I'm sorry. cry
In fact, I really don't think I'm the type to go to when you're feeling down...
As a sidenote, we've finally identified my personality disorder! I'm a PSYCHOPATH!!!! WHOOOO!!!! All my friends agree, the characteristics describe me to a T. (well, only some of them. For one, I'm religious so the criminal and sexual problems aren't there. However, I've got a problem with always giving out compliments and having outragous split second mood swings. In all, I'm a very interesting person. My problem is that I just don't feel any emotion.)
(read on for more information, if you like..)
Glibness and Superficial Charm (Not really... though I do spit out compliments like rabbits spit out babies...)
Manipulative and Conning
They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims. (My Mom claims I manipulate my grandfather...)
Grandiose Sense of Self
Feels entitled to certain things as "their right." (I don't know about that...)
Pathological Lying
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests. (When I was younger, I had a real problem with this.)
Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way. (totally me. Even if I know I've done something wrong, I don't feel bad about it.)
Shallow Emotions
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises. (NOOOO!!!! Though the feined part is true, unfortunately... And things like deaths or tragedies never phase me.)
Incapacity for Love ( cry )
Need for Stimulation
Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common. (I get bored every five seconds...)
Callousness/Lack of Empathy
Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them. (My cousin always tells me that I never tell her how I feel. I always say, "feel what??")
Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others. (Oh Lord... I've gotten a lot better about this.)
Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency
Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet "gets by" by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc. (I admit it.)
Irresponsibility/Unreliability
Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed. (I don't really do anything wrong, at least nothing I can remember right now...But unfortuanely again, I rarely ever admit to anything.)
Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle
Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively. (Unfortunately, yes...)
Note: In the 1830's this disorder was called "moral insanity." By 1900 it was changed to "psychopathic personality." More recently it has been termed "antisocial personality disorder" in the DSM-III and DSM-IV. Some critics have complained that, in the attempt to rely only on 'objective' criteria, the DSM has broadened the concept to include too many individuals. The APD category includes people who commit illegal, immoral or self-serving acts for a variety of reasons and are not necessarily psychopaths.
THE PSYCHOPATH NEXT DOOR (Source: http://chericola57.tripod.com/infinite.html)
Psychopath. We hear the word and images of Bernardo, Manson and Dahmer pop into our heads; no doubt Ted Bundy too. But they're the bottom of the barrel -- most of the two million psychopaths in North America aren't murderers. They're our friends, lovers and co-workers. They're outgoing and persuasive, dazzling you with charm and flattery.
