Subject: you're so easy to talk to. thx for your insight

Message: Thanks for writing back again. The msg (about my question) really made sense. Thats the same way as I think. I think its just my environment thats making me feel out of place.

I guess I am seeking to understand myself, as you say. When you say "a seeker" are you referring to some kind of archetype from a book or something?

LOL at the bundle of enthusiasm thing you said before. Its really stress. In everything Im involved with, I get "voluntereed" to be a leader (only because noone else wants to). Home, work, & community! I'm so used to being THE positive person for everyone else.

Subject: Hi, regarding my friend the sociopath...

Message: Thanks very much for your answer. This man has hurt me and many others. He exhibits all of the symptoms you listed, it is so sad, I feel for him. However, I am not going to be used anymore by him, he does not have a conscience..... he had a terrible childhood, no love or affection, they never even talked to each other, he had a family with 4 other siblings. His father was never seen at home, his mother was an alcoholic that beat him, and 2 of the other children. He was also abused physically by his mother's "friend."
He had no chance to turn out anything near "normal." So, I tried to help him for several months to get him to therapy and meds, which didn't have much effect. However, he has no one, no friends, and his father disowned him. So, I wanted to help him, but I suffered a lot in doing this. Take care, and thank you, Nikixxx
