Do I understand you correctly?

That said, the evidence is always what lies on the fringe / cliche'd borders of the definition and traits that prove otherwise she usually tries to justify with obscure half-read and misunderstood articles.

I wasn't posting evidence to support it at all. I posted a legitimate scientific article about psychopathy that aligned with my own experiences, and I have done that a few times because why not. It related to the discussion and we're all here to learn about these things.

She tries to show a lot of introspection about her own nature for someone who says that she finds it impossible to be introspective.

I never said I find it impossible to introspect at all. I said I'm not very introspective in real life. Here I think about my behavior more because some questions make me think about it more.

Realistically, she's been told once, and not by a qualified doctor, that she could have AsPD (along with other things that get largely ignored) and the rest of her "proof" is her own understanding and research, again done using introspection which she apparently finds impossible.

/sigh. How do you manage to twist my words around so badly. Seriously.

I was diagnosed with AsPD by a qualified psychologist after being tested multiple times, and he didn't tell me I could have it. He told me I did have it.

The fact she took a knife to the session (which she didn't use) tends to make me think she was trying to get a specific reaction from the psychologist.

I took that knife in to a different session AFTER I had already been diagnosed.

She's clearly had a difficult upbringing, which is probably responsible for her determination to be psychopathic, as it removes the need to deal with any of the negative stuff. She denies that any of that has affected her, but insists that stuff that has happened to others must have accounted for their behaviour / condition.

Therefore, she will enjoy and agree with anyone who supports her desired self-image and argue the toss with anyone who tries to be more reasonable and objective.

My overall impression is that she's a sad and lonely woman trying to find her own identity around an image that she often finds hard to maintain, unless she's here being dark and dangerous in K-mart ski masks.

Your impression of me is irrelevant, especially when you can't even get your facts right.

It was your experience and your words.

Show me where I said this.

I always reacted first while others have stood by and done nothing to help. I've argued that I've shown more concern over their welfare than others

That is exactly what you yourself posted in the past, except I bolded the part that I'm referring to.

You posted that in the thread 'Have you ever felt any empathy?'

I did show more concern because I helped them. I didn't feel concern for them; I showed it.

You showed concern over their welfare. How does that indicate that you weren't concerned for their health and well-being?

Yes, do you really not see the difference?

Ok, at the risk of my own sanity, let's try an example:

You decide that you want to look good in front of someone by being a 'caring person'. So you show care about their welfare. You don't feel care for them, neither do you care if they live or die. In fact, it's better if they die because you get to be the one who is involved in a major fatal incident.

It's the difference between "show" and "feel."

How can you not see the difference?

When someone feels concern over someone else's welfare, they show it, just like you did. They help them, just like you did. If they weren't concerned over their health or well-being, they wouldn't bother to help them.

If you only acted for appearance's sake, then fair enough. I've done the same, but I would never say I was concerned over their welfare, because I wasn't. That's why I believe you did feel concern for them.

I didn't say (never said) that I was concerned over their welfare. I said I showed concern over their welfare.

Has the penny dropped now?

Maybe time for you to revisit this.

The point is you showed concern over their welfare. It doesn't matter if it was more than anyone else has.

Welfare - the health, happiness, and fortunes of a person or group.

That shows more concern than just helping someone for appearance's sake.

You're a f*cking cretin.
