Oh, er...I'm back!

Postby Cadence Risa » Wed Jun 15, 2011 11:22 pm

Well, I totally fell off the face of the earth, due to laptop issues then just plain forgetting to rebookmark this and not being able to find it again. Meh. I fail so much, technology wise. XD

But, my alters have been...stable until this week. Mainly because of the coming holiday. Now, Edward's being more snappy than usual and Kita's more depressed than normal. So that's never good.

I've also figured out that Adonis has a lot of the 'symptoms' of being a psychopath. ...That scares me a bit. Here's a list of all the factors, the bolded ones are the ones that fit him:

Factor 1:
Aggressive narcissism
Glibness/superficial charm
Grandiose sense of self-worth
Pathological lying
Cunning/manipulative
Lack of remorse or guilt
Emotionally shallow
Callous/lack of empathy
Failure to accept responsibility for own actions

Factor 2:
Socially deviant lifestyle
Need for stimulation/proneness to boredom
Parasitic lifestyle
Poor behavioral control
Promiscuous sexual behavior
Lack of realistic, long-term goals
Impulsiveness
Irresponsibility
Juvenile delinquency
Early behavioral problems
Revocation of conditional release

Traits not correlated with either factor:
Many short-term marital relationships
Criminal versatility

Ack. Mind you, I wasn't hunting for this to match them to Adonis...I was looking it up for a fan fiction I was thinking about writing. D: I also think he has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, or something close to it. I've thought that since he came out though... I'm more bothered by the Psychopathy.


So what if I am a psychopath? And I so am not a Narcissist, it's not my fault people are drawn to me.
-Adonis


Ugh. Great. Now he's going to babble about how wonderful he is. -_- Good going, Kris.
-Arista
Kay, seeing how we switch and do actually talk, we'll color code ourselves: Kris (The Host), Edward, Jasper, Arista, Rein, Sycamore, Kitaro, Fiametta (Who only speaks Italian.), and Adonis.

What my Alters look like in the mindscape

I'm new here, but wanted to say hi!

Is Adonis someone you can talk to your Therapist about? (Excuse me for assuming you have one.)

It's good that overall you and yours are feeling stable.

What sort of fanfic do you write? I like to write fanfic too.

-waves- Hello!

Sadly, we don't have a therapist. Despite being almost twenty, if my mother found out it'd be bad. He's been kept inside a lot though. -shudders to think what he'd do to her male friend if he got out- Strange thing is, despite him being homosexual, he only targets men.

And yeah, we'll still be stable-ish till Saturday. Then, if I'm not out of the house and distracted it'll be bad. Same with Sunday.

I write Criminal Minds fan fiction only so far. I am working on some Dr. Who fic. XD

I understand about not wanting your mom to find out. When I was between jobs, I temporarily was staying with my dad and did everything I could to not have him find out I was in counseling. The counselor and I even had a written agreement that she was not allowed to call me. If she had to communicate to me then she would e-mail me, and I had a friend who drove me to the sessions which was definitely appreciated.

I think this is part of the protection that my system is giving me. I can't remember dates at all. Even my own birthday is difficult for me to rememeber. I didn't realize what date it was until you pointed it out, and despite the fact that the holiday is a big one at the place I work (for some reason the CEO of the company always gives the employees a reward for the day). E pretty much keeps all my dates and helps me to make sure I have my shifts written down for work and my doctor's appointments taken care of.

I used to write a lot of Star Trek fanfic. I'm a geek. :D

My mother isn't the most...understanding person. :roll: I have a feeling if I get too bad though, my one male friend that I call whenever things get bad, will make it so I can go. -shrugs- I did try to tell her once, but Jasper took over and fixed it. That was when my time loss was still really bad though... Oh well. XD I'm just worried about this now. I knew he was...odd, but I never really thought of it being this bad, because he was the secondary protector.

I have issues with dates too. I dunno why, though. I remember my birthday, my parents' and my aunt's (only because it's 9/11.) I don't even get my sister's right, and no idea any of my nieces' and nephew's. I just chalk it up to being horrible with anything number related. And with major holidays, I do get the depression weeks before, but I never know why until I start hunting. Which really sucks.

Being a geek is fun! XD
