I mean, I've had a lot of people say I'm a sociopath. But, I forgot what my point was. Oh, and I know you didn't say anything about black people. I'm talking about ME as a black person, not anything you or anyone else said. The idiotic misconception that African americans cant get sick in that way.
And I responded aggressively because there seems to be people who will ask questions like "If you this this this and that, and you said yes to it, then you're not a sociopath, psychopath, narcissist, borderline." Or insert whatever mental illness someone is dealing with. That was an example, btw.

Misunderstandings happen, so no worries there- I am just glad we got it cleared up
. As far as what you said about some people thinking if you do this you cannot have that- there are certain cases where that is true but you are correct in saying in most cases it is not true. This is part of the reason a professional needs to be the one to diagnose you. I brought up the test because you were saying you felt no emotion - and I felt it may give you something to start with, but even that does not diagnose you - it just tells you the likelihood. There are other things that can cause lack of emotion as I said to you just a bit ago - but I felt you were concerned about something that focused on lack of emotions rather than lack of emotions being a symptom. Honestly I have never heard it said that black people cannot have a certain mental health problem. I do hope you are able to find the help you are looking for and I am sorry for the misunderstanding.
