Epilogue

I had never met a sociopath before. Now I have.
Antisocial Personality Disorder is chronic, beginning in adolescence and continuing throughout adulthood. There are ten general symptoms:
not learning from experience
no sense of responsibility
inability to form meaningful relationships
inability to control impulseslack of moral sense Warrior Angels dvdrip
chronically antisocial behavior
no change in behavior after punishmentWar dvdrip
emotional immaturity
lack of guilt
self-centerednessPeople with this disorder may exhibit criminal behavior. They may not work. If they do work, they are frequently absent or may quit suddenly. They do not consider other people’s wishes, welfare or rights. They can be manipulative and may lie to gain personal pleasure or profit.
Emphasis added: 8/10 that I witnessed in three days. I’d hate to see what more evidence I would come up with in 2 months.
Other background info
:
Some examples of this disregard are reckless disregard for the safety of themselves or others, failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors, deceitfulness such as repeated lying or deceit for personal profit or pleasure, and lack of remorse for actions that hurt other people in any way. Additionally, they must have evidenced a Conduct Disorder before the age of 15 years, and must be at least 18 years old to receive this diagnosis.
People with this disorder appear to be charming at times
, and make relationships, but to them, these are relationships in name only. They are ended whenever necessary or when it suits them, and the relationships are without depth or meaning, including marriages. They seem to have an innate ability to find the weakness in people, and are ready to use these weaknesses to their own ends through deceit, manipulation, or intimidation, and gain pleasure from doing so.
They appear to be incapable of any true emotions, from love to shame to guilt. They are quick to anger, but just as quick to let it go, without holding grudges. No matter what emotion they state they have, it has no bearing on their future actions or attitudes.
Ok, so after all this, even if you still think that I am exaggerating… At the very least, bare minimum, she is verbally abusive and has an anger management problem. That’s still not an acceptable way to go through life. I wouldn’t put up with that from a boyfriend, family, or friends. Why should I put up with that from a complete stranger to whom I’m being nice?
