Duplicity – Being Yourself in a Society that Dismisses Individuality
We are taught at an early age to “be ourselves.” This is dangerous advice for the heretics of society. It is no secret that the subtext of such a statement should read “but show no flaws.” Even then, the designation of what makes up a flaw is subject to debate by the masses. Maybe an […]

More on Friendship
I’ve written that too many people have too many “friends.” We live in a society in which we want to classify everyone that we’ve met as either ‘friend’ or ‘enemy.’ Why is it so disturbing to think that there are so many individuals that fall into neither classification? I have no friends. Friendship to me […]

Surrender – Psychopaths and Therapy (Part 5)
I’ve had my share of therapists over the years. I’m convinced that many of them merely listened to me prattle on without offering any sort of educational guidance. As such, I was deeply distrustful with my current therapist at first. I wasn’t in her office by choice; my ex-husband forced me into therapy as […]

Video: Are “Psychopath Survivor” Websites Telling the Truth?
Are “psychopath survivor” websites telling the truth? It’s interesting that so many take the opinions of these scorned lovers so seriously. After all, they presumably do not have the credentials required to confirm anyone as antisocial much less psychopathic. Yet here we are. The prevalence of such websites, books, voice boxes, etc. permeate the landscape […]

Psychopathic Influence vs. Neurotypical Choice
I mentioned my mostly stoic but sometimes incredibly over-emotional acquaintance in a previous post. We were going to move to another city together but that fell through for many reasons, not the least of which being that I realized that he was attempting to use me for emotional support that I am simply unwilling to […]

Controlled Release – Targeted Narcissism
I suppose that there is a difference between internal versus external narcissism. By internal narcissism, I mean the inward acts and thoughts of self-grandiosity and/or vanity. By external narcissism, I mean those actions that project internal narcissism onto others. Internal narcissism without external narcissistic actions seems counter-productive to me. What is the point of being […]

Killing Political Correctness – Reclaiming Discourse
People often ask me what my fascination with discourse is all about. If I had to guess, I’d assume that around 10% of posts on this very website are specific to the nature of discourse. The reasoning is quite simple. In the absence of force, discourse is the only means for achieving progress for a […]

Pennies on Their Eyes – Dealing with Emotional Neurotypicals
I spent this past weekend exploring a town that I was considering moving to. I was going to move there with an acquaintance in the hopes that a change in scenery would alleviate the wanderlust and eternal ennui that I possess. The city did not resonate with me for many reasons, but I bring this […]

Interconnected – Determining Core Antisocial Behaviors
I occasionally get inquiries as to why behaviors and activities such as recreational drug use fall under the antisocial umbrella. The DSM-IV lists one of the criteria for Antisocial Personality Disorder as being (paraphrased) a lack of interest for the safety of others or self. From this diagnostic trait, it becomes evident as to why drug […]

Psychopath Erasure (Part 2)
Today marked an important day in the sociopolitical landscape in the United States. The United States Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples have the Constitutional right to marriage. The weeping and gnashing of teeth as well as the numerous celebrations are plentiful and are not the focus of this post. What segues into the heart […]
