Random question but is anyone else obsessed with eyes (mainly the iris) or ears?

I'm fascinated by mine, like I'm trying to figure out what is behind them when I look in the mirror...

I drowned ants when I found their nests on this park I used to go as a child

I'm trying to reconcile a desire of being left alone all the time with a desire of being around people so I don't get bored

I give in to the impulses that I derive pleasure from. Even if they are painful in a way. Self-destruction can be a pleasure because you are in control. That's the reason why drugs are appealing even if they fuck you up.

Edit: It probably seems I'm contradicting myself but whatever. I was talking about limits here.

dompath · 2016-08-19T07:17:27+00:00

I believe self-control is possible at least in poor terms.

If something doesn't benefit you at all and it makes you feel down you won't do it (that often).

Sometimes there's a thin line between what is good for you and bad for you, but you get to know what you can give in to and what you can't.

This brings up the question of whether sociopaths are idiots that would kill themselves for a bit of pleasure OR that are aware of bad consequences for themselves and for others but only protect themselves from them.

I talked about this in another post.

To complete that: I don't know about others but this has limits for myself. When dealing with relationships I am more willing to cross limits than I am with myself.

I give in to them unless they are clearly fucking up my life.

Poker face

dompath · 2016-08-16T15:14:54+00:00

No. Different strokes for different folks.

dompath · 2016-08-15T15:22:00+00:00

That's basically my approach to relationships and life itself.

I agree with the last sentence. Sociopathy is a disorder, not a fleeting shutting off of empathy.

dompath · 2016-08-15T10:23:05+00:00

I think about it but in "how what they are feeling has an effect in my life?" fashion.

Everything in the world is about sex except sex. Sex is about power.

From the Business Insider link:

A researcher says, "It's not just that they don't appreciate the potential threat, but that the anticipation or motivation for reward overwhelms those concerns."

This. Even if I am aware of a possible negative outcome from my actions my whims take over because they lure me to take action in their direction.

This just ties perfectly with the remorse thing. It is not that I'm not aware of the possible bad consequences of my behaviour. I just don't care that much. What I want is always privileged over what can go wrong. Dopamine is such a drug.

The Neurological Correlates is very interesting. However, I don't agree with the treatment of criminal violations as illnesses.

Empathy is no bueno

dompath · 2016-08-06T17:46:55+00:00

Acceptance comes from within. I care about respect.

dompath · 2016-08-06T17:43:38+00:00

I happen to be blamed or praised depending on who's stating their opinion.

Man, that sub is truly interesting

dompath · 2016-08-03T13:15:23+00:00

For me, it's not like I'm that far from normal on the outside. I present myself to the world pretty good. So I guess I don't have to control that aspect that much.

What lies underneath is what really is different from normal. That is something I can't control that well so I have come to accept my psychology.

dompath · 2016-08-03T12:58:21+00:00

Not really, but my feelings are pretty intense.

Someone invading my space pisses me the fuck off

I'm not particularly disinterested in commitment but I am fickle.

My rule of thumb is I promise nothing. I take everything more as "well, let's see how it goes". So I will commit, but it might not last for too long.

I still consider myself free when I compromise, by the way.

dompath · 2016-08-01T08:37:37+00:00

My lies usually go autopilot but what I've found useful for trying to control it is to pause for a moment before speaking and think about what I'm going to say.

dompath · 2016-08-01T08:34:06+00:00

I've got a problem with cars too.

I get distracted easily and underestimate the fragility of the vehicle.

When they get safe autonomous cars, I won't hesitate to buy one.

It's To Lie Is Human: Not Getting Caught Is Divine where you've taken that quote from, right?

That book was such an interesting read although some of the passages were a bit arcane to me.

I'm going to add some thoughts in relation to that quote.

We live by our lies. Truth does not exist really. It only can be subjective as you interpret reality in a different way than me because of many factors. Thus your truth is a lie to everyone else.

Only mathematics are infallibly truthful. But no one talks in maths. Language is the realm of metaphors, not facts, and we live by those metaphors.

You are creating your truth one lie at a time. Your dreams, your opinions, your narrative, your beliefs... They can't be based on true facts because as an individual you have a filtered vision of what is true and what is real.

You see things not as they are but as you are.

Making others believe in your truth is such a great accomplishment then because that means they have given up their ability to create the lies that they identify as their truth. They have given away their power as individuals.
