My Story of a Sociopath website is coming along quite nicely. I have fine-tuned many of the more important points through Part 7. I am still searching for a publisher but am thinking about self-publishing the story through i-Books. Any comments would be appreciated.
(Keep in mind, I have no proofreader or editor at this point, just my story in all it’s rawness.)
I am thinking it would be a great supplement to a research text on sociopaths, psychopaths, and personality disorders in general. I’ve already been informed that it’s causing emotional anguish for one of my readers. He’s either been a victim of someone like The Boy or he sees himself in The Boy. It’s not for me to judge. Enjoy!

And interesting tale! It sounds like this story was at least partially based on personal experience. It’s a pity that people like The Boy give us such a bad name. I’d be lying if I said I couldn’t see myself in him; but unlike The Boy, I have greater foresight and insight into the consequences of my actions – and moderate accordingly.
We don’t all act as callous as The Boy does.

Thank goodness for that, playing tame. 🙂
The story is definitely inspired by a VERY sick person from my not-so-distant past. And “callous” is a very appropriate word to describe his actions. Even though his actual identity is unknown by my readers, the inspiration actually had a lawyer send me a cease and desist letter. I laughed at it. All the letter did was affirm my story. Maybe I’ll post parts of the letter soon. It’s a classic scare-tactic. Thanks for your comments. I like your blog.

Interesting. The sociopath from my past found my old blog on blogger and was pissed about what I was writing, too, even though his identity was hidden. He started posting anonymous comments on my blog. Are they all the same?

Hahaha! He has done that but I told him even anonymous posts can be traced back to him through his IP address. He’s too much of a coward to comment.

Exactly. Same thing here.

Sending a legal letter like that is laughable, but I can see why he tried it. A lot of people get quite terrified when getting legal correspondence like that.
Anyway, thank you, Paula, for also taking the time to read my blog; I’m glad you like it. Part of the reason I write it is to give people a window into our world, to show people that we’re not *all* quite the unreasoning monsters that we tend to be.

I read the story and I must say, there is no shortage of sociopaths on the planet I come from.
