why sociopaths are cruel / why borderliners are so needy
"why are sociopaths cruel?"
the answer may be the same as the answer to the question(s):
"why are borderliners so needy? (or, why are they often serial monogamists?)"
i propose a very simple neurological hypothesis that you educated people will dismiss out of hand:
Chemical tolerance to serotonin and oxytocin (two neurotransmitters known to deal with short term and long term feelings of love, empathy and the control of obsessive compulsive traits).
It's simple: once you've been in enough situations where your body generates huge amounts of "love chemicals," only to have the source stimuli taken away toxically, you develop an addiction to the chemicals AND an aversion to the stimuli. Love is itself an addiction or OCD behavior. The more experiences you have with the stimuli coming AND GOING, the more tolerance you develop to the chemicals and their stimuli. The stimuli needs to be more powerful each time until you no longer get a response to it at all. Persons with BPD need more thrills to get the chemical high (see my blog entry titled "The Romanticized Drama of the Endgame"). Sociopaths are simply immune to the stimulus (except for extraordinary situations, such as when will jefferson had his car accident and acted like a human being for about a week and a half before becoming even worse than he was previously).
In both cases, there is no treatment unless the subject is intellectually willing and able to accept the facts and use intellect to attempt to compensate for behavioral training. Many people with BPD are right on the edge of losing that ability. i've known several women who seemed very self aware only to find that they couldn't act on their knowledge. i would imagine the case is worse for those who are totally sociopathic. Someone with BPD WANTS a better existence. Someone who's sociopathic is pathologically incapable of seeing that their existence is flawed and that they should do anything about it (everyone else is the problem, which is the declaration of most of us who have been fucked over by sociopaths and borderliners... takes one to make one, right?).
Once again, i tell you there is a connection and a CLEAR and DOCUMENTABLE PATH from autistic-spectrum disorders to Borderline Personality Disorder to Sociopathy.
Now go look at a third party who has made some similar connections (though, not as similar as i would like, why must i be a trail blazer that is ignored as ignorant??)... not the same topic, but it will serve as my REFERENCE for those of you who seem to require references in order to believe anything i say:
(thanks, Carla and Sairuh for pointing me back to things i'd discussed and thought about before but forgot about)
That's all the documentation and citation i'm giving you. i've asked doctors to work with me on doing actual research studies to validate theories of mine while they use me as a research subject and a partner and they've refused. So fuck you if you want something more academic. Click on my labels and read my other postings about sociopathy and BPD. Then do you own fucking work... and ultimately forget where the idea came to you, just like i know it will happen when the truth finally starts to seep into the minds of the collective "medical establishment." Hopefully i'll be long dead by then.

I have thought about this and came up with descriptive statements for the different levels of entrenchment of all 3 of these unhealthy mindsets. Acutally like you said, its all one and the same, just the person is getting more deeply entrenched along the way. As well, they sorta all blend into each other too. Seems the conscience gets imbalanced and continues in waves until the person reaches a deep level of unhealthiness and ends up becoming more and more violent with the innocent. Serial killers would fit the profile of the most debased psycopath. Yet there is a theme of abuse associated with it so maybe autistics have trouble with coping with abuse and this is the bases for your theory. In my observation like is drawn to like often and this would definitely explain your attraction to borderlines. Anyway, here's to not being involved romantically with these types of people. These people are need-vacuums, they can never get their fill of you meeting their needs.
Borderline: "I am mad that you are not meeting my needs, so I am going to make myself suffer for it. You will be sorry for this and do everything you can to care for my needs even if I dont care for yours"
Sociopath: "Since you are unwilling to meet my needs, now I am just going to attempt to get my needs met from you no matter what. So if it hurts you or is unfair to you so be it, as long as I am getting everything I can from you to meet my needs, I dont care if you dont get what you need."
Psycopath: "Since you refuse to meet my needs, I am not only going to attempt to get you to meet my needs, I am going to punish you for this. I want you to feel the pain of what you not meeting my needs has done to me and you are going to suffer for it. I will make you pay for it, and you will meet my needs until I say when, which very well may be when you die."
they're need-vacuums but they also wrongly project me as being a need-vacuum because they have very little mental stamina and are unwilling to be emotionally open/exposed to potentially good things.
Your quotes are perfect.
Christine, does it ever make you sick how well you have come to understand people and yet... it doesn't seem to make your life easier???
it drives me fucking insane
Yes totally..yet I just tend to think there is some greater purpose...optimism or wishful thinking on my part??
there's no greater purpose. things are what they are because matter interacts with matter. period.
Matter does this but there is always a purpose in it to me and this is where we differ in opinion.
OK so Jace why is the mental stamina a problem? Is it sheer emotional exhaustion and overload that is unable to cope with conflict or anything that may imbalance or stress the fragile emotional equilibrium? These are not rhetorical questions by the way..lol. I am curious to get more insight into the issue.

any higher force that would allow such suffering should hunted down and killed.
and:
"OK so Jace why is the mental stamina a problem? "
i can't even go there or i will explode.
Yes well, to me there is blessing in or coming out of the suffering. Personally I am learning that right now. I hope my question did not come off flippant in your mind. As there is no question it is a problem. My question is why is this the issue for us. Or people like us. I am trying to move right now and I feel like I have minus energy. I guess I would implode if I did, but I feel so drained more than I ever had. I am wondering if it is from the recent situation or ordeal depending on how you look at it, that I have been through. Yes I think that is it. I think the pain does just drain you to the point that one feels like they can do absolutely nothing.
