Which I suppose could answer your other question... I have hurt people in the process of other activities. But their pain was never a motivator. As I said, I'm no expert or professional; but there are plentiful explanations for your symptoms of stunted affect, manipulation, lying, & enjoying others' pain that have already been explored in your diagnostic workup. It is stupid of them to add another dx even though the symptoms are already right there.
