Hello, I just wanted to say I agree with what you wrote for your description. But unfortunately, I have hidden my true self away and put on a fake shell, and only very few know what I am and they are only friends.

@TheInsaneTwin225 Mmm, i can disagree with the friend part. Friend can mean different things. Not just someone you connect to but someone who looks out for you and sticks by you.Even if you dont realize it they are your friend. And you dont have to be 18 to be sociopathic. You can be diagnosed earlier. But anyways, i understand of not connecting to people. I have a hard time at school doing it. I only connect to my closest friends and even those guys, i dont know. I try to care and help them with their mental problems. But whos going to help me?

I could probably relate to your sociopathic friend in many ways. I’m assuming they’ve been diagnosed a sociopath which would make them over 18 and would act in a similar way to me. (Just saying but remember sociopaths are unable to make personal connections so a sociopath is not an ideal friend.) but due to my ASPD which is like a minor form of sociopathy I experience the psycho/sociopath mindset but not to its fullest. I find it extremely difficult to connect with people and even harder to feel for them, my girlfriend is the only person I can truly feel something for but when it comes to other people I just couldn’t care less. It’s a strange feeling that people just don’t understand. Most people can say that they don’t care about someone but I’ve seen some people go through extreme pain and some die and I can’t recall feeling bad for their death or feeling bad for hurting someone of my choosing. Maybe that’s because I’m like a mini version of my dad but since I was really young I’ve always had this in me. I’m stuck between feeling emotions too intensely or not feeling them at all.

@TheInsaneTwin225 It is difficult, because for me, i have to fake everything. Some days i just dont do it and then my sociopathic friend reminds me i need to mask. And also cause of stress and anxiety and im clausterphobic and i cant deal with big crowds. And my school is a big school. So yeah. But for you, i cant really say anything to make it better. You just got to keep going with things until things work with you or you find a way to work with it.
