Boredom and Antisocial Behaviour

That's a good question. I've no idea. I suppose it depends on the individual. One might simply not care about his own well-being, as long as he gets the high of committing a criminal act. Another might be a more logical, less impulsive bloke who will only go for the goal if he knows he can get away with it. Or s/he might be a Chessmaster or Magnificent Bastard.

Similar to my thoughts. I just wondered about your thoughts on the subject. And it's awesome that you are fond of tvtropes, as well! I read through the site quite often.

Fond of it? I'm nearly addicted to it.

HAHAHAH. It's so weird after being on that site because I tend to use the terms to describe things whenever I'm watching movies, playing videogames, or observing people. The drinking games would be interesting to play if drinking didn't make me feel like absolute hell!

How's the boredom going?

I use them all the time as well. It's quite enjoyable.

It isn't bad right now. It's odd... When I'm sitting alone and bored, I tend to be better off than when I'm in a social situation. Sure, there are more opportunities in social situations. But I don't have to wear that dreadful mask when I'm alone and perform for those mindless sheep. Or maybe it's because I feel less "trapped" when I'm alone. I have the option to go do something when alone, but it's more difficult to escape certain social situations.

Yeah, I understand. It's easier for me to be bored when I'm alone, as well. Haha it's easier to be just about anything as long as I'm not surrounded by people! People act like everyone has to be nice & courteous to everyone the **** else, whether they deserve it or not. Even if someone is having a wretched time or surrounded by assholes... It's a stupid standard & a ridiculous pressure to put on. Even if I could comprehend why I would want to be in an uncomfortable social situation, I just don't see why someone would be happy feeling so confined. So happy kissing *** for some made up standard of decency. I've never been much of a manipulator as I am simply indifferent on the pure basis that I can't stand the presence of a majority of people.

Haha I suppose that's why I write in this forum to begin with, though honestly, as much as I relate I feel like I'm perhaps not quite ASPD. I can't seem to determine whether my love for my boyfriend is genuine or whether it is as an extention of myself, as I've mentioned in discussions with you before.

But, it's good to hear you're not being thrust into vomit-inducing situations as frequently anymore!

I'm a pretty strong advocate of pot-stirring in situations like that. I've gotta drink myself into the fifth dimension to get beyond a buzz, and I'm always the only sober individual. Once something's been set up though, I've learned to put a little distance between me and the disaster zone.. both to avoid injury and as an alibi. Because I was on the way back from the john when the chaos began, as anyone can see.
