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.

    Those people in London are just jealous because they know the northern England accent is so sexy…hahaha!

    I don’t like the London accent at all.

    Actually, X spath’s accent is Mancunian…from Manchester. It’s amazing how different they are when they are not that far apart geographically.

    Mine is definitely Liverpool Scouse, he even went to the same school as John Lennon and then on U of Liverpool.

    I guess only a sociopath would waste a good education on becoming a flight attendant…

    Hahaha, that’s a funny comment about becoming a flight attendant! You don’t know anything about him anymore, yeah? Just wondering if you knew if he was still a flight attendant?

    Last month I became friendly with a girl who is of all things, a flight attendant. But her husband is a pilot and together they have a good lifestyle.

    I told her about the x-spath and she made a comment regarding his FB profile picture being from the day we met and not changed in over 2 years. The comment scared me because she asked me if he was still alive.

    Thus, I did a little cyber-stalking that I probably should not have done. He is still alive, still a flight attendant, same FB profile picture.

    The dating site profiles I know have not been active in a year, with the same photos in which he looks very young.

    In many ways a flight attendant is the ideal profession for a gay sociopath.

    Of course being a flight attendant is a perfect lifestyle for a gay sociopath or ANY sociopath for that matter. They travel from city to city or even country to country…look at all the people they can meet and dupe!!
