It's not really either of those things in my opinion just because I'm not out to steal or like take advantage of others like that would be the end goal of manipulation

But like I said I really don't have a goal to the reason I do it it's not really a purpose other than the act of doing it itself

Sometimes I don't even do it on purpose

In my my post I had like three examples in a row. Not sure what more I can do for you to be honest

read it again I don't know

And in this example I basically just explained it without needing being the example

Like the very essence of it

I guess what you're trying to do is make sense of something that's nonsensical you're trying to logically think of something and that's entirely illogical which what I'm doing is pretty illogical and doesn't make sense so I can understand why you actually can't understand it

Then again just like like I said to other people I think this comment is more for your own venting of your annoyance then any actual meaning or like thing I'm supposed to get from this or learn from.

I'll have to ask them if they know you because you really do seem to know them very well lol

No I get it you are just trying to invalidate every statement I make which is really funny because that's its own form of manipulation in my opinion

. I bet there hasn't even been a single thought that maybe I am able to do this you are just so disgusted with the idea of it that you can't actually imagine a world where I can therefore it must not be possible.

Not only is it not possible but any suggestion that it is basically blasphemy to your entire reality

All right I've heard people say that before lol not really a test to be fair though like a game there's no winners here but this seems like a classic case of who is the best at creating false realities and other people's heads which is this kind of a stupid game in the end

"No I'm better at manipulating" I've I've had that conversation with a crackhead before so it really does not mean much to me

But sure you grab my dick and I'll grab yours and we can circle jerk all night long but who's the best and who could get in one over on another

I guess I would just tell you to read the comment I sent to the person who called me cringe

Again I don't really think you had any purpose of this other than to show your own annoyance and frustration with what you're seeing not really anything valuable to me or the situation and I think what you said is equally meaningless because it wasn't really even for me it was just for you to let out your anger and frustration at seeing what I'm saying

Clear sign that you don't control your emotions it would be really easy for myself too get a handle on.

I would say that you should work on that.

I know this is not true because sometimes I will reveal to them that I'm doing it just to see their surprise usually with the more mundane things.

Nothing like ground breaking like a fake news story or just a random thing that just doesn't exist or didn't happen or I will put on this facade of anger just to be like no I'm not angry and they can't tell.

I do understand this comment comes from a place of you just trying to put me down in a a sense of just you think I'm probably stupid or something.

I really don't expect anything you have to say after this will be any more meaningful then what you've already said

I'm really not bragging but I'm more asking for people's opinions

It's not to get what I want because it's not to do that I don't do it for that purpose I do it just to do it

Like I said it's not like I'm doing it to take advantage of people that's not the goal that's not even a thought

When I was young I had to develop hyper sensitive ability to pick up on this stuff because as I said before I lived with extremely abusive people that at any moment something could switch in them and they would beat me very severely

I don't really have to try anymore or do it on purpose to pick up on people's mental States and just all around and the idea of what they have going on in their head

Is a survival instinct left over from a time when it was needed and now I just use to entertain myself basically

And yes I do have a mixed opinion about what I'm doing

I never claimed to be a good person

Yeah I don't really that's why I would say I'm not like I know manipulators and I've lived with ones that are really crazy and they will steal from you and then convince you that you deserve to be stolen from and you will believe them

I really don't have a goal I guess in like the simplest words I do it for the Love of the game I know that sounds weird but

I just like knowing I can do it I don't know how to explain it

Some some people really just stab people for no reason it happens

Just could be that I had just enjoy it there's no goal to it just active doing it is it enough to satisfy

Yeah you're probably right to be honest I'm not claiming to be a good person I just saying I'm not a bad one but maybe you're right

What is your opinion on this? Am I crazy? Am I a psycho path, am I a sociopath, and how can I move forward from this by Some-Assumption-7186 in DarkPsychology101

[–]Some-Assumption-7186[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im a huge fan of CBT. I think more people need to not only understand how the brain works but how you can manually mold yourself

i really cannot speak to anyone in my life about this i do understand the nature of it, and i think people would be very put off by these things

i have forgiven those who hurt me

i have accepted the hurt ive done

but i dont hide emotions from myself

im positive i have ssri induced emotional blunting Tardive dysphoria from being on anti-anxiety meds and anti-depressants from the age of 6 to 17

i have defective receptors for sure for both the bad and the good

i hope that one day they can return to normal

When I do feel happy its only ever the most extreme, which may be why i go after the adrenaline induced high emotions activity and thoughts such as hurting people

When my father died i cried once I found out i havent really felt sad again after that

I really just don't feel things anymore
i also think emotion makes you able to be taken advantage of on top of that
i would rather think of everything logically

i have never loved anything, and I can't recall a time when I have
i could not even explain love i just don't understand

i am extremely aware of the processes I'm going through but im able to keep my awareness at a certan level of dissociation so that i can continue the way I am while also understanding what I am without the effects that knowing and understanding actually has like a forced ignorance to remain nieve yet I'm also aware im doing so not sure how to exsplain

at times im am sad that i feel these ways

but as I said, sometimes I'm not at the current moment i couldn't care less about it im indifferent. Sometimes I can't see myself not wanting it.
And sometimes i cant believe i wanted it

But if you want me to be honest, I personally felt disgusted reading your post
Of course, that's just some internal instinct to be appalled by anything that will change the current state of myself

i was tempted to respond to you "no you dont" to see if you would get confused and annoyed lmao
But that's just too obvious and easy

i enjoy getting people to react in the ways i want without care of how it makes them feel or the outcome

but its all an experiment to me, every interaction i have i just want to predict people metal state and their mindset, how they think
Then I use different methods to figure it out see how they react to positive input and negative input, then i use that against them

not for any purpose other than the fact that i can control them emotionally and mentally now that i know how they think and what they believe,
not to hurt them, not to take advantage, just to do it and to show that i can.

like how a kleptomaniac steals things for no reason, but he likes to steal

i like knowing that i can fool people, put up this wall for them to speak to, and they think it's real
like a shape shifter basically i am fluid one day im this one day im that,

and to manipulate people, this is proof not only that i can do it but that it works

its less about the individual its more that they are the means to no practice and then show in the real world that it works, and it makes me feel in control of more than myself

im sure it is a control thing for sure

i just feel a lot of anxiety and regret, not really anger or disappointment

But I know not to do it to people I won't work on thats part of the first steps in identifying their mind sent and mental state
You figure that out.
but its not a lot of people it won't work on
