When psychopaths compare notes

Wow. Just wow.

Here is a quote from one of the bloggers:
“Steal? No. Murder? No. Do I have the urge to murder? Yes; it’s all in check though. I lie and deceive everyday, because I don’t see the harm in it. If it’s done right, nobody can call you on it. Words like “lie” and “deceive” are based on ideas of morality, which I don’t have any moralistic stance on anything. I lie if presented the opportunity – if it’s socially acceptable.”

This quote speaks for itself. I have nothing to say.

It’s like they are missing a piece–a very important piece–that would make them human. They know they are not quite like other humans and they don’t fit in. And they have their own logic, which they all seem to relate to. “If it feels good, do it”. It’s also interesting the projections they have on other people. They think we think murder is wrong only because we don’t want it to happen to us. They don’t get that we actually feel compassion when others are hurt. They are missing a whole dimension to their personality–the dimension of real emotion. I find it very fascinating and something I couldn’t even begin to relate to. I’m trying to imagine putting myself in the shoes of someone who thinks like this. How would I see the world if people’s feelings didn’t matter and if I thought morals were silly constructs that serve no purpose. I cannot even imagine a world like this.

I’ve also been reading about different personality disorders in a book called Bioenergetics. He talks about the body armoring of the different disorders and how their body types even develop in predictable ways. The premise is that if the energy blockages can be released in a safe way, the person can be more grounded in reality. As a massage therapist (and former psych major) I find this all very interesting. The only thing I found myself agreeing with in those blogs is that ASPD’s should be studied so a cure can be found.

Stormee,
I’m curious how you like those 2 books. Ironically, I’m wearing one of my snakes (boa constrictors) around my neck right now. He is the sweetest, most docile animal you could ever ask for. 🙂

Regarding the Bioenergetics book, I have always been very interested in energy, how it gets bound up in the body, and how certain blockages cause disorders. I have been firm believer for a long time that curing any mental illness involves physically grounding the body. That means releasing blocked energy.

According to the book, the sociopath has a rigid band of energy across the waist, dividing the body energetically into two separate halves. In the sadistic type, the energy rises up toward the head and leaves the lower have of the body with a weak connection to the ground. That is why a lot of these people look top heavy (my stepfather was one of these people, and had the classic body type). The energy is displaced upward because they are so preoccupied with ego and control. I’m not sure about the body type of the seductive kind of sociopath. But for sure, if the two halves of the body are disconnected, they can use and abuse sex without having any feelings about it. There are also bands of energy around the neck and pelvis. Theoretically, if these bands of tension could be released and the energy safely grounded, the person could actually recover from their condition.

Hope I haven’t bored anyone too much. I find this stuff fascinating.

I wonder if anyone monitors those blogs and keeps tabs on these P’s. They probably commit crimes and blog about them. Do they get caught from the blogs?
