Is the movie 'A Clockwork Orange' a good study in psychopathy?

I've been cutting for the last 3 years. It started off where I'd just get something reasonably sharp, for example, a pair of tweezers, and rub it against my arm hard until it went red, and hack at the same spot until it cut. But, because I was scared of blood, I would never go deep enough to bleed. Instead it would sortof swell and water. I did it on my forearm, noowhere near my ...

I am quite tired of listening to medical nonsense, so I would like to ask you: when you cut, do you feel the urge to write words upon your skin with the blade you are using?

I do. I write things like "evil", "venom", "cursed", "unclean". If you ask me why, I will not be able to explain: all of a sudden I know I must do it, and when it is done I have ...

Hi guys. I`m Robring Guth from Poland. I`m a psychologist. I like to help peoples and to post at forums. I like this community very much but I don`t know anybody yet. I hope somebody will welcome me. :)

Is this common? Sometimes I just feel like destroying a relationship with an enormous burst of power. Relationships that either bore me or I perceive as unhealthy in some way (ie - Female Friendship, Lecherous friends, Altruistic people... seriously... please tell me how my lungs are going to look after 20 more years of smoking again).

This might be a bi-polar thing, for I am diagnosed BP, but what happens is I take all the ...

Heh, it's rare for me to ask for advice around here, but this is actually one topic I can't ask my friend, since it's about them.

If I were to name my 6 closest friends, a year ago 4 of them would've been single like me. Now I'm the only single one left, and it kinda sucks. A few of them are dating each other, which means I get to lose two single friends in ...

I'm curious; including my email account, there are only six or seven websites I visit, on a reoccuring, regular basis.

What's your average?

It seems like for only approx. 4% of the population to have AsPD there are hundreds of them online. Would an AsPD affected person be more likely to be on a forum discussing topics centered on the disorder, or any other website on which AsPD is a central focus? I can only speculate. But as far as I see it, there are alot of noobs, including here, who are "sociopaths" that go about trolling and ...

I keep old cell phones along with their chargers in a drawer for donation purposes. I had read that battered women's shelters refurbish and reuse these phones to give to the women (most with children) that are going out on their own.

Due to the fact that HPD husband has no job; the expense of a cell phone for him is needless.

However, in recent months I've noticed an old cell phone on the kitchen ...

Is it common for histrionics to hop from relationship to relationship? When I pushed her away, she didn't chase me at all. She cut all contact and ignored my attempts to contact her. I've really only read about histrionics chasing you, but are there some that will just run away to another enabler?

She started getting serious with me within a week of things going sour with her previous guy. We dated for a few ...
