"Do you ever just get naked and laugh at your penis?"
Deep question of the day.
Thanks- I didn't have an idea for tomorrow yet.

Can I use that as my desktop background, Donny?
Go for it. :)
Hmm, it's refusing to load for me at the moment...

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.
I don't think that "sociopath" is the right word to describe you, man. Granted, I've never met you in person so I don't have a frame of reference for that, but if I had to guess I'd say that you're not totally self-absorbed and that you don't manipulate the people around you for your own gain or amusement. You don't seem to have any sort of a lack of remorse or guilt. You seem completely genuine in your expressions of emotion, and I don't think I've seen you recant something you've said you believe or change your opinion on something to suit the situation or the audience... No, I don't think "sociopath" is right at all...
Then again, I don't know, man. I've never met you in person, so I can't infer anything from your body language or how you present yourself to new people, etc. I'm no psychologist and like Morec, it's not my major. But it seems to me that you may have been misdiagnosed.
Also, I'm really not sure how the torture fetish fits in to all of it. That's probably something you really need to examine with your psych.
If you have the time to do it, something that really helped me to put things in perspective was write down all the events in my life (and my reactions to those events) that I believe contributed to my mental health status. Once you can step back from yourself and get more of an outsider's view of things, you can identify your problems and work to fix them more easily. It is a really hard thing to do, but it helps. And by hard, I don't mean that it's just hard to remember everything, it's hard to come to terms with some of the events in your life. But, it's really cathartic. Doing it will help to purge a lot of the negative emotions you have. At least, it did with me.

If you're into crazy patterns that you can look at for hours, look up Adolf Wolfli. I've got one of his drawings as my background and I can just turn on my music and find all kinds of crazy little details in it. The only bad thing about them is that most aren't the right dimensions for a background, and some of them have pretty poor image quality so some of the detail is lost.

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 :(Heh, already joined the Army, and it's made everything worse.
Speaking of which, they gave me a counseling today that tells me they're kicking me out for misconduct, for something I was barely involved in. It's really depressing me.

The following is taken from a recent Facebook post. I just thought's I'd share my brilliance with all of you!
I need followers for my new religion: the Cult of Swaolo.
Basically; whenever someone says the word "Swag" or "Yolo" they are praying to me. Do I answer their prayers? Most likely not, but at least they know I'm there; and if something DOES happen right for them they can contribute it to interference by your's truely.
Good times!
You can replace "Cult" with "Church" if it makes you feel better.
