
"I simply told you I don't have PTSD and I explained why by showing that I lack most of the symptoms."
...and I replied to it, which you then have chosen to avoid among a myriad of other things that I've said.
You right now are the online equivalent of plugging your ears and saying "No" over and over, or at least your approach here is giving the impression of that.
"No psychologist I've ever spoken to has ever even mentioned PTSD being a possibility, so we're going to end this discussion now because I really do believe you're just trolling at this point."
No, you feel the need to believe I'm trolling for your own sake.
How many psychologists have you seen, and how many of them have you seen while thinking in advance that you're ASPD? You yourself admitted that misdiagnosis is always a possibility, and as was mentioned in my discussion with Haart, figuring what label you are in advance affects the testimony, the script, that's fed to them. They'll be far more likely to parrot your own findings if you're feeding them a checklist of symptoms, especially if you've been deluded into living the label yourself.
"I'm not running around in circles with you, turdcoat. I simply told you I don't have PTSD and I explained why by showing that I lack most of the symptoms."
You always choose the avoidance route with me, and you never bother answering why...
What are you running from TK?

Isn't that a BPD sort of thing to do? Look up all sorts of crap online, copy characters and idols and "become" that which they admire?
Pretty fked up, but have seen that occur.

"and how many of them have you seen while thinking in advance that you're ASPD?"
Only the ones I saw after I was already diagnosed.
Before I got diagnosed I didn't even know I had AsPD.
"You yourself admitted that misdiagnosis is always a possibility"
For anyone and everyone who has ever been diagnosed with a personality disorder, it is possible.
"figuring what label you are in advance affects the testimony, the script, that's fed to them. They'll be far more likely to parrot your own findings if you're feeding them a checklist of symptoms, especially if you've been deluded into living the label yourself."
Why would you even think this? I've never given any indication I've ever done that.
I hardly even knew what a personality disorder was before I was diagnosed, let alone AsPD. So, I certainly wasn't in any position to feed them information that might affect their own observations.
Just stop now. I've had enough of this.

Except, like yourself, there have been symptoms that reflect it. You're even blocking out the majority of what I've gone out of my way to dissect in favor of continuing to call it impossible, even claiming that said "lack of symptoms" hasn't been discussed on my end from choosing to ignore it, pretending it doesn't exist. You don't want it to be the case, but no matter how much you try to block it out that doesn't mean that it isn't. In other words, you're blindspotting it to maintain your fragile sense of status quo you need to continue on as you have.
Calling what I'm doing "trolling" at this point sounds more like what you're needing to tell yourself than anything else. You can't even venture that maybe it could be what's happening, even in the face of elaboration. Instead you simplify it by cherry picking what few parts you can focus on instead of looking at the whole picture, a wonderful representation of how you could continue to call it "ASPD" instead of what it potentially really is.
Your inability to even venture that it could be more than the image you've built around yourself, the words you feel the need to repeat towards yourself, is an expression of weakness. Even if you are actually ASPD, the inability to even venture otherwise shows that you are extremely prone to denial. If you want to overcome this weakness, then you'd bother looking into the possibility further.
"The difference for him lies in that he doesn't care if we believe him or not."
Neither do I. You can believe what you want. If you don't want to believe I have it, I really could not give a shit.
"From the looks of things, you need it to be ASPD instead of PTSD regardless of which it actually is."
lol, are you kidding me. Do you have any idea what AsPD even is? I'm guessing not.
It's a self-destructive disorder that uses defense mechanisms. If anything, AsPD is a weakness, not a strength.
It usually stems from childhood abuse. Having it is nothing to be proud of.
"It annoys you from how sore you become when you could be seen as a victim of any kind."
I was a victim of child abuse. I'm not ashamed to admit that because I had no control over it. I'm not a victim anymore. I stopped being one the day I learned to fight back.
"I bet you'd care significantly less if it was a disorder that didn't make you appear as a victim."
I don't care either way. I know I don't have PTSD because I've never been diagnosed with it, so who cares.
"If you're capable of this, I'd venture that you're equally capable of denying that it's PTSD so that others won't mock you for being weak."
omfg, you're relentless. Nobody can mock me over something I don't have, duh.
I've got a great idea, why don't we talk about your PTSD, turdcoat. After all, you were raped.
What it's like for you?
