In you’re daily life do people praise psychotic people or behavior? Most of the time I feel like I’m a psycho that has to work with general public. It’s not like I’m aggressive, I just decide that how a stranger feels doesn’t matter as much as whatever I need.
They’d care i think. They also tend to be very narcissistic. I think it’s a spectrum in the sense that there are a number of traits or behaviors they exhibit, so you might have some traits of one, but then again most people do. And even if you have more than average, that doesn’t mean you dont have some other trauma or disorder that can account for that. Like aside from you putting yourself ahead of others, which most people do they just don’t say it outloud, what makes you think you’re a psychopath
Cool actually getting positive support and attention. When I first got to Lemmy I basically shared my story about how called out a developer to gauge their response to see if I should move onto another project. Short story is I basically formed an angry mob against me that persisted for like 2 days because they didn’t like my methods and that I’m confrontational to them as well.
But if say what makes me think I’m a psychopath is that I regularly go online and figure out how to trigger and put ideas into people’s heads and put down people. Like it’s a hobby. I start with politics and people make it personal and it’s like I’m anonymous person on the Internet, your politics suck and you did these horrible things(racism, classism) and displayed mental illness(like staying angry and obsessed)
I dunno you do sound pretty toxic. Maybe they formed the angry mob because of the things you say to them? The fact you’re trying to elicit negative emotions from them just because you’re bored is pretty telling. I wouldn’t be proud of any of this. It doesn’t make you edgy or cool. It just makes you unlikable and difficult to work with. I’ve been around for long enough to know someone like you doesn’t last long in the work place. They move from job to job and never really go anywhere in life because they frequently get ran out or fired. This sounds psychopathic in the sense that you are being sadistic and dont really have any long term thinking. Really seems like sadism just for the sake of it. If you want to go far in life, you need to be willing to reign this stuff in a bit and work in a team environment. Not sure what methods were unpopular but maybe it’s because they are ineffective. If they are effective, maybe you should swallow your pride and just accept that things will be inefficient compared to what you want them to be. Either way, you get nothing out of being shitty to people other than the satisfaction of getting under their skin. This is what I mean by psychopaths being dumb. Sure they have an uncanny ability to do shit like this, but they ultimately fail at everything they do because they don’t have long term thinking. I’d look at improving upon yourself so you don’t end up losing your job or something.
