I dont get it, how people can be emotionally attached to animals. My dog died lately and because I like dark humor I made even some jokes about it. I have problems with an emotional attachment to my family. Dont even talk about the animals XD
And I am not even a psychopath or sociopath. Only a bit sadistic xd

When a husband of my aunt died, I said to my brother, you know what were his last words? "oh fu.ck, I am dying!!!!" XD
of course my brother didnt appreciate my humor. But you have to admit its a bit funny haha. I like to joke about things thats I am not supposed to. It makes this funny.

Why I have chosen this forum if i am not even ASPD ? Because I cant write about this stuff on normal forums. People are to sensitive. They make posts like "i am worry my grandma will die because of her age" xdd who cares about old grandma, that you see once per week and doesnt contribute anything to your life.

I am just logical and I like a bit of dark humor thats it. The other reasons I am on this forum, is try to improve my english, because i am from Poland, and I am bored.

Hope I can write here what I think and joke about some stuff, that I am not supposed to. Dont take everything so serious my friends and try to be positive even about terrible things.

Anxious? Yeah I suppose I get anxious but it is more of a fun challenge for me than having a panic attack. I respond to emergencies at my current job and I feel so alive when I get an alert on my work pager.

Sad? I just broke a three year relationship and I haven't felt sad. I have memories of good times that I cherish but I don't feel sad.

I think something that really gets me off more than anything is tension. I was watching a movie yesterday with a shootout scene and I felt overwhelmed with a rush that I can't really explain. I produced an entire album of music inspired by tension I created.

Excited? I get excited about things that would make most people anxious. Any sort of confrontation, as an example. And yeah, I see it as a fun challenge. Responding to emergencies would be fantastic. We're talking about something on fire right?

I've never had a panic attack, but I do feel anxiety in a negative sense on rare occasion. Could never figure out why it happens though, so I usually just ignore it.

Of course you wouldn't feel sad. You broke it off. What if your partner dumped you?

Adrenaline! I get a rush, too, but not often from movies anymore. It's fantastic, though.

"Reporter: "Sir, why did you risk your life to save this woman from her attacker?"
Heroic psychopath: "Because I wanted to fight some-- Err... Because she needed to be rescued."

Kid I am mentoring has multiple diagnoses, and I believe one may be aspd. I believe he is actually a multiple (DID) but they often get these multiple diagnoses. Anyway, he is one that would rescue because he wants to fight someone due to boredom. But he isn't lacking in empathy attachments. Would also rescue someone he cared about.

I was tested using the PCL-R at the behest of my psychologist, due to the severity of my Callous-Unemotional traits and some weird things surrounding my lack of a concrete self-identity. I scored high enough to be considered a psychopath. I didn't even know that I had been tested until months afterwards, but the whole test took a lot longer than 5 hours. Here's what I can tell you about "psychopathy," from my experience and what I learned from my clinicians.


There's no such thing as psychopaths.

Depending on who is administering the test and why, you will score differently. The "cut off" points of 25 in Europe and 30 in the US on the PCL, for instance, are completely arbitrary. Even when you take specific studies into account, which have their own ways of rating psychopathic traits, each study tends to focus on a specific psychopathic trait and have its own threshold.

This line between "highly psychopathic" and "definitely a psychopath" is really a construct designed to give criminal attorneys an edge in court. There's debates over whether even well-known psychopaths like ME Thomas, Ted Bundy, James Fallon, and Jeffrey Dahmer can be considered psychopaths.

And, if we're being honest, no mental health diagnosis is really set in stone. They're meant to be used as guidelines for treatment. While they can function to group symptoms together and give you a label for what you're struggling with, it's not as exact a science as you would think.

But, according to Hare, around 1 in 4 people with ASPD would meet the criteria for psychopathy as he outlines it. There are correlations between the various tests for psychopathy. It's not really that psychopaths don't exist as much as it is that psychopaths are hard to really define, even with the tools that we have.

At the end of the day, "psychopath" is just a term for people who are highly psychopathic. Whether one qualifies for that term can be highly contextual, and even a little subjective. That's why AsPD is in the DSM and not Psychopathy.

I don't consider myself a psychopath, I'll put it that way. I think the term is too broad. Some "psychopaths" are highly boastful and vain, some feel some degree of anxiety whereas others are fearless, some are hotheaded whereas others have cold, spiteful contempt. There's too much variety in even diagnosed psychopaths for the word to mean that much. "Psychopathy" refers to a group of traits that make people more likely to fall into criminal recidivism, and not much more.
