    Haha, that's funny. I'm not too fond of it, myself. That never seems to work for me.

    Like what? What do you have in mind?

After my last suicide attempt and put on emergency disability, I kicked my own ass into gear. A hell of a lot of self behavior modification and an iron vise on my emotions helped me. I don't do anything I 'feel' like doing. I do what's right for me and that seems to work. I don't always want to do it. I want to just smash into a truck at time still. But I don't.

    I would listen to Thal. You have years before you are who you really are ever going to be. Don't write yourself off.
    Oh I'm not. I just know how I think, how I act, feel, and what I'm going to do. I'm just tired of faking stuff, y'know? I mean, my mind and how i think isn't going to change, I'm jist exhausted. Back when I was younger everything was a lot worse. I didn't have control over myself. I stole hundreds of dollars from my Kin, blew it on B.S., used to fight all the time, steal, have issues with the police, set stuff on fire. I'm a lot more in control now. I just get tired of holding myself back and acting a certain way.

    Not sure if that is because I do not feel anything,I just have never felt like mourning like I see others do. I will say I have never felt like I belonged anywhere(Stranger in a strange land thing)
    Everyone reacts and deals with grief or death differently.

    Sure, that's normal, I guess. Being upset and all that shiz. My lack of morals or the fact that I don't feel guilt or regret is another thing. Couple that with a low emotional range. Makes an interesting cocktail.

Our deep dark sinister other self I think it is considered.

    Our darker angels,as compared to our better Angels .

    Just my wondering mind..as the year wanders to another ending.
    Evil and good are perspective based.

    It still won't make a difference. Children born like that isn't going to change when they hit their 20s, so. I wasn't born with it, but still. Sometimes I'm content being like this, other times not so much. Some are diagnosed at 19.

    I've already talked to a Psych. Recently, actually. I have to wait until I'm a bit older to be diagnosed with ASPD. I'm too "young". But he's already told me that I have ASPD but am too young to get diagnosed with it officially because my brain isn't done developing. Ive been like this for years. It isnt going to magically change from the time it takes me to turn from 17 to 18.
