ummmm

someone urinated into the ballpit while it was empty and posted it in the tag

this is not a joke

You wanna know what changed my life? It was a stranger on the internet that both recognized that I was indeed a sociopath but also told me "You aren't a bad person for the things you can't help lacking, you can always choose to do good, you have a choice." And that blew my damn mind because I hadn't realized I could have a choice in who I was!!

Sociopath had been a death sentence for me because sociopaths always have ill intent, nothing a sociopath does counts because they're a sociopath, nothing I could ever do would matter because I couldn't change the fact that I was a sociopath. But that wasn't true. When we're young we're told that humans always have choices, we're taught that humans have autonomy, but sociopaths don't get treat like people, we're monsters we're inhuman, even thought it was something I was told directly applied to me I thought being a sociopath made that untrue. All it took was a single person to for the first time in my life tell me "yes you are a sociopath, yes you're still a person and you get to decide what kind of person you want to be".

Sociopaths need positive representation so badly, sociopaths need to know they aren't doomed to be terrible people for things they can't control, sociopaths need to know that they aren't inhuman monsters, sociopaths need positivity.
