Self-diagnosis via the internet
And now I think I'm a psychopath. Awkward.

Hey look at the bright side, at least you don't think you have autism. Irritates me whenever I see another self diagnosed "autistic".
|
But if you truly were a psychopath, would you care? No guilt, empathy, or remorse....I don't think you'd be bothered by it.

Okay this is too much
"Even the faintest or most fleeting notion or inclination to forge a check, to steal his uncle's watch, to see if he can seduce his best friend's wife, or to have a little fling at fellatio, is by no means unlikely to emerge as the deed. The sort of repugnance or other inhibiting force that would prevent any or all such impulses from being followed (or perhaps from even becoming conscious impulses) in another person is not a factor that can be counted on to play much part in the psychopath's decisions." My troll sense has been tingling for some time now but having a "little fling at fellatio" is supposed to be repugnant to an ordinary person? |
That same description can be used to describe simply an extremely impulsive person, which could fall under who knows how many other definitions. Hell the lack of factoring in other people could fall under autism. Thats the problem with self diagnosis, far too many things share far too many symptoms, and rather than go through the strenuous process of deducing all the factors down until you have one possible diagnosis, people just diagnose themselves on the basis of one symptom.

Yeah I read through a healthy chunk of The Mask Of Sanity. It was apparently written in 1941 but there's a 1982 edition which is apparently still relevant to modern psychiatry. Read almost like a sensationalist pamphlet at times.
The problem is with the whole "psychopaths are normal people who lack emotions but simulate them brilliantly" is that you can accuse anyone of that and how is anyone to know about comparative depth of inner feeling? "Well it's not they lack emotions, but they lack remorse". I can't say I particularly feel remorse for anything I've done in my life. Is that abnormal? Do I understand that other people have emotions? Yes. Do I understand it on a deep emotional level rather than simply an intellectual one? What does that even mean? Does the fact I need to ask mark me out as psycho? I check a lot of other boxes for it but yeah diagnosing yourself on the internet. |
You yourself used the word "self-diagnosis" and you're still taking this shit seriously?

You're not a complex man if you're simple enough to freak the fuck out of a self diagnosis on the internet.

OKCupid confirms it
Your result for The Psychopathy Test ... True Psychopath You scored 13 on Emotional Detachment and 18 on Chaotic Lifestyle! Congratulations, you are both emotionally detached, and you lead a chaotic lifestyle, which may indicate there's something seriously wrong with you. A combined score of 30 or more on this test supports a diagnosis of psychopathy. You are likely to commit, or already have commited, a crime. Stay away from knives, guns etc. although with your brilliant and versatile mind you will probably think of a dozen other ways of hurting whoever you feel like hurting. Rock-solid proof right there. |
You're trusting a dating site for accurate psychiatric analysis?*facepalm*
I'll bet $100 Alan is going to facepalm too. |
I'm pretty sure y'all are being trolled.
Again. |

Nope, no he didn't *scrolls up again* Well that's sort of an implication I guess. I feel no remorse. Wonder if I'll make the 7 minute edit window? |

I'd deliberately find another thread to post in just for that if your forum weren't so dull.

Update: I just got done watching Hannibal and I didn't appreciate it when dude kills and maims, so I think I'm alright.
|
Ha! This was my score! So with a little more practice I too could be a psychic.
You scored 16 on Emotional Detachment and 12 on Chaotic Lifestyle! Although I kinda liked this part of the test: If your combined score is 20 or more, you have a mind of a true criminal. If your combined score is 30 or more, you have a mind of a psycho Finally I'm a badass. But now I think I've signed up for a dating website as a guy in his late 60s.. |
I have a confession: every now and again, one of Elystan's posts amuses me. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day...

Self diagnosis pisses me off since everyone seems to think they are fucking bipolar. Diagnostic criteria is much more strict than anything you'll find on the internet for ANY kind of mental health disorder.
