I'm bored ask me questions, it doesn't have to be related to psychopathy or ASPD. I hand out morally and ethically ambiguous life advice like candy, I'll even let you ride shotgun in the white van.
This is where I share my unfiltered thoughts & opinions about society and life in general, occasionally introspective but always unapologetic. If you do not like what I have to say block & unfollow or start a debate, but you better hold your own.
As this blog states, it’s called “Unfiltered Psychopathy” for a reason, I was diagnosed ~10 years ago with ASPD and since then have studdied the ins and out of it and can argue any side of it, and am extremely self‑aware. However that is not why i have included that in my name. While I sit primarily on the psychopathic side of the continuum and display both psychopathic and sociopathic traits, though arguably predominantly psychopathic. (So think cold, callous, unemotional, and interpersonally exploitative rather than the more emotional, impulsive, and criminal profile other ASPD show.) I don't imagine most of what I have to say to be relatable, if it is great, but don't expect spreading awareness, political correctness or making daisy chains with love & compassion. This space is as what it is, Unfiltered.

“If you had to describe your life with your disorders, how would you describe it?”
U r actually a pretty interesting person to talk to. For real. I really appreciate ur raw honesty, openness, and logic. I’ve been meaning to say this for a while, but somehow never got around to it...
But I also have a new question for u: Do you think psychopaths/sociopaths are capable of showing a bit more solidarity toward their own, even if they generally don't give a fuck about them?
For example, (to make it easier for u to imagine or to push away from something, if there are no examples) if one psychopath talks about not caring at all about some ongoing war, but another psychopath in the group happens to be from that place — could the second one actually feel hit by it? Not out of pity, but out of a sense of ownership or shared identity? Would they show some form of empathy or solidarity in a case like that?
But it’s just an example. There r plenty more of situations to deal with.
Thankss, I think sociopaths are certainly more capable (in theory) of it but i think they'll probably look down on it or push away the feeling that drives other to do that will likely be seen as weakness or some shit like that.
This post was going to be longer but after copious amounts of itterations i think the shortest most direct answer would be to systematically dismantle what we all have in common and discarding what we don't you need to build it from the ground up and just like every plant starts from a seed you need to find that seed. There are many to choose from that could be the right one but would require exploration and experimentation. You would need to both capture and target something in a fundimental primal level regardless of anything else stacked on top, not only that but get them to see it in others. Everyone has a core but inside of that core theres a whole lot else going on.
You need to find out what ties everyone together not sets them apart, and well if you can do that, then you have achived something no one else ever could not even psychiatrists, because fundimentally not everyone is the same.
I think broadly they're capable, there will always be exceptions.
An easier task in my humble opinion would to just skip the ASPD's and target those with traits.
Having contempt for someone or a group of people isnt the same as thinking you have a superiority complex people really need to understand the fundimental differences. If i don't like you; think of you as a waste of my time, my energy, or my resources that is not the same as thinking im better than you that just means in plain terms i have no use for you and i cannot justify whatever the interaction we have going on and the longer it goes on for the more i want to be anywhere else, which causes irritability as you're in a position fundimentally against your will.
Even if i like you and i think we'd get along great if i have no long term vision or goal where you fit into there is just no pull to continue because by very definition it would be aimless & circular. Both thing's end up resulting in boredom followed by stimulation seeking, amongst other things to up the stakes which ultimately lead to instability, toxicity & chaos. Where is the meaning or benefit in that? Calling something ahead of time saves all parties an unnecessary experience.
But no, by default is to assume i think I'm better than you.
ah also forgot to ask: what do u think of ppl that r self diagnosing ASPD? Or those who don’t wanna have any problems in future so they simply don’t go to professionals to get a diagnosis?
I'm not significantly invested in what others choose to do, if they find it helps them and they do more than surface level research or watch a tiktok video on the topic of socio/psychopathic traits/things /how to spot if you're one i have very few qualms with them, by all means power to them and who am i to stand in their way?
learning the differences in intent & motivations behind a disorder will also go a long way.
For others that do care, beyond misinformation i believe its purely about ego and a sense of superiority because they have a diagnosis like ooo so sparkly. You can easily flip that and say they had to be told what was wrong with them as opposed to finding out for themselves maybe they went willingly but again you can flip that by saying they need a professional to help them because unless its for really specific things you can drag an open minded person into the fold and find coping strategies on your own but either way it all starts with practicing and developing self awareness.
I do take issue with people comparing ASPD to ASD as that fundimentally misses the crux of the issue and is a complete failure or even worse an attempt to soften the disorder to make it more palatable to readers. Rarely is it ever by someone with the disorder or who knows someones with it, maybe it's an autistic misidentifying themselves.
The waters of self dx are murky and I can see both sides of the argument.
heya! I got one interesting topic for ya: what do you think about high-functional secondary psychopaths (aka sociopaths) with a controlled-detached structure? would u be friends/partners with ‘em?
(Do u study the subtypes of psychopathy/sociopathy in general?? If not, it may be an interesting option because of the paradox in the name itself, but it’s a real phenomenon anyhow.)
also do u think psychopaths/sociopaths r more likely to develop any other mental disorders or some deviations?
and as for the last… what characters portray the most ASPD on ur opinion? Do u like any of ‘em?
Q1: I think you can be a rainbow coloured butterfly and that doesn't rule you out from being friends with me i think at a core level it comes down to how well we work together and if i can see a future for us long term without ties becoming bittered or soured. I don't see myself as needing anyone else and im notorious for being extremely picky and hard to get close to or even work with, but i don't limit myself to a singular type of person and much rather prefer a broad range of people.
So in short, id want to get to know/understand the person rather than their title. Regrading what i think of them? I dont actually have an opinion i dont think i have met a high functioning sociopath with that structure before. It doesn't strike me as something that would be immediately apparent and could easily mirror Psychopathy.
Q2: I've read about them many years ago but i choose to make my own subtypes from my own experiences its not clinical but it helps me keep track of ways to interact and engage in a way that bridges the gaps in alignment or social style.
Q3: Yes, its a well known fact that ASPD's develop other mental illness/ are co-morbid with other disorders.
Edit forgot the last question:
Q4:
Gone Girl [2014]
Anton Chigurh (No Country For Old Men [2007])
Mr. Inbetween [2018]
I think all of these characters show ASPD & Psychopathy in uniquely different ways and are also quite funny in their own right.
I don't because everything that comes out my mouth for some reason just naturally sound's methodical and calculated even when i have little to no intention of following through with anything, which is a bit of a problem when communicating your actual thoughts as it seems to somewhat irk others around you and potentially cause unwanted problems or questions.
The idea of having to vent to someone especially those that seem to want me to always ends up being a forced performance because they're asking not because they want something for me but because they're feeling inadequate as they have more things to vent about than I do even if i may have more reasons to than them in their mind. Perhaps they assume im hiding things or bottling up more than i actually am.
Sorry like what the fuck is a psychopath supposed to talk like? Am I some how restricted from using certain words, phrases and tones now?
[In real life]
And also that look people give you when you say something that wasn't normal. Like what's wrong with you? Have you genuinely never wanted to know how to dissolve a body without running into all the red tape? To me that's valuable information and also somewhat common sense not to mention trivial.
People are fucking weird.
For legal reasons i have not and have no intention of dissolving anything, but it is interesting to know neither the less.
99% of us do not give a fuck about the word psychopath and the 1% of us who do probably also has weenie hut jr disease comorbid with ASPD or some shit.
If you ever find yourself in a situation where someone is trying to use a checklist to impact your life and freedom, the below might be useful.
PCL-R is widely used to assess individuals in high-security psychiatric units, prisons and psychological screenings. This decides who should be detained and what sort of treatment you'd receive.
The checklist is a constellation of traits which you need to be aware of so as to not score them. Simply. This impacts your life. This is important. Do not allow people to box you in. You may be branded with a label that has a very real very tangible impact on your ability to access resources if you are not careful. It can have financial and social repercussions which will affect the quality of your life. In extremis you may lose your liberty. Avoid at all cost being labelled ASPD NPD or anything of the like.
Narcissism - this one is easy to avoid. Pretend you are shy talking about yourself. Pick a trait, such as having difficulty making eye contact that is easy to fake and easy to spin into a narrative wherein you are so concerned about what others think, but not in a positive or self obsessed manner.
Superficial charm - this one is also easy. Ties into the counter-narcissism narrative quite neatly. Make it so your fictitious trait is prominent (don't overdo it!) In your conversation. This can be shaking hands, unsure eye contact, a nervous twitch. Whatever.
Charisma / outward attractiveness -do not bother with this one. The innate human desire to trust and believe those they perceive as clean/attractive/healthy etc will only help you
Seductiveness -don't try to fuck the psychiatrist
Promiscuity -see above
Lack of empathy - ironically the easiest tell on this one is over exaggerated reactions. Do not grin broadly. Mute yourself. Go for a natural look. Do not overdo the shy/nervous/etc gestures
Feeling of emptiness -do not discuss the void. The void stays in the void.
Sadism- do not discuss. Bonus points if you organically introduce a narrative wherein you express that you feel horror at another's pain with very subtle body language and facial expressions to match.
Paranoia- if it weren't for your paranoia you wouldn't be reading this, and I wouldn't be writing this. By virtue of it being paranoia you won't talk about it with a head snooping doctor anyway.
Suicidal
Self harm
The suicidal x self harm traits are the ones you need to focus on and outwardly display so you may be diagnosed with a depressive disorder, if you are in a situation where they need to diagnose you with something. A depressive disorder will be much less impactful on your life. Of note is that the way you experience self harm and suicidal ideation is different than that of a depressive person. You need to be keenly aware of this. A depressed person does not get sexually excited by the prospect as an example. You will need to do research.
Female presenting people will also have an easier time with this and can afford to get a lot more lax and creative as femininity inherently signals emotional caring etc. in many cultural contexts. Obviously play it by ear, but do consider how you present outwardly. This includes other physical characteristics such as height and build. Try to be an inoffensive stereotype they can easily box in and feel smug that they've identified your "issue".
All other traits must be masked. Do not avoid discussing your past, but do lie about it.
Okay what the fuck is with the narrative that if you have ASPD, are a psychopath or alike you cannot be abused, you cannot be traumatised. In what world does either of those things make you immune from maltreatment and malpractice. Do certain people genuinely think that if you struggle with emotional feeling that means you cannot be hurt point blank?
What's to have an opinion of? It's people venting. Im not active on reddit very much, i came off most forms of social media a few years ago to limit the time i spend online as you can quite easily spend your whole life in front of a screen as the world passes you by.
Is there something more specific or is that the extent of the question?
