The Honest Psychopath – Warts and All

When speaking of honesty and psychopaths and whether an honest psychopath even exists, I think it is important to discern between a lack of pathological lying and the act of being forthright with the condition.  I do not believe that the former exists; we psychopaths have silver tongues that can spin any story.  I do […]

The Deafening Silence – Being Open About Mental Illness

I realize that one day my efforts to educate on the controversial subjects of ASPD and psychopathy may force me out of areas that I currently exist in.  Being open about mental illness is a choice.  It is not an easy choice.  As I point out in the tweets listed at the beginning of this […]

Are Psychopaths Toxic?

Are psychopaths toxic?  This is a question that I get somewhat frequently.  Others want to believe that the psychopath is irredeemable; that we are pariahs that deserve no human contact.  The answer that I give is that it depends.  Are we talking about the unsuccessful psychopaths that line our prison walls or our more adapted […]

The Wolf Inside – Blurring the Lines Between Psychopath and Neurotypical

The recent controversy surrounding Caitlyn Jenner, the affluent transwoman, and Rachel Dolezal, the NAACP official who is Caucasian but identifies as black, has brought an unholy storm upon social media.  Those that are easily disgusted find that they are appalled at the seeming blurring of the lines of groups held sacred.  The truth is, most […]

Those that are Something They are Not – Forced Antisocial Behavior

After the diagnosis of Antisocial Personality Disorder and confirmation of psychopathy, I found myself wondering if the diagnosis and confirmation were correct.  I suppose some doubt will always remain in my mind as I am highly skeptical of everything and highly analytical by nature.  Such doubts are exacerbated by the fact that I don’t necessarily […]

What Lurks Behind the Psychopath’s Mask?

You think you know me, man.  We’ve had some great times, you know?  Laughing and playing, flirting and dancing.  Yeah man, you think you know me.  You think you’ve touched me, you know?  You think that you left an impression on me just as I’ve left one on you.  Yeah, you think you know me. […]

The Ivory Box – More on Attachment Disorders in the Psychopath

I talked recently about my feelings going into to future relationships.  I know that, as a psychopath, I will remain predatory and that the fate that is best for any potential paramour involves them staying far away.  However, I’ve been wondering about my motivations for even seeking a relationship.  The truth is, no one is […]

Psychopathy and Attachment Disorders?

I’ve had a few readers of late inquire about whether psychopathy could be the result of an attachment disorder.  I’ll have a chance – if I remember – to relay this question to my therapist – who has, in passing, mentioned the possibility to me – in the near future, but I want to lay […]

Psychopathic Alliances Based on Cognitive Empathy

I find it interesting how the empathy of a mass for a demographic can be used to ostracize those that criticize said demographic.  For instance, we have right-winged individuals that immediately turn defensive when religious groups are criticized and we have left-winged individuals that lose themselves when historically criticized groups such as ethnic or sexual […]

The Blood, the Sweat, and the Tears … “Self-Evident” Truths

As many readers have surely figured out by now, I am not a fan of blanket arguments that play on “self-evident” truths as a means for justifying the legitimacy of the demographic as a whole.  For this reason, I am often skeptical of the godlike status placed on marginalized groups by many progressives.  As I’ve […]
