A 24-year-old guy described himself in an Internet forum: He doesn’t feel emotion, is an excellent liar, becomes bored quickly, and experiences an adrenalin rush when deceiving or angering someone else. He asks, is he a sociopath?

I’d answer yes. The post is an interesting insight into how a disordered young man perceives himself and others.

Read Self-diagnosing sociopathy on the Dr. Robert forum.

    Nah, I just checked the NOAA weather site and it said we don’t have a snow ball’s chance in hell until wednesday and then only 20% which means NO WAY JOSE! So unless the weather forecast changes drastically, there’s no chance we will get more than 1/4 inch this month which we already got.

    Aw heck, you mean I was just entertaining the people driving by our house for nothin’? I was rain dancing on the garden tractor while mowing the lawn.
    Grass is growing like weeds here right now ‘cuz it just finished raining about 4.5 inches a couple of days ago.

    Hope2heal,

    You are just being mean to me, it has been so long since it rained here I’m not sure what rain feels like any more! LOL

    I’ve only mowed the lawn 1 x this summer because it isn’t growing enough to make it worthwhile to mow again.

    Well, I”m gonna go take me a power nap. Nothing going on anyway.

    Oxy ~ now wait just a darn minute there missy! I’ve just been outside making an arse outta myself doing a rain dance for you. That’s mean? LOL

    Enjoy your nap. If the rain dance works, you should wake up to the sound of rainfall. 😉

    Oh, I thought you were doing the rain dance for yourself and you had gotten 4.5 inches because of it…Oh, I am soooo sorry for not seeing what you were truly sacrificing for me. 🙂 Thank you so much, but I hate to tell you, it didn’t work….101 again today. 🙁

    Boy did I ever take a power nap, for like 3 hours and I could still go back to sleep, this heat takes it out of you.

    Oxy,
    Is it also muggy where you are? I melt like a wet noodle in the humidity. Hope you get some relief soon.

    Oh well… I tried. And you would NOT believe how much traffic goes by this house on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Harleys by the 100’s, not to mention all the nice old cruisin’ cars. It’s amazing!!

    101 is just too darn HOT. 🙁
