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.

hens;
Of course those are reasons I feel sorry for him…
MoonDancer
Thanks Lizzy _ I still have thought’s of him coming to me and telling me what a mistake he made …….boink boink…. I have my own skillet now – Oxy’s is worn out out….

Hens-she could be one of those come out late in life-I guess it’s possible and sometimes my intuition thinks she is, but I have been wrong before. I wanted to tell her tonite but she’s cranky, so it’s not the right time. Tomorrow she is leaving town for a few days to go see her mother for the holiday. I wanted to tell her before she left so she’d have time to process it away from me. When she’s cranky-no way. I really just think she needs a soft place to fall. She is SO uptight-but I’m alright with that now because I’m used to her. She has loosened up though, a lot around me.

Hens-he didn’t make a mistake, he just didn’t know what he had-spaths aren’t too bright sometimes. Mine was a MD and he could be stupid as hell.

Why is it that one has to ‘tell her’? I don’t tell people im hetro?
Why can’t it just come up in conversation……like one gal I went out with, or another gal I was in a relationship with yadayada……
Why does it have to be like a pregnancy…..and announce it?
Bottom line, you’re not ready for ANY relationship on a romantic level……whether she accepts your sexuality or not.
It seems like your putting way more effort into this sexuality thing than you should be? Just my opinion.
Let life floooowwww. Bond with the friend based on friendship alone…..that’s it.
I see this as drama creeping into your life…..and you know how much you are drawn to drama.
STOP IT!
MoonDancer
alot of women come out late in life – and I may be wrong but I think it has alot to do with being with abusive men….tell her soon Lizzy…
MoonDancer
EB – I have never been to a Hetro pride parade either ~! You hetro’s think it is so easy to be normal…WELL guess what – we aint NORMAL……..hetro’s dont have to worry about being rejected or KILLED because they like sex with the same sex…we dont flow like you do OK?

Hi Hens…..I don’t want to crush you or anything…..but i’m not gay. 🙂

Hens:
I am teary eyed. My X spath at first had deep eye contact with me and told me all these beautiful things, but then about the third time we were together it all stopped and he could no longer look at me. Something obviously happened. And even when he was deeply looking at me, it was still mechanical if that makes any sense.
After reading what you said and thinking back, mine was the same way for the most part. It was more his back to me when we were spooning with me holding him; he needed that apparently. There were times when he was the one behind me, but I can’t even remember if he was touching me. That’s bad I know, but geez it was about 17 months ago. I “guess” he was touching me when I was facing away. I remember his leg being over mine once. This is making me think that he couldn’t get close to anyone because he knows he is so damaged. He’s been with his wife for a long time, but I am sure he sees that differently. She is the mother of his children and they have built this life, but I think he keeps everyone else at arms length even though he is pulling you so close into him, but then he pushes away.
Yeah, so your post made me sad for you. They are all jerks. They just don’t know what they had with us. Or mabye they did; maybe they were afraid of it and ran? Who knows.
Thank you so much for talking with me about this.
