That's exactly what you've done.

So you think that I'm not a psychopath? And that i have only decided that i am? I don't think one can decide to have a personality disorder but i understand your doubting that i don't have it but it would be interesting to know why you think that.

You mean getting diagnosed?

It had positives effects only. And no unlike many idiots who believe you will get in trouble because you are diagnosed with a personality disorder, no, that doesn't happen.

The positive one is self awarness, having more knowledge about oneself and knowing your weaknesses, flaws and also things that give you an "advantage"

The burden of proof is on you to explain why you think you are, beyond a list of subjective traits that can apply to anyone. What objective, qualified justification do you have for believing you are one?

I have no idea what you are, but without a medically qualified diagnosis, you're just another semi-autistic blow-hard hiding from his social misalignment by identifying with the one condition that makes him feel cool.

What f*ckwits like you fail to realise, is that there are genuine people with the condition here and it's a mile away from the verbal garbage you've been sh1tting onto the forum.

@OP: what model of psychopathy are you using to determine that you are one?

Mostly negative. Here's why:

I'm bored every fuking day.

I've had issues with aggression and violent urges pretty much all my life, which isn't always easy to live with, especially when those urges makes you want to kill people, even in public places.

I've been caught committing a number of different crimes, but have so far, avoided jail time.

I've been in serious debt.

My behavior has gotten me kicked out of places (though I personally think they over-reacted).

I've been fired from almost every job I've ever had for being purposefully irresponsible and sometimes for doing impulsive shlt without thinking.

I'm very impulsive in some ways, which has caused some issues.

I often forget that I'm not young anymore and tend to over-estimate my abilities. I often feel like I'm ten foot tall and made of steel, which can make me fearless in situations where my fear response should have kicked in, but didn't. Basically, fearlessness can make me do stupid shlt.

I often lack empathy, which is sometimes noticeable by others (particularly my family). While lacking empathy is not really an issue for me, it does tend to cause arguments occasionally with those who expect me to care more, and that's a problem because it affects my ability to take advantage of them. Mind you, I know how to blend in well and fake the correct emotions when required. I just don't always care to.

Sometimes I get so tired of the act I have to put on for others all the time. It frustrates me. It makes me very angry at society and want to hurt a lot of people very badly.

I'm sure there's more I could add to that list, but that's all I can think of at the moment.

You must have been one of the lucky ones who only got the 'good traits' huh...

Getting diagnosed in a forensic setting will not help you. Most people with AsPD / Psychopathy will be forced into therapy by the court system or by the prison system. Some will attend themselves at a later age when they realize they totally screwed their life. Diagnosis as a psychopath in the court system can actually lead the prosecution to support the death penalty.

My psych eval did nothing but provide the DA with leverage against me while my lawyer attempted to plea bargain with them. Plus it went into my medical records, so no good came of it for me I can say that for certain.

The diagnosis itself had no effect. It was not explained to me what it meant and I had no idea what it meant for over a decade

I don't believe in personality disorders anymore. To me its just a fancy pseudo-scientific way to say "You don't conform to the standards of todays capitalist western society". Its just pathologizing personalities that don't completely fit in with the rest

As for effects of ASPD in my life. I have spent about half my adult life in prison. I can't think of any positive effect that I would attribute to a "disorder" - I am whoever I am, not just a collection of "illegal" behaviors, which is what ASPD is describing
