Re: Definitely obsessive compulsive, possibly sociopathic.

I don't think you have APD simply because of your desire to help others. I can't understand what is there to be gained by unselfish actions. Why would you care if others get stronger, unless you mean train them to be more useful to you. The way you describe your relationships also suggests that you do feel something for others but don't dwell on it, a logical reaction as there is nothing to be gained by wallowing.

A high intelligence means that you use your logic to understand things as opposed to emotions, you also realise how stupid the rules of society really are as there is no logical basis for so many things. "Social norms" are there to keep the stupid and weakminded cowards ashamed of being human. They also change based on the times so they have no basis on anything.

It's only natural to feel disgusted by weaklings, they are a waste of space, there to be used by others. Our whole society is psychopathic if you think about it. Do the corporations that run the world give a **** about workforce, if there were no consequences?

A good advice is to NEVER get diagnosed with APD. It accomplishes nothing and only labels you as a monster with no morals or conscience. (good luck feigning remorse if you ever do something that lands you in court) I don't even agree with the "disorder" part of it because a disorder suggests that there is a problem, there isn't. If you want psychological help because you think your actions hinder your life, seek it. Otherwise there is no point.

Re: Definitely obsessive compulsive, possibly sociopathic.

yeah. I know exactly what you're going through, Alias. You're not a sociopath.
You have OCD. Your worry that you're a socio is just another OCD worry. What it means is that you are about to come to the realization that a lot of the people you know have constantly failed to live up to your expectations. Hence, you hate them. But good people don't hate people, so you had to find a way to remove the affect from that particular conceit. (The one concerning the fact that so many people are weak sell-outs) So, instead of saying to yourself "people are ****ty, I hate them", you start worrying about whether or not you have APD (and the constant self-checking that goes along with it. I hated that part SO much.) and you say "I want to help these people".

You want to do something that makes you feel good. You claim to be intelligent. So write a book. Paint a picture, compose a song. Do something meaningful. Get into the zone. managing OCD is a really tough thing to do but realize that you are not entirely alone.
