I am 17 years old and recently suspected that I am a sociopath. I am not looking for any conformation however your book helped to understand who I really am and has been more of a 'finding myself' exercise as I have always felt detached from society and those around me. Your book mentions adaptations to surroundings. I have had many changes in my life that I have had to adapt to and would be distressing to the average person. I think many sociopaths don't realise they are because of the belief that they are no different than anybody else and through being able to convince themselves of the 'lie' it goes un-noticed. My ambition in life is to be a successful lawyer or maybe a professor such as yourself. I have had no role models I can relate to in my life and oddly I feel as though you may be my inspiration. I love your anecdotes in the book and how you were quite scrappy.
I understand that your identity must be kept a secret and I admire you for publishing the book to help others and all you went through with the blog. If possible I would like to know who you really are purely for the reason of researching your articles and having a name to my role model. I will never reveal it to anyone because to undermine your work is unreasonable and not important to me.
It worries me how many are bent on the eradication of us and so we should 'hide in plain sight' and use our own intelligence to survive. I recently have told those close to me about my sociopathy and they are fascinated. I enjoy the uniqueness and ability to share my accomplishments as one with them. We are faced with a dilemma we crave human interaction and yet destroy it. Like a black hole requiring more matter yet obliterating and consuming it.
I hope you can be of assistance and feel free to class this as a 'book response' on your blog if you wish. I know you like doing it.
Many Thanks
A fellow 'stranger'
I liked this email because I think it summed up the dilemma for the young sociopath well -- people hate you and will treat you poorly just because of the label "sociopath," but what else are you supposed to do? Kill yourself? Everyone has to find some way to live and if there aren't opportunities for youngsters to direct their unique personality traits in a direction that is pro-social, then they are going to find other outlets. With that in mind, I'd be honored to mentor or give advice to anyone who finds themselves struggling with similar issues.
gues what all teenagers are psychopaths (hormones)
ReplyDeleteYes, M.E. we DO need you ! Empath and Sociopath alike! You can be
ReplyDeleteinstructive for both camps.
I , myself am nothing but a "wussy" empath. I don't differentiate much
between empaths and sociopaths because I have been hurt by both.
I attended American public schools in many areas of the country, so you
can imagine what I've been through. Most of my tormentors have been
empaths simply because there were more of them to go around. I did run
into the occasional sociopath-one was a burly character who threw a text
book into my face-but by an large, they were few and far between, Also
I find that a sociopath will suspend judgement about a person until they
can see exactly what the person might have to offer them, THEN disgard
them. I never had much to offer empath or sociopath. Actually, I'm one
of those 50 year or older virgin freaks. When people want to have a laugh
they can read the postings of these pathetic souls.
I found eastern religion. Buddist thought. So I'm not bitter about my
plight. Just like, "The only thing to fear is fear itself." The only
thing negative is negativity itself." If you're not the person you are,
you don't have the problems you have. Like an Indian "untouchable" who
changes his religion, he gains new freedom from his new point of reference. Of course, he can never again associate with the community
he left behind who still views him as "untouchable" but why would he want
to?
"Out there" is only an expession of what's "in here," so that's why I
no longer care about "justice or fairness." They are words only. If my
conception of fairness is when I recieve the outcome I want life might
be fair 10% of the time. How am I suppost to feel the other 90% of the
time?
I have to admit I DON'T like some of the things people post about you.
Perhaps it's the empath in me. I don't like to see a woman being beat up
verbally or physically. I don't like the idea that no matter what
critism is directed at a woman it is always couched in sexual terms like
slut, skank, and three holed wonder. I know that you are more then capable of caring for yourself. But I also know that in spite of it all
you want reckognition and respect. Perhaps I can see this percisely
because I have NOT undergone the typical "development" that most people
undergo.
dont put ur self down sir
Deletemost of the self proclaimed sociopaths who write in this forum are future 50 yrs or older virgins
they just havent lived that long yet
Is ME still a law lecturer? I have my doubts.
ReplyDeleteI am 17 years old and recently suspected that I am a sociopath.
ReplyDeleteHow, why? After you became interested in confessions?
I wonder what anecdotes you liked most, admittedly. I too found some of them interesting.
I have had many changes in my life that I have had to adapt to and would be distressing to the average person. [?] I think many sociopaths don't realise they are because of the belief that they are no different than anybody else and through being able to convince themselves of the 'lie' it goes un-noticed.

Or maybe he is just an INTJ. We tend to be different and quite... detached. He could also have some psychopathic tendencies, some.
ReplyDeleteno body gives 17 yr old the label sociopath apart from the many 17 yrs old them selves so killing ur self wuld be highly exaggerating at this point
ReplyDeleteHope you have better luck than Dexter did...
ReplyDeleteThis guy seems pretty eager to classify himself as a sociopath. You should go to a therapist to be diagnosed before you tell people you're a sociopath...
ReplyDelete"Fellow Stranger,"
ReplyDeleteDid you want M.E. to give you her home address and telephone number too? I'm sure she can trust that you won't reveal this info to anyone.
Hello, I enjoy reading all of your post. I wanted to write a little comment to support you.

My immediate thoughts after reading your post 'stranger' is that you seem eager to let people know that you are a self diagnosed 'sociopath' and that maybe because of this you aren't actually a sociopath at all. Instead just a confused teenager at point in your life where you start to seek answers about yourself and your persona. Maybe I'm wrong which however unlikely would lead me to say that I personally wouldn't dream of disclosing this with anyone; mainly due to the restriction that puts on being able to use it to my advantage. Just like Superman letting everyone know his real identity, or maybe nothing like that but I'm sure you catch my drift.
ReplyDeleteI am gonna bookmark this page, thanks for info. I actually appreciate your own position and I will be sure to come back here.

Very interesting article. I would love to read the book “Start with Why”, by Simon Sinek. I think he has taken a great topic to deal with.

I’d love to change the spell icons, if anyone is willing to contribute art for credit then I will change it asap. I don’t think I can get sued given that it’s for non-commercial purposes but I’m not a lawyer.
