I'm usually pretty open about it, up until I got bored of talking about it to people.
Starting therapy this week, which will hopefully limit the number of bad days. I'm OK most of the time, provided I keep myself as active as a hamster on an IV drip of caffeine. As soon as I stop doing things, the depression kind of creeps back up on me, and I'm gone for a couple of days.

The difference between yourself(and J03bot for that matter) and I, is that we are all sitting along the spectrum of functioning sociopaths(highly functioning myself), But you and J03bot seem to want repair your personality, personally I enjoy it far too much.....

Im very trusting, AKA Gullible.
If i don't know you or i don't feel suspicious ill tend to believe what you say.

And im Giving and nice to a Falt.
I love helping people and Giving/Buying them things.
And if someone asks for something ill more than likely say yes.
The thing is its easy for people to walk over me....

I'm cripplingly shy, and it takes ages before I feel comfortable to actually talk with people.

And even then, I struggle to hold a conversation.

Narcissistic yet not egotistical
Angry yet not short-tempered
Easily annoyed but patient
Knowledgeable but not intellectual

I'm a man of severe contradictions.

I can be an absolute asshole at times, I perfectly admit that. And I mean asshole in that I don't realize it until afterwards and never meant to come off that way. I tend to tease people a bit farther than I should. But part of the problem comes when people can't admit that they too are assholes, so I live by one philosophy that "everyone's an asshole, including me, but at least I admit it!"

I have difficulty hiding my current emotions, often times making other people feel terrible just from being around me.

I am usually pessimistic and cynical, yet I don't want to be, nor do I really think that way. Things just kind of come out when I'm feeling sad, and I usually have difficulty managing to repress them.

I resent the implication that I'm not highly functioning! Although not that of sociopathy; that fits as a definition unsettlingly well. I'm just not convinced that the separation from the rest of humanity I frequently feel is in any way a good thing, or healthy. Making observations on humanity from what is, essentially, an external position just feels weird.

Also 1) You quoted me, not Blueruler, and 2) You've clearly been watching Sherlock. Which is awesome.

EDIT: I looked up exactly what sociopathy was, and yeah, it seems to fit (doesn't mean I'm a sociopath though. Self diagnosis over the internet doesn't count in any way) I'd argue against the whole 'lack of empathy' bit, but then realised that I don't really 'feel' empathy, I've just taught myself the emotional cues to look for in other people.

I don't think diabetes counts as a personality flaw (or even a flaw at all, since there's bugger all you can do about it, really). Nor does weakness, unless you mean you have no willpower. So congratulations! You're less flawed than you think you are!

I'm a callous, arrogant, antisocial, misogynistic bastard who tends to view his fellow human beings as scum to be eliminated and/or resources to be exploited. You're scum if you go against my opinions of an ideal society and you are of no use to me. Some psychiatrists might argue that these are problems, but I do a pretty good job of pretending to be decent.

As for problems that actually adversely affect me from time to time, I usually don't notice or don't care about the feelings of others. For example, I once asked a young lady in front of the whole class if she was pregnant. It made sense to me, for she was of a rather stout build and wore an unflatteringly tight cotton dress. When she saw me staring at her and waved coquettishly, I asked, so she would not misinterpret it as interest in her. I knew she'd be somewhat offended; I did not know she would start crying and run out of the class. I said sorry out of custom, but didn't really feel bad about it, for if she didn't want to be asked such a question she wouldn't have worn that dress.

I don't know if this counts as a personality flaw, but I'm terrible about remembering people, probably because I consider nearly everyone without my close family and circle of friends to be of little or no importance to me. Even my so-called friends are ephemeral, for I never go out of my way to associate with them, and all the friends I've made in the past I've moved away from, have never seen since, and wouldn't really care if they all died. Really, the only reason I have friends is because I want something from them, like players for D&D (they never showed up anyway).

Yes. I am from the future.

Other than the being pissy and the trusting part, that's pretty much me. The girl thing is connected to the low self-esteem though. I'm working on it.

I'm not uncomfortable with my depression, that's why I'm so open about it. Plus, it's fun to watch other people's reactions. I've gotten therapy, and for the most part I'm over and and a very happy person. But on a down day I get the symptoms back. The down days are getting further apart, thank god.

Sorry this is so late, but I haven't been home.

Therapy worked wonders for me. You just have to keep an open mind. I'm on the other side of it now, before it was nothing but bad days with the exception of what I thought at the time were good days on to the bad moments coming every couple days. I'm not an active person, I'm an artist and a writer so I like to think, and now I'm able to because of it. I'm now able to work with the outside world because of it where before I just kept in my own little cave.

Best of luck to you.
