I think I'm a sociopath

>But I'm probably just over thinking it cause I do care about people.

Of course you're over thinking it. If you were truly a sociopath, you wouldn't care what she said. I'd guess you probably have minor anger issues and are a bit socially awkward, like the rest of Cred Forums.

>If you were truly a sociopath, you wouldn't care what she said
makes too much sense. My jealousy issues are pretty bad, so that's probably it.

Good enough answers. thanks Cred Forums, yah cucks

Stop acting retarded.

I know you don't have any reason to believe me, but I'm a psychologist. You don't sound like a sociopath or a psychopath. You sound like so many young adults nowadays...don't know how to translate this into english, but me try, you sound like someone with narcissist emptiness.

I have borderline personality disorder. Male borderlines are pretty similar to antisocial males in a lot of ways. Go see a psychiatrist or psychologist and request a personality test.. if you are antisocial then there's therapy available and even medications can be beneficial. I actually work as a therapist and see alot of people who exhibit antisocial traits but wouldn't be qualified as antisocial.. personality tests aren't 100% but it's a good start if this is a genuine concern of yours.

*but let me try

another take on the psychodynamic or psychoanalytic term of what I'm trying to convey with "narcissist emptiness" could be a "narcissist with a depression".
CBT works really well with your kind of personality.

>narcissist emptiness
read a quick thing on it

Sounds pretty depressing tbh. Kinda interesting though.

ill try once i can afford it. main reason I haven't gone to a psychiatrist.

At least you're not a kike.

I agree , jews are bad. Shouldn't we just get rid of them guys?

Come on, everybody now!

...

a saint on a bad day bis a sphycopath. empathy isnt consistant it depends on mood et cetera

Shut the fuck up . You don't know my disease.

many people take certainty and an unwillingness to compromise as "being mad".
like is someone says something i disagree with i will flat out shoot them down hard unless i can tell tehy are sensative panies. i assume more people can take a jab like me. im wrong a lot and people think im a dick.
also im probably a dick but i am pretty happy with my personality so fuck em.

No, it's just that you were my one oneitis, that's all. But, you might be ;)

this tbh
i believe it

ok i was exaggerating im just saying most people, when tehy are angry or depressed would score sphyco on any online test for it. dont ttake those test results as gospel.

kek

I make sure I jab at everyone just enough so they are comfortable jabbing at me. Give and take, since I know people want someone to be able to pick on so they aren't stressed all the time and can have fun letting out on me knowing I asked for it. It's fun and helpful. i think.

>Male borderlines are pretty similar to antisocial males in a lot of ways
Not OP.
I'm and That might be because if we look at the personality spectrum from a simple dynamic perspective we only have 3 clusters: psychosis, borderline, neurosis.
Inside each one of them there's the so-called "personality types", and inside the borderline, we have the archetype borderline, but also the paranoid, the narcissist, and all the borderline deviations like psychopaths, sociopaths and sexual perversions. Also, somewhere between the border with neurosis and borderline some people also consider the sadists.

Considering that the gross majority of the population falls inside the borderline spectrum, or anguish of loss of object/love, it's no wonder that many people have traits or small "symptoms" from other mental functions along the borderline spectrum. So, assuming OP might have a prevalent narcissist personality, he might use defence mechanism that are typical but not exclusive to other personality types.

Of course none of this is according to the DSM but with the PDM.

Look fuckface. I am a sociopath and if I'm not I will be by the time this is all over , so help me god.

some people, imo mostly women, are pretty sensitive.
myself, i consider a favor is someone bluntly tells me im wrong and why. i dont really get humiliated or embarrassed when i fuck up or act like a fool, so i really do sincerely appreciate when someone tells me im a fuckin idiot and also takes the time to correct me. that asshole just made sure ill never look like an idiot in that way again, he just helped me out a lot.

turns out most people get all hot and bothered when you point out how fucking stupid they are being. oops.

so best to take the tests after you wake up im assuming
>borderline deviations like psychopaths, sociopaths and sexual perversions
>sexual perversions
OP here. I'm also a huge secret pervert. Does that add to anything in any way? Just curious.

>so best to take the tests after you wake up im assuming
take the tests knowing there is a reason they use PHDs and not online tests to diagnose people with personality disorders in any place that takes itself seriously, like academia or the court system for example.

protip: if you feel love for yuour immidiate family then your not a total phycho. if you know people you would call friends, your probably not.

that being said phyco isnt binary you can have a lot of empathy or none and everything inbetween thetwo.

>OP here. I'm also a huge secret pervert. Does that add to anything in any way? Just curious.
if you are and you didnt escilate fetishes by watching more and more porn, like if you were into weird or sick shit before seeing a lot of it in porn then maybe.
anyone will become desensitized to porn though.

I just hate other people.

I feel the same way. though it's hard finding people like that. the only people that talk to me that way are my boss and assistant manager, for obvious reasons. But I always understand what they're trying to tell me since it is affecting my job. Outside of work though, I just feel most people just don't want trouble, though it would help a lot since I feel I might not be reading a situation correctly.

You're literally autistic.

youre not. because your asking others' opinions on the matter. that shows insecurity and worry.

grow up pussy

more likely your just dissapointed by most other people

That's some real shit

That is just simply not true user
I was just curious. It isn't gonna change how I feel.

yeah you n me must be two of a kind cause i aint yet met someone else who said he appreciates being bluntly corrected.
people are way too wrapped up what they think other people think of them.

yeah. I fit the bill perfectly for that one.

trips confirmed for blunt Cred Forumsro

>Does that add to anything in any way? Just curious.
Not really. All in all it just adds to my initial diagnosis. It really depends on what you consider a perversion. Narcissism has a very wide variety and many traits that are not exclusive.
There's the narcissistic narcissist, or the "peter pan" that's has a good amount of "friends" and good social interactions because he looks and sounds self-assured and can manipulate himself to be likeable for a while, the paranoid narcissist, and finally the psychopath (doesn't mean what you think it does) or malevolent narcissist. Everyone of these will go and fetch traits alongside the borderline spectrum so sexual perversion will just be another symptom.

Listen, don't beat yourself over this.

There is no "normal". Everyone has a personality right? Dynamic Psychologists just assume that every type of personality has a name, so when people say other are a narcissist or whatever, doesn't mean they have a narcissistic disorder, it just means your personality is like that and will use defence mechanisms from that type when under stress or suffering.

The type of personality isn't a problem.
The problem exists when there's a deviation and/or suffering on at least one of three levels: well-being with yourself, with others, with the society/world around you.

The DSM folk just love to call everything a "disorder" ignoring that there are personality types for everyone. That's why most people that read the DSM think they have "a problem" when they see themselves in some pathological label...they're not diagnosing themselves, they're just realising traits from their personality when under stress or suffering.

I don't think my friends take me seriously because I am overly sarcastic about shit. between me and my best friend, people always choose my what my best friend has to say, because he likes telling them what they want to hear instead of what they should hear.

Example:
>friend gets in to argument with gf
>shes crying, best friend and I are trying to console
>me: I know its hard, but you have to leave him.
>BF: Awww, its okay, it'll be fine.
>proceeds to shush me saying its not what she needs to hear
>I say it is
That girl is still with same guy.

>The problem exists when there's a deviation and/or suffering on at least one of three levels: well-being with yourself, with others, with the society/world around you.
this specific part of your post interests me can you provide google terms or links on where i would start to learn more on ego defense mechanisms in the contexts of categorized personality types?

also kudos for using the word dynamic in a derogatory sense, i get a kick out of people who use buzzwords ironically. only ever heard the word used like that way one other time, in a mission hill episode. pretty linguistically savvy pal.

Youre prolly just have autism

people who know me tend to agree with everything i say and i think its mostly a front beause they know i wont stop arguing my point until either they win or i win and most people don't know debate so they get crushed when i point out things like logical fallacy or correlation != causation and they end up thinking im smart but im not really smart.
i have a pretty abrasive personality so i don't talk much to people i dont know aside from meaningless smalltalk till i know they are not pussies and im not just going to hurt their sad little feels by trying to be frank and honest.

i think most people lie to everyone by acting nice as if they were fucking kindergartener teachers and everyone else was their student.
frankly im personally insulted if people are sugar coating shit for me or being sensitive toward me.

people who know me well shit all over anything wrong i say and if they are right i instantly agree and admit that i was stupid. why others dont do this is a mystery to me.

also women don't care about reality they care about emotion.
when was the last time a chick was reactionary about anything except how she felt? thats right, never been a case in recorded history, we can only extrapolate that data throughtout time and assume never.

we're all sociopath's in the inside

>can you provide google terms or links on where i would start to learn more on ego defense mechanisms in the contexts of categorized personality types?
Don't really use internet much to study or read, but if you can find it online "Introduction to Psychoanalysis" from Anthony Bateman is a REALLY easy book to understand the fundamentals of ego defense mechanism. For personality types categorization, frankly, anything by Nancy Williams will do.

...

"Read up a few things online, and I seem to fall in to most categories. But i can't tell myself I am a sociopath, so i need help/confirmation."

How about Cred Forums circle jerk just for you, you extra special snowflake?

>and if they are right i instantly agree and admit that i was stupid

i think thats my problem, i like to push the argument, since most of the arguments we have are pretty meaningless overall. But if its a serious issue, its usually avoided completely.

its true. A girl i was really in to cucked me over even though it all seemed to be going really well. In the end i think she was just giving me false hope just to be nice. its the worse kind of bullshit. i still get frustrated over it. No honesty.

cool. i don't trust websites that are not croud sourced like wiki unless they are the CDC or something professional like that anyway. most bloggers are talking out their ass.
rather have a book any day. at least you van get reviews on a book by relevant people, not so much on a website typically. if its esoteric info

If you're worried that you may be a sociopath, you are not a sociopath.

>I seem to fall in to most categories
Explain please.

you deserve a circle jerk too user. Everyone does. Not just me.

>she was just giving me false hope just to be nice.
yep, that and most women and a lot of men will rationalize the fuck out of their actions to avoid the truth that they are so afraid of conflict of, for example, a breakup, that they would do something like lead on an SO saying they love them when they dont.

i told a girl i used to love that i dont love her anymore and you would think that i fucking killed her mother. its like hey bitch be glad i told you beause the alternative is you living a fucking lie. she never got that. seems to simple to me and so out of the fuking world to her. so i have to assume that if she had been the one to stop loving me she would have lied about it and just sabotaged the relationship by heating or being a huge bitch.
fuckin women man. can they know honor? havn't see it yet.

well now, this the embarrassing.
I lost the original source I found that made me think of it, but seemed the most accurate, and the I just read a wikihow on how to spot them since it was the simplest explanation.

just ordered both books. wasn;t looking for a text bokk but hey why not.

I got to be honest. I think anybody with just a little self awareness will fall into categories of disorder. Disorders seem to be defined as falling outside of "normal" parameters, but what is normal? Then you get into stuff like cultural relativism. Furthermore, the natural world basically says all that matters is surival. Chimps are crazy as fuck. They kill and eat each other. They dont' give a shit.

Yet if a human is an asshole to some faggot he has a problem. He didn't even eat the guy.

>He didn't even eat the guy.
lol

>He didn't even eat the guy.
people just dont understand

lol why is this a good thread? what went wrong here for this to happen?

Lemme guess, your favourite tv series are Dexter and Mr Robot?
Go end your life. Wanting people to assume you are cool for being mentally ill? Go to your nearest mental asylum, they can feed you all the attention you need in your life.

Psychology I guess.

Also dubs
only ever watched one episode of Dexter and never touched Mr. robot. if you wanna yell at me though, I like Sherlock.

Kill Yourself.

on it

honestly isnt one of the best tests for socio/psychopath associated with the ability to evaluate yourself as a social/psychopath?

i.e. if you can even consider your not normal then you're normal.

being a social/psychopath means you couldn' even consider yourself as not normal.

no

Sociopaths are an urban myth perpetrated by Hollywood.

Read a psyche journal once in a while.

youtube.com/watch?v=yhOKhJaM1QE

made me think of this

it's true, if you've ever wondered

> am I psychopath

then you're pretty much 100% not one

yeah for the exact opposite reason that he stated. phychos know they are not normal. how could you not?

because they're psychos ..

i mean if you don't even know what the word means why are you commenting like you're an expert? nigga don't even reply.

open google right now and read about what deficits a psychopath is supposed to have.

>because they're psychos .
phychos are not dilusional they just lack empathy. how could you not be aware you lack empathy yet fake it succesfully to fit in with people? you couldn't be. youd be full blown autistic if you couldn't empathize and didn't know to fake it.

anyway who cares what categories physiology pigeonholes people into, anything more abstract than chemistry is a joke science consisting mostly of people masturbating over semantics.

>physiology
meant psychology,

how do you evaluate the behavioural differences between yourself and others if you have impaired empathy?

uh duh?

i canz imagine bein sumbody else witout havin the ability 2 imagine bein sumbody els?

when you get in trouble for acting like a sphycopath as a child, thats how.

empathizing is not the same thing as seeing something from a point of view that is not your own. empathy requires that your mirror nerons be active when considering the emotions of another, considering how they veiw the world has nothing to do with this.

even if it did their behavior at a young age would illicit strong reactions, how could they assume they are normal when no one else is hyper violent, etc.

> empathizing is not the same thing as seeing something from a point of view that is not your own

this is LITERALLY what empathy is.

why are you arguing if you don't know anything about a topic? legit.

>empathizing
ok if you wana get technical empathy has multiple definitions so neither of us are right and both of us are right but any PHD would test for real empathy by using an FMRI and looking at mirror nuerons not asking them if they can guess how another person feels.

> empathizing is not the same thing as seeing something from a point of view that is not your own
that is common usage of the word, it is not what is meant when academics use the term. psychopaths know that they will upset someone if they punch them in the face. they understand that people feel like they do. what they don't feel is any reason to care about this fact.

you didn't even read the wiki on empathy before calling me stupid. your low tier.

bump for no reason
