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.

    Ana & Sky, Yea I have friends who send me lots of funny stuff on e mail, mostly forwarded stuff but some of it is PRETTY DOGGONE FUNNY, and Yea, I get probably 100 a day…but this “adult humor” article I thought was so apt for LF as so many of these people who are Ps or just even dysfunctional are NOT ADULTS by far! Not even close.

    When someone who is well old enough to act like an ADULT is still acting like some drugged out frat kid from Pi Alpha Puke you can at least say that they are someone you dont’ want to deal with AT ALL. LOL

    “I read somewhere that it is common for the spaths to prefer screwing people who look like they did when they were in their prime. It’s their way of having sex with themselves, the only person they can truly love.”

    Skylar, interesting comment I am a more masculine, taller and more muscular version of my x-spath. Facially, we are very similar, something I did not realize until I saw pictures of him online, after the fact. We have none together.

    Hens-I really feel like I need to come out to my friend but I can’t figure out the right way to do it.

    Interesting, a friend in another forum in an unrelated discussion mentioned that Asperger’s Syndrome is more common among gays.

    Louise;

    One of the many odd things about my x-spath was that one dating site profiled him as “less sexually experienced” than the average gay male.

    I wonder if he may have some sexual-intimacy issues? Embarrassed by having a small willie? If HIV+, did he get it relatively young?

    Yes the wording of his profiles strongly indicates he was after sex, in particular with a younger guy.

    Dizzy Lizzy – In my opinion you have not accepted your sexuality yourself. It is not necessary for everybody to know your sexual preference, however if you want this gal to be a true friend you must tell her, if she is a good person she will be fine with that. I would hold off on telling her you have desire’s for her until you get her reaction…..it’s time to be honest with yourself and your real friends.
