So my psychologist diagnosed me with antisocial personality disorder...
Sucks, man. Have you been prescribed anything yet?It's a character disorder, so you can't treat out with medication. :/
Do I strike you as a sociopath?
No, not by what I've read from you in some of the threads here in the past. And if your fiction is any indicator, you're completely capable of compassion and empathy.
And no meds, eh? Ah, well, it's probably for the best. Medication can be hit or miss for things like this. I know that when I was taking anti-depressants, I started having suicidal thoughts. After my psychologist stopped those, he had me start doing natural, non-prescription treatments. Deep breathing, cognitive therapy, etc. Helped a ^&*!ton more than meds ever did.

I liked talking with my psychologist.

. Don't even have to know what Touhou is to experience the sheer awesome of this (keep in mind this is essentially GBA Fire Emblem).

No, not by what I've read from you in some of the threads here in the past. And if your fiction is any indicator, you're completely capable of compassion and empathy.Yeah, the weird thing though is the way I switch back and forth between morally upright compassionate guy and the guy who feels giddy obsessing about torture.
My psych said that there are a lot of sociopaths who are good people deep down, but their difficulty in connecting to people can result in destructive behaviors.
I don't know if I agree with his diagnosis or not. It's not difficult for me to imagine how a person might feel about something by imagining how I might feel in the same situation, and I suppose that's what empathy is, but there is obviously something quite wrong with me too.
Blech, growing up is hard enough without having do deal with a destructive torture fetish on top of everything else. >_<
Not to, err, put my business out there or anything >_>... This is one of the few places where I have friends I can talk to, unfortunately.

"Antisocial Personality" does not mean "evil". It just means, like you said, you can have trouble connecting. Could it become destructive? Of course, EVERYTHING CAN! The difference between those who become murdering psychos and those who are fine is one simple word: "Willpower".
As long as you know you are in control, that even if you can feel an urge to do something wrong but you know you can supresses it before you act on it, THAT is all that matters!
Don't take my word as anything professional, though, I'm not even Majoring in psychology, let alone have some background experience with it. It's just my way of looking at the world.

Well, luckily psychopathy and ASPD aren't synonymous. It can be hard to shake the feeling once one has been diagnosed though. There are objective tests for psychopathy or you could seek a second opinion if you're really worried.
Also, I am of the opinion that there are neurological differences which lead to extraversion and impulsivity, namely more
amygdala matter
. According to a teacher (no cite) joining the army or fire brigade is usually constructive for people with such traits.
Edit: Also, oglaf is down :(
