- Was there anything that happened in your childhood that may have contributed to the way you are today? If yes, what was it?
Well, I grew up in a war zone and I've been abused pretty much every way possible, I've been held at a gunpoint by my own father more than once (for simply disobeying his orders)...
- To those of you with mental health issues, why do you think you are the way you are?
Nature and nurture.
- Do, or did, either of your parents have mental health issues?
Yes. Father has BPD and PTSD. mother's has NPD. Father's father is a sociopath. All of them formally diagnosed. Obviously, if I have a kid by some miracle, he/she is going to be the Antichrist.
- If you have a strong desire to commit violence on a regular (or fairly regular) basis, do you think you have the violence gene (mentioned in the article I linked above)?
Quite possible. I mean, it would be almost shocking if I didn't have it, considering my family's gene pool.
