Am i a psychopath for trying to be one in front of my therapists? I've got the 'symptoms' I lie to them. I care not to show emotion.
Not a psychopath but kind of a retard. You are wasting their and your time. What the fuck is the point?

It's not that it's wrong necessarily, it just completely defeats the purpose of going into therapy. I guess if you don't pay for it yourself it doesn't matter much but it seems like a useless investment to me. I don't see how you cannot experiment with how people respond to you in regular social contact for the experiences and if you want to gain knowledge in this day and age you could spend the same time online watching lectures from some of the best professors in the world or the finest documentaries, anything.

What does that have to do with anything?

therapists are often deeply troubled and disturbed, and have to maintain the pretence of tranquility in order to deal with patients in a professional manner that is deemed of benefit to the patient. This is not actually helpful at all and the therapists often find themselves falling into the very same mind games that the "psychopath" or "sociopath" or "narcissist," or whatever term is applied based on severity uses.
My brother used to work in a mental hospital and he often said that the therapists themselves would end up with deep psychological problems simply from trying to find a way to deal with the delusional mindset.
It's not an institution of doctors and patients, it's simply an institution.
I've watched many documentaries on psychopathy, and in each one I could see traits of psychopathy in the doctors who were claiming to find new revolutionary ways to treat and possibly (nope) cure the condition.
It's a sad state of affairs that is best avoided at all costs. It's a self-perpetuating lie, live simply and disregard it, disregard all destructive desires, enjoy the way a tree looks in the sunlight, enjoy the happiness and peace of your loved ones, don't fall into the hellish prison, I've been there, I had to be there in order for my mind to explode to its' full potential.

movies are an art form, what do you have against that?
>>17279266
It's just that a friend of mine became obsessed with some shit in a movie and started acting weird for a few weeks.

John Hinckley was already mentally unstable, stop blaming it on Taxi Driver, it's a great film.
And shooting Ronald Reagan is beyond "acting weird."
