Confession from a real-life psychopath.

I was diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder when I was a toddler but I am far from antisocial. I love hanging out with people because they are so predictable and easy to manipulate.

Emotional people do illogical things. I don’t like them but it is fun to mess with them. I always know what to say to make people feel the way I want them to, like a game. Hence, my diagnosis puzzled me.

It took me a while to understand that I may be a psychopath and psychopathy is not an official psych diagnosis.

I work in sales and it’s a damn easy job for me. I earn good, well more than 6 figures annually. I am also married but I feel nothing for my wife. I do not love my wife, she is convenient. She’s more like a pet.

I will take care of her till she dies, just like any other pet owner will do. She is in love with me and thinks I am the best husband in the world while I have cheated on her with more than 100 women. Never got found out because I am very careful. My children are also my props. I treat them well, make them happy and they will love me forever.

I am living the ideal life. A high income, a loving family, cute children, and many women but I am bored.

Do you have friends who can’t stop talking about NS and make it their personality?

And this is like 5-10 years after they ORD. Every single damn thing they will relate back to NS. Eating, sleeping, walking surely there’s something about NS that he will bring up.

Even at the workplace when given a task, he will start with ‘Wah shag eh reminds me of NS when…’ and it goes on and on.

When eating Maggie they will say ‘woah this remind me of the time during outfield when… ’.

Like yes us men went through NS but we don’t talk about it every damn time. 30 years old and you still cling on to that SGT rank that you attained in NS like have your life went down hill after?

Do you have friends like this?

• Yes. You will need to send them for civilization course

• Cause that is where their ego is, their only pride in their life is things about NS. They dont have anything to showcase(skill wise) in the civilian world thats why they keep ranting about it

• My group of friends went in the same time as me so its no surprise that they all relate things to their time in NS. But it has been 3 years since ORD and I’m glad it died out.
  It’ll pop back from time to time due to reservice and IPPT but we pretty much get over it and brush it off once its over.
  I can’t speak the same for the friends I made in NS though and like you said, they relate back everything to NS like its their peak in life, and only talk non stop about career progression like there’s no life outside work.

So I started dating this girl, who asked me out a couple of weeks ago but said she has been secretly in love with me for three years but slept with a new guy every night for a few months after turning 18 to gain experience and learn know how to pleasure a boy.

Then she asked me to thank her for putting so much commitment into giving me pleasure.

I don’t mind the numbers but do I really have to thank her for this? I didn’t even know she did it for my benefit until she told me. I never asked her to do it.

For those suggesting STD check, we’ve always used condoms.

• So say thanks and then get tested for every STD under the sun. Your GF is crazier than a loon.

• New guy every night for let’s say 3 months. That’s 90 plus guys. Where did she go to find these guys? The bar?Why do I see Crazy and a gigantic Red flag on this?
  If she was in love with you for 3 years. Why not take on the love experience with you and not the 90 guys. And has she been tested? And retested?
  With being with 90 guys. Is she teaching you anything? Or was all of that a stupid waste of time and human respect?
• She’s deranged. Run

The guy who I like, likes me back. But, But, But, he openly says he is afraid of me. He hates the fact that I exhibit self esteem a way too much and he dislikes this.

So, I met a guy in school who I used to like. At our farewell, he revealed his feelings to me and since then, I am in regular touch with him.

Yesterday, he said that I hold a very high self esteem and he is afraid of me. He said, “it would be better if you slow down.”

I didn’t understand him then, but he called me later on the same day saying, ” You exhibit way more power and I don’t like that. Reason, I never kissed you or initiated any physical gesture. It makes me irk if you show any sort of power. I will not like it.”

Do I need initiate any talk further or should I completely stop talking to him?

I need advice.

Netizens’ comments

• Major red flag. He doesn’t like this because that will make it harder for him to “control” you.

• Stop all communication with this person. Do not make an effort to keep them in your life.And please for the love of the gods heed these words of advice that I never did: “Do not dull your shine to make anyone comfortable”

How to deal with a colleague who sucks up to people with position in the company and is condescending to the younger ones?

Also, how to avoid lunch with her?

I work in a group of 6, all of us hates the colleague because she power trips so badly eg. telling us she reported a janitor once because he greeted a colleague in front of her but not her at the office lobby (wish i was kidding).

Everything she says are mostly lies so we’re very sick of it.

• There’s a saying- don’t wrestle a pig in the mud, you’ll both get dirty but the pig likes it.
  Essentially, attempting to confront her, have an intervention or whatever is just going to result in her stirring up drama, and you’re just going to embroil yourselves at the center of it.
  Just blank face her. If she gives you a lie or condescending, give a half smile and nod. Hopefully, the lack of response will make her not bother anymore.
• She likes attention and reaction in the form of seeing yall face drop, get annoyed etc. It validates her existence so deny her that.
  Don’t react, or give dry, strictly work-related replies.
  Engaging validates her and her perceived/real position and gives her more content to talk about LOL
• Re the lying, you can act dumb and use questions to out her lie, e.g. “Is it? But what about [reference to truth here]?” The objective however is not to force her to admit she’s lying but to show to people around your convo that she is. If it’s just you and her then just grey rock her or act blur.
  Re lunch, just say you have plans. (In my world, plans with myself are still plans.)
