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.
Thank you so much. This has been greatly helpful.
