Do you have a "criminal mind"?

Post Reply New Topic

I've been told I have a criminal mind.


But my criminal mind was due to the following (I say was because I don't really have a criminal mind any more):


1) I wanted to be unique, and that means doing unique things.
2) I was rather pissed at this society, and felt that they owed me.
3) I was (and and still am) extremely understimulated, and in my present situation in life also, the best thing of the worst was to become a criminal!


I don't have a criminal record, however. I never did anything that bad and was never caught or ratted on.

Omg pm me you gotta tell me what you did :P

Stolen a few small items in the distant past and I once drove a car without insurance for a few weeks, nothing major. I suspect that most AS sufferers would make terrible criminals because we are so bad at hiding our feelings.

I don't have a criminal mind or criminal record.

When I was either in school and didn't have time to work or just couldn't find a job and even if I could all those jobs are so not fun and pay so little, so I decided to find another way to make money. I went door to door with pledge sheets for charity walkathons (my victims were the Terry Fox run and Walk the World to Fight Hunger) printed off the internet but never actually gave them to the charities or attended the walkathons; I just made up the fact that there was even a Walk the World one in my area. Once I knew that there was a walkathon at school, and there were several other walkathons in that town that were all happening very close together that spring (walkathon season, I guess) so I made up my own, made a fake pledge sheet, put the school board logo on it, and went door to door. I made at least $1000 doing this. I wasn't ashamed. It's just Darwinism, right?


I've shoplifted several times; I stole at least $100 worth of clothes... I've hacked into people's accounts on webboards just to see what they wrote about me in PMs and private forums, then I made (pretty harmless) changes to the boards (these were mostly admins and mods whose accounts I hacked) and wrote all in their profiles that The Phantom had been there and they needed to change their passwords... once I took the board offline with a message that The Phantom had guessed the admin's password... so everyone who went there would have to have seen it... and this was in a big community circle... two long-time members of the board and that whole community of boards (they'd been there for 2 or 3 years and were pretty established) left the community for good because of it.


Not exactly a criminal mastermind, but would have been if I'd had any connections.

I have a habit of seeing patterns and loopholes everywhere, i always seem to spot the weak points in security or potential scams - so to amuse myself sometimes i absentmindedly plan criminal activity (just in my head, not actually on paper or anything).

Thankfully, ive never needed or desired an excess of money. Really though, this is exact same state of mind that makes a good detective, crime novellist or security consultant so it doesnt imply any dishonesty in our characters at all, but im learning to STFU when i get these ideas in company because most 'straight' people seem to find it unsettling.

I have a temper problem, I admit, but I try to do nice things when I'm mad, like pick up trash.

Better than doing nothing, right?

I certainly do
Of course, I can't say something to back this up... I'd be leaving evidence
