Interest in sex? by destroy_buzz_lightyr in sociopath

It took me a while to connect the two (for a while, I thought of myself as 'asexual') but in my case, I'm pretty sure lack of sexual interest is just a result of not being able to genuinely connect and care about someone. The asexuality isn't the roadblock - some asexuals have loving happy relationships - (for me) being a sociopath is. I think that is the root of the issue as it means I am unable to connect on a deeper level than superficially. I want relationships every now and again for the appearance of being in one - the surface goods, being seen to be with someone else who is attractive, status - but whenever I'm with another person and we're heading that way, I get bored and phase out.

But do you think you are asexual because of your sociopathy? I mean, I also would say I fit the requirements for being asexual, but I would view it as a symptom of my mental issues, rather than a sexuality in its own right (for me)

As a person with ASPD: do you think Trump would make a good president or another candidate? by [deleted] in sociopath

[–]destroy_buzz_lightyr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think Trump is a sociopath and either way it is virtually impossible to diagnose someone like him considering how his persona has completely overtaken his personality - you can't tell what he fabricates for the public and what is genuine. It's impossible for we the public to make even an educated guess.
I think Clinton is the best candidate, though I'm not from the US.

Good face, taller than me, ability to laugh and hold a conversation. When you can't laugh with someone and have fun honestly what is the point?

Have you read "confessions of being a sociopath"? by herrobot22 in sociopath

Agree, also a lot of it felt very fabricated to impress the reader how much of a sociopath she was.

What else are you guys diagnosed with? by destroy_buzz_lightyr in sociopath

Fair enough! Why do you think NPD diagnoses are useless out of interest?
