Good for you. You may be an asshole, but it's your own fault and you're proud of it!somelameshite said:
As for me, I've got 2 of them, and I find that anyone who doesn't have any of these is highly suspicious, and probably one of those overly cheerful people everyone secretly hates. But that's probably just my inner jerk talking.
I don't think I have any of those symptoms. I'm not very sociable, but definitely not antisocial.
Wow, I actually don't have any of those. Although I would be the first to say that there's nothing wrong with me... But I'll say none!
Isn't asshole a label too though? Then...so is jerk.Aerodyamic said:
Anyway, I only picked one.
*Incapacity to maintain enduring relationships.
The others I'm a little sketchy on:
It more that I sometimes find it difficult to express myself properly, so it ends up looking that way sometimes. By the time I realise what I've done it's too late to do anything about it and I end up feeling crappy about myself.
I feel very guilty a lot of the time, even for things I reasonably shouldn't, but I don't do anything that warrants punishment, ostensibly being an adult, so I can't say it's of any benefit to me. It just makes me 100 times worse than I already feel about something.
Again, this is somewhat true and untrue about me. I actively avoid conflict at all times, even where it may not necessarily be of the violent sort. However, I do tend to rationalise people's reactions to me as being solely their problem rather than something I can change with respect to myself. If I'm walking down the road, and come across a group of people, I get very skittish, my head goes down and I try to avoid their gaze. I start to limp slightly and cringe, because, usually at this point they're laughing and I'm concocting revenge fantasies (not that mind you I'd ever act on such a flimsy pretence). Despite the fact that I'm here typing about it, it's unlikely that I'm going to go out and change anything.
Nope, I'm fairly mellow. Even to the point where the only time I get panicked or flustered is in group social situations. Seriously, I ran full force into the backing of a bookshelf recently, eye first. Despite a little nausea, I didn't really get any kind of feeling, nor worry that I'd busted my eye up completely (it was fine, just a lot of blood and some scarring). And it wasn't shock either, just, nothing.
Now I think about it, the word that best describes me is: Asocial. Well, minus the lack of empathy bit. But, certainly not Anti-social.
Seems like a rather short and incomplete checklist to me. I barely qualify for like one or two points on it, and im still one of the most antisocial people I know, but due to other factors missing from the list.
Also, Psychology = pseudo-science, so why bother in the first place?

To be honest, i can barely understand the list given so i'll just say these:
-Hates going out clubbing or the the pub
-Avoids going anyway with mates
-Lives in the bedroom on facebook or Perfect World most of the day (occasionally venturing downstairs to watch tv)
-The only person I want to be around or ever go out with is my fiance, and if i do go out with my 2 friends (my ONLY 2 friends), its only if i can drag him with me.
-If i drink, i have a habit of slagging people off
-I find it very hard to listen to people if i think what they are suggesting is crap and that mines better
-Did i mention i have only 2 friends???
yup thats my anti-social behaviour summed up

Well I more merely acknowledge it, but sounds good enough to me, down to 5, yay.FaceFaceFace said:
