Yes, there's all that. And my parents are a big factor to why I am. They are a huge factor. But it would be irresponsible for me to take no blame for my personality disorder and it would be very PD thinking to blame the world for my problems. That's what a lot of people with personality disorders do, they blame the entire world for their problems. They try to rationalize their behavior with this view that the world is out to get them. My old psychologist told me this and she told me it was refreshing to see someone so blunt and not blaming the world for every little thing. I don't have the time to wallow in self-pitying behavior.
I blame where it's appropriate. Obviously it's somethings fault I have no empathy/remorse. If it be genetics or no one teaching me. Either is plausible.
I realize there are problems in my behavior and to be quite frank I do some of them because I don't give a **** about other people. And to be honest there are some parts of me I don't want to change. I see no reason to.
Taking ownership of your own behaviors and admitting you like some of them is a good step in my opinion versus well you know maybe I wouldn't be like this if mommy didn't do yadadada.
