Those all make a great deal of sense. One & two especially are things I've always known/actively done mysself.
That's probably why it pisses me off so much when people ask "Do I have ASPD/psychopathy" & then turn it into a contest of how violent or twisted they are. I mean, good for you & everything, but there is a lot more to full cognitive functioning than how often you want to stab your grandmother in the kidneys.
I think it's the separation from emotion that allows for fully interpreting situations where someone is disadvantaged or in trouble. That doesn't mean one's obligated to interact, but it doesn't imply it's not plainly clear.
And I personally think generosity comes forth best from a place of selfishness... Selfless people have nothing to give because they are already at everyone's disposal mentally, fiscally, & emotionally. There's no point in giving when you really have nothing. I saw a study some-****ing-where in which they determined that people more likely to give help were people with fewer moral constructs & were less likely to think with their heart instead of their mind.

*shrugs* And your anthem ****ing blows, by the way. Hahaha

What you've stated all make sense,

and yes, it bugs me when people try to contemplate if they have ASPD or not because a few key characteristics were conspicuous when they were self-scrutinizing themselves like twats.. I've seen it on the Psychology & Mental Health sections of Yahoo! Answers numerous times, there were so many questions flaring up relating to it that you wouldn't be able to exert your knowledge to educate all of them. Even if they had it, they wouldn't give a flying ***** so why are they asking people for some form of approval?

I can't say that I have not been altruistic before, I've helped multiple people multiple times because they happened to be at that place at that time where I was present.

An old lady at the supermarket asked me to carry her trolley and her groceries to her car in the same parking lot my car was in since she thought it'd too much for her, I did it, mainly because I could and I was going there anyway to leave.

I've witnessed a fight between 2 adolescents near the playground that was right off the beach then another dumba$$ decided to be the bigger dumba$$ and jump in so it was 2 against 1.. I calmly broke it up by segregating and yelling "Get off the kid you talentless twats!" and told the kid who jumped in that he was an idiot and they walked off, all in different directions of course . Again, I did it because I could, I wouldn't of cared if the kid who was ganged up on would've been injured, but as you can see, I prevented injuries from occurring.

If it didn't piss me off so much, it would be hilarious. I truly think so. It's fun to poke fun at other attention-seekers, but these ones annoy me more... The impression that they are invulnerable is probably the issue. It's ****ing delusional.

I'd rather not be around people if I can help it, myself. But if I'm around & not doing anything particularly interesting? It's really not any extra effort & doing said action isn't really different from not doing it. Take psychcentral for example. I'm here mainly to waste time & ***** about my problems because I have nothing better to do. Helping people is a good way to fill the gaps of time.


Hahaha two birds with one stone!! Or rather, two twats.

Do not be pissed; there are too many ASPD wannabes.. just laugh.
The people who question if they have ASPD vehemently speak like they WANT to be one, it's almost like they are checking off everything of the Hare-21.

Just be proud we have our fans.

Hahahaha very true!! But I suppose it's easier for them to become groupies if they actually DO have emotions they are attempting to escape from. How cute!

Anyway, I'm going to totally stop spamming this thread with my idle conversation. I am ze resident threadkiller.

Think maybe it is because you lack the idea what you "can" and "should" do. Most people think they actually cannot do things social norms dictate they don't do. Like they are physically unable. For people not as bound by social norms, stepping up to help isn't that hard, even if it's not to get a warm, fuzzy feeling like "I helped out, I'm so good". Still, you cannot argue with results.

I don't even bother with them. If someone has it they'll they won't be trying to have a **** measuring contest for who has the bigger murder-boner. I help people, I counsel people, I donate to charity, and give to the homeless, I do favors for friends, I also threaten self entitled twats who think they can say and do whatever they want to people just because they hide behind a screen and I'm a misanthropist. If you're unsure about having the disorder, you most likely would need a diagnosis, as being something and WANTING to be something are two entirely different things, and you might have an entirely different disorder or combination of disorders.

I haven't been officially diagnosed but every psychologist I've been to knows very little if anything on the topic. I know I have it and don't need validation, and honestly all I'm here for is to have something to do, have an outlet for my frustrations occasionally, and pick up tips on self discipline and how not to be self destructive, and obtain information. And maybe find some cute chicks around my area who'd be dtf, ya never know XD
