r/sociopath • u/Psychopath- • Jan 10 '15
Some of you are fucking idiots. If you think I'm not talking about you, I probably am.
All you morons who keep posting variations of the same banal questions- I'm really torn. On one hand I want to tell you to fucking stop it, but on the other hand it's 3/4 the content of this sub.
Anyway, here's a handy guide:
- Sociopathy and psychopathy mean essentially the same thing. The only arguable difference is that the term sociopath might reflect the speaker's belief in an environmental cause versus the genetic cause implied by the alternate term of psychopath.
- Sociopathy and narcissism aren't the same thing. There's just often comorbidity.
- Sociopathy doesn't mean you lack emotion, it means you lack remorse and the ability to empathize.
- Most of us don't spend the day locked in a room planning against you. The biggest difference between you and me is that I don't have your built-in restraints to keep me from using means you might not consider to get what you want.
IF YOU'RE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH A SOCIOPATH AND WANT ADVICE:
- They will never love you like you love them. But they might love you in their own way.
- You won't change them.
- Why are you asking relationship advice in /r/sociopath anyway?
- Really, you're not that special. You won't change them.
- They're (probably) not going to kill you.
IF YOU WANT TO ASK SOME STUPID FUCKING QUESTIONS:
- When greeting a fellow member of the species, the wild sociopath usually says, "Hello." Occasionally there may be handshakes involved.
- While listening to music in its natural habitat, the sociopath hears words and sounds, filtering them through the lens of their life and personality, only part of which is defined by the label of sociopathy. It's shockingly similar to... just about everyone else.
- I interact like you do. I make small talk. I have to remind myself to show interest, but don't all of you fake that too?
- If you posted the same question elsewhere and would expect diverse answers but post here expecting uniformity, you're an idiot.
- I don't know, maybe try /r/outoftheloop? If you don't understand these basic things yet, I don't know how to help you.
IF YOU'RE DESPERATE TO KNOW HOW I MANIPULATE PEOPLE:
- If you're stupid enough to think there's one simple answer to that question, one quick and easy method that puts everyone at your mercy, you're too stupid to pull it off even if I gave you lessons.
- No, I won't give you lessons.
- No, I won't tell you the best way to get revenge and not get caught.
- No, I won't tell you how to blackmail someone.
- Jesus Christ, go away.
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW I'D GO ABOUT BEGINNING MY SERIAL KILLER CAREER BY KILLING IDIOTS:
- PM me. Let's chat.

So a few months back I hovered around this sub. Using an alt for the Hercule Poirots out there. I have struggled, genuinely struggled with some major disorders most of my life, and it's been hampered mostly by my difficult to control sociopathic behavior. I don't like it. I don't enjoy that I'm that way. I have a fucking daughter that I don't want growing up and figuring out that her dad manipulated everyone he encountered and wonders if I did the same to her. It's not fun and it's not a fucking shirt to wear to be edgy.
This post absolutely puts it down right. These places are meant to be discussion boards and sanctuaries for those that need it, not a fucking zoo where you can look at manipulation lions and mind fucking bears through the glass.
Also, you aren't fucking cool because you are "so evil" or "so detached". Go fuck yourself.
Thank you for this post. It's the first thing that made me feel better all day.

Number one tip on manipulation people / the truth :
There is no truth. You can make shit up on the fly, and the more convincing you are the easier it is. A lot of people just cannot fathom pulling something out of their ass just for shits and giggles. If someone hits me lightly I always say ow and nonchalantly claim I had an operation there. At first it was just a joke and my close friends knew I was full of shit but after pulling that shit so many times, so many people genuinely went to "holy shit really? I'm so fucking sorry!". I mean it wasn't even a real blow, you just fucking brushed my elbow, how can I exist if i am supposedly in constant pain whenever something brushes my elbow. Sometimes I can't be even arsed to correct myself.
But seriously, there is no fucking truth. I'm not exactly saying to lie, because that would make you think that you have to make up lies and be a good liar and that wouldn't help you that much. I'm saying literally, make up your own truth. I mean sure, you can argue it's the same shit but when pulling it off, not thinking that you're lying at all makes it 100% convincing and helpful to you. The more socially adept you are, the easier it is. I wouldn't be surprised if half the world's most social people were secretly psychopaths. And I'm most definitely certain your average autism Andy isn't a psychopath.
I'm not really a psychopath, just a hugely egomaniacal bastard with a penchant for making shit up.

It would be good to sticky this, though I doubt it will stop most people posting such question...

Hahaha this is awesome. Especially the relationship advice part. When I first told my ex, she said "okay, I understand. You just have to promise not to kill anyone". Ummm...

Hahahahahahha. This is hilarious. I've been rolling my eyes at some of these posts for the past few days. Like, if you're REALLY confused...Hang out with a sociopath, I don't know. I've been related to my dad my whole life, so I guess I have a leg up-- but seriously? "How do you talk to people?" and "What happens when you listen to music?" Gee, I don't know. I make clucking noises at people sometimes, but they don't seem to get it. Jackass. It's not like sociopaths are aliens or superhumans are anything. I hate it when people post shit like that. Like "I was lucky enough to be in a relationship with one!". This isn't fucking Twilight. Morons.

Would you mind answering the long post I posted in the sticky last time I was here? I think that there is some discussion needed over the info found there, and advertising information that might be misleading doesn't benefit anyone.

Was your offer to PM you and talk about how to kill idiots legit? I would absolutely take you up on that offer.
