Yep, especially on here, quite a few times by people. I think there are people on here that genuinly think I am a psychopath or a sociopath, although I highly doubt it.
Some times offline was when this group of guys were being a tad offensive and giving the mouth for no reason (I simply walked past them, done nothing, said nothing, just walked past). I ignored it and walked off with my friend and then they kept shouting, being rude, etc. So I stopped and told them that if they want to continue the discussion, I'll wait where I was standing and they can come to me. They fell silent and one of them done the big "tough guy" walk in the other direction, putting his hoodie up and so on, like a douche. I asked them (shouting because there was a bit of distance between us) "Where is your bud going?" and they responded "To get more people"...Even though they had about two to three more people in their group than I did with me and my friend...So, anyway, I jumped off of the railing I was sitting on and told them "Well I guess I don't have much time then" and started walking towards them. When we were in clear eye view of one another with a bit of distance between us I pulled something (not saying what) out of my belt and kept walking towards them. They immediatly jumped up and asked/shouted "Is that a _______", and I responded "Mmmhmm" while still walking towards them while my friend was still at the spot it started at. So, immediatly they started scurrying away and one shouted "You fucking psycho!" and I responded with "Aw, ta, I'll take it as a compliment". They all ran off and then I went back up to my friend and then he said, jokingly "Yeah, you're deffo a psycho" and we laughed and kept walking to get out energy drinks like we were originally gonna do.
There have been other times but I already typed out a ton as it is.
I get that sometimes but I'm an aspie which seems to explain my problems with empathy. Most mental disorders have overlapping symptoms and are labels that should be saved for the top 1 or 2 percent of people who display those problems. Everybody has psychopathic, autistic, schizophrenic, etc traits but it's only when you have them so much they should be diagnosed.
My husband calls me crazy all the time. He says all women are...he is just an asshole sometimes!
My ex and his family follow me and consistently and interchangeably call me those things, and I believe it is because we had crossed each other and I am not the sort of person who can take any disrespect if I don't believe I deserve it. When this happens, I have a heck of a temper and they were on the other side of it. I have never been called either of these things by a medical or mental health professional, just by people who I clashed with.
Many, many times. I have no empathy, I'm terrible at saying or interpreting anything "deep", I sound insincere all the time, and I'm a compulsive liar. (I'm not a diagnosed psychopath or sociopath)
My parents had me tested when I was younger because they thought I was a sociopath -_-... I'm pretty sure my mother still does.
Not yet, but I'm sure I would be called one if more people knew I hated babies.
I have a pretty delayed guilt reflex. It takes me a while to feel guilty, so I was labeled a sociopath.
Yes, but the guy is/was a bit unstable himself so I'm not really sure how to take it..
