Am I a sociopath?
    #23676661 - 09/25/16 12:39 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Follow up on my post "Should i see a psychiatrist?"

First off I get pleasure in stealing stuff for stores. Small items, mostly anything i can fit up my sleeves or in my pockets. I would never steal from a friend, but I have no remorse or regrets toward or even feelings when stealing from walmart. My friend said I need help after I shit on this dudes car. I had to take a shit and i saw a nice car, don't know exactly what it was, but I had to take a dump so a went over and shit on the floor scraped it up and smeared it all over his windshield. I thought this was amusing and my friend told me I needed help. Anyway I often have thoughts of killing people that anger me, and these thoughts spark no emotion except motivation and a sick drive. I always carry weapons on me, knives, knuckles and occasionally a karambit concealed as a necklace. if someone got in my face I would probably slash their face open. Should I get help?

Not only are you a sociopath, but you are a pretty dumb one too.

The best kind of sociopath is one who can be honest about it.

I assume the kind of help you would get would be to accept and get used to the idea of who you are as well as how to become aware of your behaviors and remain responsible for them.

Why yes, yes you should get help, and probably soon.

You don't want to lash out at someone, and do something where you will be incarcerated for a long period of time, get the help you need before things get out of hand.

The very fact that you care about the opinion of others (as made apparent by you starting this thread), proves that you are not a sociopath. Sociopaths are people who lack any connection between their own values and feelings of well-being, and the values and feelings of well-being of others.

The fact that you would even potentially seek help as a result of others believing that you should, suggests that you harbor some ability to share the values of others. You've disproved your own concern (of being a sociopath) in the very process of expressing said concern.

I guess that's true, there's a fine line between being a total asshole and a sociopath though. OP is apparently just a giant douche :lol:

I don't think you are a sociopath. Just a frustrated person. It's impossible to say but your issues could ease considerably over some years, kind of like most people. Thinking of killing people is common, if you don't actually do it. Young Klepto stuff is common, but I recommend you stop doing it before you get  caught. Shitting on cars is beyond my range of knowledge, but if you stop doing that,  again, I don't think you're a sociopath.
    If you keep this shit up you could  wind up in jail or prison, but you could easily straighten out. You might need some counseling, but I am not seeing psychosis in your description,

You should stop wasting people's time who respond to you. I just wasted some with this. Your words remind me of the middle school kids I used to see as a counselor, so you can't be too much older than that. If you actually ARE out of high school, you have other significant problems to be concerned about besides Antisocial Personality Disorder. Except for the occasional rapper misusing the word, actual sociopaths don't brag to the public about being mentally ill. However, there is a certain histrionic, attention-seeking syndrome that can characterize internet trolls.

Sometimes there are sub-clinical narcissistic personality aspects as well as histrionic traits. Whatever you're doing here isn't really a serious concern or a serious self-inquiry because diagnoses can't be made on-line even by a mental health professional (let alone by lay people). So you're essentially just being obnoxious by writing outrageous things to get a rise out of people - exactly the definition of an internet troll*.

If you actually ARE doing disgusting and criminal behaviors, you might eventually be diagnosed as a mental incompetent which doesn't sound as cool to the adolescent mind as psychopath does.  It might not be accurate either, but you'll still go through life with a paper trail that doesn't say you're a badass, just stupid and disgusting. :lol: That'll happen if you get arrested and you're evaluated by some low-paid jailhouse psychologist. [S]He is not going to diagnose you with Antisocial Personality Disorder (sociopath/psychopath) for the kind of things you write about, but something way more embarrassing will remain in your rap-sheet for the rest of your life. :rofl2: I don't know if you've actually taken a shit or are just full of shit, but in either case you need to clean up your act. :yesnod: My .02¢. You asked.

I talked to a psychiatrist at the Center For Mental Health today, and was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. Yesterday I started hearing voices again (I usually hear voices when Im on something, but don't think much about it) I got prescribed aripiprazole 5 MG as a starting dose, and i have to check back there again on monday at 11:00. I was diagnosed because of my frequent stuttering, auditory hallucinations, and because of my delusions that I'm a sociopath. The thing is I can't drink alcohol now, or smoke weed or, well, anything basically. The psychiatrist told me that my native american heritage puts me at risk for substance abuse, and we checked my family records and found out that my grandmother nahna was a paranoid schizophrenic that had been in and out of psychiatric wards. I now have to participate in group therepy and have to go to a facility for a week, called hilltop adolescent treatment unit. They say I need to come up with a treatment plan, and  have to participate in anger management. My parents took away ALL my knives, and my brass knuckles, and I had to talk to a crisis team, because of my homicidal delusions. Anyway thanks for the help, I see all of you in two weeks after this shit show goes down.

Your psychiatrist is a racist. You should bring this up with human protective services.

No really, Indians are more susceptible genetically to addiction than many other races.  They have awful problems with alcoholism on many reservations, and unfortunately Indians are more susceptible to diabetes as well.  It's legit.

I'm sorry to hear the schizophrenia diagnosis, but that does not mean you're a sociopath (have Antisocial Personality Disorder). It may be a provisional diagnosis if they prescribed an atypical anti-psychotic like Aripiprazole. That is a medication that one should not be kept on for very long periods of time because of its neurological side-effects like Tardive Dyskinesia. Auditory hallucinations are symptomatic of schizophrenia, as are delusions (not sociopathy). I treat stuttering with hypnotherapy, and that is something that is not connected to your recent diagnosis. In my experience and training, stuttering often is the result of childhood trauma - (not being allowed to cry or talk, or being forced to talk). Perhaps most disturbing are 'command hallucinations' which are auditory hallucinations, voices, that command you to do violence to yourself or others. So, you are much better off NOT carrying concealed OR open weapons, especially given the way cops are killing even unarmed people - especially people on medication!

People take drugs either to self-medicate their pain, or for novelty, or to explore the mind. You are in a unique position to experience the novelty of your condition, although I'm sure it's not necessarily pleasant a good deal of the time. You are still able to arrive at insights about the nature of mind. Your response here was lucid, with no bullshit, so IF you are able to keep a journal of thoughts, feelings, voices, visions, and delusions, you will be less likely to ACT on delusional thoughts (and getting arrested, hurt by cops, hospitalized or jailed). I hope you remain lucid throughout your upcoming therapy regime, and consider creating a journal of your journey for yourself and others who want to understand your trip.  :peace:

Bro, this sounds like what happened to me when I was a teenager. Best of luck - I've managed to get to 35 without killing anyone.

No, the psychiatrist is not necessarily a racist, he is correct statistically speaking. There are in fact a genetic predisposition to substance abuse among certain cultural groups, BUT it has not been unequivocally proven among Native Americans. Statistically, the rates for alcoholism among Native Americans is six times higher than the general American population. There are higher incidences among some cultural groups (with correspondingly different genetic markers for addiction) than others. This has been observed since long before DNA was known, but attributed to other factors (like moral depravity, which was clearly wrong), mostly cultural. But culture and ethnicity are not causal, genetics are.

"What researchers have found is that alcohol is broken down and eliminated differently in Native Americans than in other populations. So far, studies have found a variant of the ALDH1 enzyme that is encoded by the ALDH1A1*2 allele and a variant of the ADH1B enzyme that is encoded by the ADH1B*3 allele. However, the genes that have been identified in Native Americans are associated with a protective effect and do not explain the high rates of alcoholism in the tribes investigated." - http://alcohol.addictionblog.org/is-native-american-alcoholism-genetic/

So, Markos logic: if I feel solidarity with another white person then I'm a bigoted piece of scum because there's no such thing as race and I'm literally the next Hitler.

But if a psychiatrist says that someone has a racial disposition to alcoholism then race is totally real and genes have a significant impact on behaviour and we can talk about it freely and sensibly.

Total hypocrisy. No wonder no-one here takes you seriously.
