That does not make them an outright sociopath. I may merely mean they possess some of those traits NOT to conclude a full diagnosis. The problem with APD and NPD is that both disorders require a certain level of social function for them to be considered fully diagnosis driven. This social function would be something NOT to inherently exist in a 299.80 diagnosed person.

Its MORE likely that you have some form of 299.80 in Your axis II, and that the reality is your 301.7 in your axis I.


I'm not certain, but I think it's possible to not have any personality disorder and still lack a conscience. That's what sociopathy is. Simply lacking a conscience.

Like I said, there's characteristics that almost always go along with that, but they don't have to.


That assumption presupposes that a lack of conscience doesnt have a disorder attached. He could be classicaly 301.50 in his Axis II, as I believe HPD to be not directly harmful to others or lead to destructive behaviours, much like 301.7 does.
And it still possess a lack of remorse or conscience attached.


I never asked you to diagnose me a**hole... I've looked around this forum and It seems like almost all the threads on here end up getting off topic, so I'm just gonna go somewhere else with this.

Thanks anyways

No, I mean sociopathy can be a stand-alone disorder. I know the DSM doesn't allow for that, but that's what I think--that sociopathy doesn't need another "disorder to attach it to, that it's a disorder in and of itself.

Cold Numbness,

Theres no need for harsh words. I was not trying to implicate a concept of diagnosing you, merely pointing out its possible how you were diagnosed may have been off. Anything is possible.

Its also likely no conjecture at all is required. You asked for those who had experience to comment. I have had experience, and dealt with these things, I provided an adequate opinion based on the information I was provided.

If you find this in err, please bring it up with a moderator. But calling names and personal attacks is no way to get people to respond kindly to you.

Thread going nowhere fast now, so locked before more insults fly.
