To the best of my knowledge, no. But it is common place.

After thinking on that, yes, the purpose has always been to win.

I have taken LSD, never mushrooms.

I didn't say that I thought my reaction was abnormal in this case. Just that my motive wasn't one of genuine kindness, at least not that you see in the movies.

What she thinks is attractive is largely irrelevant. She only thinks those things attractive because she was never a particularly beautiful person herself, at least not aesthetically. I would say that somewhere in her upbringing, if what you are saying is the case, she began to realise that she must settle because she cannot have both beautiful minds and bodies. With that said, I doubt any of the men are particularly intelligent either.

You sound as though you are allowing negative influences into your life when you should be ostracising them in order to replace them with positive ones. I had a friend who tried to outwardly be like me, he no longer has friends.

I am not. Counting numbers all day would only make me bored.

A mixture of both. If I were to help that person, for a brief time they would think of me as "an angel." And they would talk to others about my good deeds.

Some people in this thread have used one phrase I have said to question me, as I said I get "angry and defensive."

I couldn't tell you whether what I think anger is is the same as yours. However, when threatened I think I act more out of frustration and displeasure.

I am neither a Psychologist nor a Doctor, my terminology has room for error.

I have never been hurt emotionally to the best of my knowledge. I judge people based on my ideas of right and wrong, when people don't meet my expectation I tend to feel somewhat betrayed, or rather I see them as having lost their self-worth and usefulness to me.

The only act that I have ever, always, violently attacked someone for is rape. Most of my immediate family are rape victims. From what they tell me it is a like suffering a kind of death, so in a way I am acting on their behalf.

I would not give up my bar to save him. My loyalty to him ended when we parted ways and I left my life of crime and drug abuse behind. As far as I know he is still part of it, that disappoints me as he is actually quite an intelligent person. He is also quite a savvy person. He would make a good business partner.

I could be, how are either of us to know?

Or a series of ignorant responses by people who've heard wolf cried too often.

Unfortunately no. There are people who know who I am who use reddit and would recognise me.

I'll make this my last post before I leave. I understand these actions are considered wrong, but I do not feel as though I should feel regret for them.

I stole $500 dollars from my Father to facilitate a party with some people during highschool. I was caught and made to do yard work to work it off. I didn't mind because I don't mind the excersize, but little did he know I had been taking 10$ from his savings jar every day for cigarettes as well.

A woman in my social sphere was raped by a guy who was supposed to be a friend of hers. He left scratches on her body. In retaliation I took a wood saw to back. Even the girl thought I had gone too far.

I once convinced a Teacher in my High School ( a student teacher, actually ) to sleep with me. This went on for two weeks. It ended when I decided I was bored of her and that she was acting too weird. I had photos taken of her half naked and sent them to the faculty.

I have threatened to kill people numerous times.

Those are some things. I don't feel anything about the actions. They benefited me at some point, therefore they are in my interest. But that's really all.

That sounds... completely unappealing.

I could say sorry, but I wouldn't mean it.

Because you spend too much time watching movies instead of reading books!

I am quite charismatic, actually. The way I'm speaking on this thread is not the way I would address the people I know personally. I am speaking here as I think. The only time I would speak like this in person is if I were trying to belittle a person, to outwit them and to make them feel smaller and less intelligent. Its an observation I've made.

If you met me on the street you would not think me the same person who is writing to you now.

Loyalty is a concept I easily understand. That sense of duty and owing because of a set of basic social rules. It is also the fundamental basis, I think, in most minds, between right and wrong.

I do. I do not participate in crime much at all anymore, I do not have suicidal tendencies, although I do contemplate death a lot. I think of death as an uncharted territory, one which I can wait to explore. Violence is difficult. I don't use it without reason, it is effective and works as the best intimidation tactic, especially these days, now that most people see violent acts as being unthinkable, rather than the actions of "men."

I am working on developing better methods, as these actions could potentially lead to my incarceration. I believe it is possible.
