I've got a quick question for the people that frequent this board. How many of you are Mental Health professionals. I'm not necessarily looking to see how many have a graduate degree, but I am curious. Why do you post/lurk on this board? What knowledge have you gained from doing so? How do you intend to apply this knowledge in the field? Since I've no way of knowing for sure, I'll take you at your ...
So I've heard this phrase before, but never gave much thought to it. Until- there I was, lurking on another forum, and someone had posed the question: "What is your deepest, darkest desire?" I thought about it for a while, and the conclusion I came to was that I can not think of any deep or dark desire that I really have.
Anything I want, I am pretty open about. And it seems (at least ...
In just over 2 years i have taken over £20,000 off my wife because i am too laszy to work, why should i work when she looks after me.

For those of you who have seen American Psycho, this will be easier for you to relate/understand. (THE ENDING IS SPOT ON)

Since I'm new to this online community I'm going to leave my obligatory introduction post here. Feel free to read or disregard it at your leisure.
My name is irrelevant, so feel free to call me Avariciousness, or Greediness, A or even G if antiquated language feels a bit unwieldy on the tongue. I suppose that it might be safe to say that I am an as yet undiagnosed sociopath, though as I understand it ...
To the topic though, out of all of the psychopaths, sociopaths, antisocials, serial killers, and generally predatory people in the realm of fiction, which is, in your opinion, the most fun? Lets see how obscure we can get.
Mine would have to be Colonel Hans Landa from Inglourious Basterds (not because he hunted jews but for his personality and his style) Dr. Gregory House from House M.D. (for his wit and his views on god and life itself) Dr. Hannibal Lecter (for his class and style) Kenpachi Zaraki from Bleach (for his sheer insane love of battle and pain)
I find that people in general are extremely good manipulators when it comes down to it, however, they seem to do it like on auto-pilot.
