Someone I know told me I have symptoms of a sociopath and suggested that I come here for a second opinion. So I guess I will just start describing myself? Im very impulsive, i never plan out anything that i do. I am completely non-conforming, I do almost anything I can to avoid being like other people. I constantly lie to make myself seem better to others, or to just benefit myself in some way. Im very irritable and I get in a lot of fights over stuff that isnt important (often physical). Im very irresponsible and cant stick to my obligations. I steal a LOT, from my friends and from strangers (stores), and I dont ever feel bad about it. I really dont feel bad about anything I do actually. Oh and I dont ever listen to authority, such as parents and teachers. Sometimes I think about the things I do and wonder why I do them, i dont really feel bad for doing it, i just do it. Am I a sociopath?

It sounds more like Borderline Personality, as they have no conscience of right and wrong. However, if you are either one, get yourself some help. Either one can be treatable, maybe not easily, but there is no reason to throw your life away just "because" you don't care! Someone out there does care, someone raised you, someone loved you, and someone would like to see you get better. Maybe the "someone" isn't who it is suppose to be (parents, counselors, etc) but there is still a "someone" that cares enough to be concerned about your behavior that you are describing right now. Even people that are bipolar have these same problems, and that is one mental illness that is the most treatable, and you can still lead a normal life! Of course, when we have gotten as far as you have, it is hard to know what normal is, but just take a look around you at the people that YOU KNOW that is SATISFIED with their life and is happy! and that is closer to being normal than what you have in your life right now. GET HELP! FROM where ever you CAN that is LEGAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i dont think your a sociopath but you have a problem. it seems like you care too much of what other people think of you, which is what im thinking is what has caused you to become as you are. ( i didnt mean that meanly, though it may have sounded mean) oh, and i think you should get help with the whole stealing/no remorse thing going on. that really cant get you anywhere good. go out and find someone that you can be yourself around. or find someone who can help you figure out who 'yourself' is, since you have been controlling your personality to be different to the extreme. maybe you have been surrounding yourself with the wrong people. oh and btw, fighting is no good. try hugs (;) corny i know i know) sorry if this answer made no sense.

Sounds like YOU ARE BORED.
Get The Step and put it by your bed.
When you wake up, step up and down for 5-15 minutes.
Before you go to sleep, step up and down for 5-15 minutes.
This speeds up the metabolism, so you feel better, more focused, less angry.
After a week or two you will feel a lot better, different, more positive.
Seriously consider joining a gym and taking up weightlifting called Strength Training.
Will change you into a person others will admire.
