Is there a mental disorder in which someone intentionally sparks emotional conflict?

Question

to kind of ... feed themself?

I used to do things to start fights or emotional conflicts and afterwards I would kind of feel jazzed up... almost high, where as the other "Combatant" would be drained and tired...
I left many shells of human beings behind me but never quite understood how or why... I try to only do things that build up my current partner but... sometimes I feel like I am acting or something...

Good morn to you to dear!

Answer 1

Where I work, I deal with people like this every day and it can be exhausting. They LOOK for things to make an issue out of. Another answer mentioned Borderline Personality Disorder and I have to laugh because that has been mentioned several times when dealing with people like this. I almost think it could apply to me too because after 15 years in customer service, I know how to be so nice to these people that it really pisses them off :-)) One lady walked out the other day because I was super sweet to her and she couldn't take it. LOL (and yeah, I get a cheap thrill from THAT LOL)

Answer 2

There's people out there that don't feel "alive" unless they can keep constant conflict going or start a conflict. Apparently, there is an unfulfilled need within yourself, that only gets "fed" when you see/put others into defense mode.
Pitiful shame, too. Is your life so boring and unfulfilled that it takes making others feel baldy, to make YOU feel good? Believe it or not, YOU are not the most important person on the planet. Did your parents redicule you a lot, growing up? I've found that when people only know redicule and "put downs" they have a tendency to continue this pattern in their adult lives....they don't feel good about themselves, or normal unless they can make others feel badly about themselves...think back, maybe to the age where you realized you had parents....were you always trying to please them, make them happy......but, they still found fault with you? We they never available for you, unless you were in some kinda trouble? Is that what it took to get their attention for longer than 2 minutes?
You only feel "normal" when you can make someone else feel badly.....yes, there is a name for this mental disorder:
Sociopathic. Get some help.

Sounds like you need to see a doctor to find out what these negative experiences that feel so good are doing to you. This doesn't mean you're crazy or anything, just that you recognize that all is not well (self awareness is the first step to solving the problem). Treating your current partner well is very good, and you seemed to have learned the very basic lesson in life about how we need to treat other people well around us, but those nagging feelings need to be explored.

Following a doctrine will not rid you of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Just keep going to your psychologist. He's the trained professional for the job. It may take a long time to break a psychological issue, but your OCD's severity can be reduced by continuing the methods your psychologist taught you.

I don't know why but I seem to attract them to my case load like moths to a flame.
You can look up all the information you would like about the diagnosis at DSM on-line library.
Borderline Personality Disorder.
This may not be your diagnosis, but from your description it does sound like some typical "behavior" or symptoms that someone with this diagnosis may exhibit.
............at any rate the DSM: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental disorders, will have a wealth of information that can help you identify a possible diagnosis for your symptoms.......

Answer 6

It's called an energy vampire. One of these vampires will get the victim worked up emotionally and feed off the energies emoted. The victim is drained of aura energy. The vampire "pokes" holes in the vicitm's aura and something like emotional feeders hook into the holes and drain that person of their energy. You aren't acting when you refrain from doing this to others. You need to find a new way to gather energy for yourself. You can charge crystals and learn to feed on them. There are many other ways also.

In my past energy vampires have drained the hell out of me. You can actually kill someone draining too much energy. I learned what was happening to me and learned to protect myself.

Answer 7

You were raised to fight and then be rewarded with sex. This resulted in the spleen loading up with red cells waiting for the fight. Releasing adrenaline caused the red cells to empty out of the spleen. Venting the spleen is almost gone nowadays. But they do feel wonderful after a good fight or murder. The Mafia mothers knew how to raise their boys.

Answer 8

Well, the mental disorder as you call it , I refer to as "Marriage" and trust me, I should have an "Oscar statuette" at this point, for being really good at "sparking any emotional conflict" while I'm pmessing !!!!
Good question ! Good morning !!!

I was married to someone like this and he was abusive too. After I found out that this was his personality disorder (after we ruled out a brain tumor) I filed for divorce. There is no hope for people like this. We have two sons I had to protect. He made my daily life a living hell.

GOOD LUCK!!!
