Why are the psychopaths treated badly?

[Celebrochwen]

At my school there is a lunch table dedicated to the crazy psychopaths. I am proud to say I belong at that table. We are constantly bombarded with airborne garbage and crumpled up paper. Since when was being different a crime punishable by flying garbage? Does anyone else have this problem?

[ely]

Well, some people for some reason treat badly those who are different from them. I don't know why. Maybe they just need to live out their anger on somebody or they like to torture others. Especially in schools.

Constantly bombarded with airborne garbage and crumpled up paper, your things being taken away and thrown somewhere, all kind of insults, sometimes even not-so-gentle hits - been there, experienced that. I guess it's the dark side of mankind. Sometimes when I feel very very down, I want others to suffer, too. And sometimes it's so tempting to laugh at your friend's stupidity. I don't really like myself at those times. :rolleyes:

[Saucy]

well i share ur sorrow, i too have had things thrown at me....but being the sorta pyschopath that i supposebly am, that only happened once...after a few friendly :) words with the thrower, i was no longer the victim of cruel and unusual names...but he was.

[Ireth Telrúnya]

There is something twisted in this trend in this world that compels everyone be more or less like the others. Those who are different enough and not able to change that are disrespected and not so much tolerated by others...unless that "differency" is something considered "cool".
I've been there too, all kinds of words thrown at me..though I think I was once thrown by a sandwich in school..[oh well, I'm a foreigner, I meant that a sandwich was thrown at me..:)]

And hey, don't call yourselves psychopaths, you're probably no more psychopathic than this whole world..

[The-Elf-Herself]

*shrugs* Personally I am quite proud to be considered insane by many. I think I might have it easier though, because I can run circles verbally around anyone who messes with me(either that or I just freak them out by asking if a camel sat on them and that's why they're such dingbats or if it's just because they're waiting for a dead badger to hit them on the lips when they're sleeping). I guess I've had it easier since I was homeschooled, so we're all weirdos who walk about Wal-Mart in costumes or just goof off. However, when I did go to school people would just stay away from me, which while nice in a way was pretty lonely after a while.

[Inderjit S]

When I was 14, and insane, and pretty fastidious about, I always used to pummel everybody ELSE in the magnanimous class with magnanimous garbage and other such magnanimous rubbish, thus starting free for all magnanimous paper fights. I didn't really have a magnanimous target, except for magnanimous girls I had magnanimous crushes on but told me to "get a life, we do NOT like guys who look like magnanimous rats" and the notes usually contained paroxysms of my magnanimous love and adoration for those noble magnanimous little hussies.

My view: all those magnanimous people are jealous of your magnanimous ability to act totally insane as they wish that they could be as perpetually idiotic as you, but being perpetually idiotic is a skill that few can muster, apart from of course the perpetually idiotic and the only magnanimous criteria you should have is to have no magnanimous brain, no magnanimous scruples, no magnanimous biases and no magnanimous clothes and you should also harbour some kind of magnanimous magnanimous fetish for the word 'magnanimous' and prepare yourself for a magnanimous profession in magnanimous second hand polka dot toilet-seat repairing and a crazy fetish for castrating cats.

[e.Blackstar]

Amen, Celebrochwen! ;)

Yeah, I belong to the same table as her at school, and I can only agree. I, however, am perfectly normal. Absolutley sane. 100% ordinary. Well, to me, anyway! I say, pick up the garbage and chuck it back. You can always plead insanity, and if your like me, the courts/teachers will buy it totally!





Yo, this may make me sound incredibly stupid, but what does magnanimous mean? :) :confused:

[Inderjit S]

Noble or generous.

[Saermegil]

Hmmm... do you have a thing for dictionaries?

[Inderjit S]

What do you mean? :confused:

[Ambartur]

I have a thing for dictionaries...*nods head*

But at my school, people don't really throw things at me as much as call me a loser and threaten to beat me up (right...they never go through with anything...). I know this one time I spazzed (intentionally...I can do that...) out in the lunchroom, and I fell out of my "chair" (accursed luchroom tables. Grr...). Everybody in the general area stopped eating and stared at me, including the girl I was eating with. I paid no attention (in fact, I only know they they were staring at me because she told me...), and went back to my eating. Aftet getting up, of course...

But if anyone messes with you, just ignore them and/or pretend to be gay around them. That usually works (although you might be jumped later on that day).

What do you mean?


-->?magnanimous?

[Niirewen]

Magnanimous was one of my vocabulary words.

Well.. I don't sit at a "psychopath" table at lunch because I generally sit by myself. And I don't get things thrown at me.. besides the occasional strange look, but people tend to take pity on me and sit with me. Which kind of bothers me, but I always get over it because they are nice people.

I don't get made fun of, because I usually keep to myself, but when I do, I ignore the idiot. Sometimes I just can't believe how immature high-schoolers can be. Didn't we leave bullying behind in middle school? Guess not..

[Dragon]

no problem.

we sit in a little secluded area outside where no one can find us.

it works :D :D :D

[Kailita]

Now Niri, could it be that you have a loner streak? ;) I'm like that too, sometimes. But you sound like a loner by nature. I'm a loner by circumstance

I'm sick of highschool. And I still have two years to go. *Bangs head against wall*. I hate getting up early, I hate the stereotypes, I hate the classes, I hate the studying, and I hate the immaturity of 80% of the people around me.

I'm especially sick of teenage boys. Maybe it's just sophomore teenage boys. They didn't seem to be so bad when we were freshmen. And hopefully they won't be so bad next year as juniors. But this year, they have just been...urrrrghhh...

*Finds a secluded area to sit with her little sister* *Hides with D and her friends*

[Niirewen]

*sigh* I'm sick of high school, too.. freshman year was okay, and sophmore year was just a bad year altogether, but this year I'm just sick of it. Mostly for the same reasons as you, Kaia.

Well.. I don't know whether I'm a loner "by nature"... I used to be mostly social and normal... but the last several years have changed me, I guess. Life has been incredibly tough, and then I started to grow apart from the friends I'd always been friends with... leaving me alone. Oh well, you get used to it, I guess.

[Ambartur]

I was forced to be alone, too. For three years, I was virtually by myself all day, every day, with nothing to do, and nobody to do it with. Needless to say, that made me slightly anti-social...It made me rely totally on myself for any and all emotional needs, and due to that I had to reach within myself for some kind of femeninity (is that a word? :confused: ) to try (vainly) to complete myself. Because of that, I am somewhat (right, more like, very, very) in touch with my "femenine" side. *sigh* That is also a point of torture for the less mature folk at the schools. Curse them, ignorant fools...

And now that I'm back into society, I see just how crappy it is (it's not all that bad sometimes, but hey, I'm feeling bitter right now, so what the heck...), and how I can never really truly fit into something that I've never been a part of. I think sometimes that I might one day be able to find a spot where I'm loved/appreciated/respected, but I really can't see it coming anytime soon. So maybe now I'll just seclude myself like I did at the beginning of the year, when I talked to no one, and ate by myself on the other side of the campus, and stared down (with intense, hate-filled rage) any who tested me (including the teachers...worked, too). Maybe then I might feel better...

But, of course, I talk nonsense. That would ultimately change nothing, because I would still be alone in the end...*sigh* Why must I be this way? Why can't I just enjoy life like everyone else? That's all I really want...Why do I have to be this way?

The answer ultimately comes back: Because I have to be. There is no changing it. But I ask, would I want to be another way? Would I want to trade in the wisdom and the empathy that comes with my pain for my own selfish desires? Could I do that to the people who depend on me for advice and comfort? Could I let them down?

And so I am doomed by myself to forever be enslaved by my own personality, never allowing a change in my mind to allow myself to be happy, or rather "social".

All in all: Wisdom has a price, and it is a bitter one...Hence the signature. I made those up myself, ya know...*smiles meekly with slight pride*

[Kailita]

What's going on with you, Niri? :( Life and friends getting you down? What's going on? Gah, I hate it when people go and change on you...

Wow. *Blinks* Ambartur...I don't think I've met you yet. Kailita, Outcast and anti-social-loner-by-circumstance, at your service. Sounds like you're definitely one of us. I don't know what school's like for you...but if you're looking for a place to be loved/appreciated/respected for who you are...even (especially) if you're slightly different from everyone else...this is the place. Sociality (socialness?) isn't all it's cracked up to be. But, while wisdom can come from pain, so can bitterness. And it is possible to be wise and have a place to belong. You just have to find a place where you won't have to compromise yourself to fit in. Obviously, that place is not high school. But you sound like an interesting person to me...you can sit at my table. :)

[Ambartur]

Well met, Kailita, Outcast and anti-social-loner-by-circumstance. Ambartur, Outcast and anti-social-loner-by-circumstance/choice at your service. I have found through time that I really don't truly belong to any group, even if the group is made up purely of people who are different. I don't know, maybe that feeling of not being able to belong is only in my mind. Maybe I choose to not feel accepted. I've stopped trying to analyze it, honestly. It's too tiring, and I don't have the time anymore...

Perhaps I must rephrase. My wisdom comes from my sorrow, and my sorrow/wisdom has led to my pain. It's a brutal cycle...Bitterness is a part of everything ("Everything is bittersweet..."). The only thing that matters is how bitter and how sweet something is, or is percieved by you. But bitterness is a part of life, whether you accept it willingly or no.

I know there are places out there that I can belong in, the problem is that i haven't found such a place yet. While this place may be good, or at least better than having no place at all, it really isn't what I want or need. I need something in RL that I can be a part of. Thanks for the offer, though. It means a lot to me that someone actually thinks I'm an interesting person (or at least said so). Really.

[Niirewen]

What's going on with you, Niri? Life and friends getting you down? What's going on? Gah, I hate it when people go and change on you...
Life experiences change people. So I'm not as trusting and happy as I was 5 years ago. Just because things happen... things happen that you can't forget or take back or even pretend never happened. And I've never been one to share my problems or secrets very much, but over the years I've become even more guarded. But anyway, this isn't too interesting and I'm probably not making sense, so I'll stop talking now.

Oh, and I don't believe I've met you either, Ambartur (or have I? :confused: ) At least not properly. So, hello and welcome. :) You'll fit in around here just fine. And I sincerely hope you will soon find that place where you feel you can belong.

[Celebrochwen]

Wow! I have never started a thread that was so successful. I feel special now. :D

[joxy]

At my school there is a lunch table dedicated to the crazy psychopaths.
Who did the dedication?
Who on the school staff allows such a thing?
Who include themselves among those to whom it is dedicated?
Do any of you know what "psychopath" actually means??!!??!!

[Celebrochwen]

Yes we know that a psychopath is someone suffering from a mental disorder. We do not actually suffer from a mental disorder, but that is what people call us, because of our peculiar behavior. We are proud of our title, and besides, where's the fun in being normal?

[Saermegil]

But that's what a mental disorder is for most people: behaviour that deviates from the norm and stops the people that have it from being normal.It's awful when people start to think of themselves as normal and different people as psycopaths

[HobbitGirl]

Speaking of the psychopath thing...I just kinda realized this. (I just realized it now because my life has been too numb lately for me to be very perceptive...) I've stopped classifying myself. For the longest time, I've always classified myself as different, as strange, as a weirdo and Outcast. But I have friends. Several, and in many different parts of the country, as it happens. I also tried classifying myself into one of the categories that the "normal" people create for others, and I found I fit into many: nerd, hippie, punk, loner, and at times, even a "normal" person. So I've finally come to the conclusion that I cannot be classifyied. If I cannot, than neither can anyone else, for we're all human, and no doubt we've all felt this way at one point or another. It just feels good to be around like-minded people, to be among people who speak my language, who I can actually talk to without having to simplify the words. :D

Hi everyone, by the way. Yes, the HobbitGirl is back. :D

[Cerridwen]

That makes sense!

I actually like classifying myself as whatever I want to be...but I think that we should all really classify ourselves as one thing...

Unique and ourself.

Sounds corny I know, but I take great pleasure in letting people know that I am myself and proud of it.


PS Hope you don't mind I'm posting here!

[Kailita]

Of course we don't mind, Cerridwen. Welcome to the GOO. :)

Sounds like an unhappy existence to me. :( Bitterness is a part of life. I can agree with that. But it doesn't have to control you. You can rise above it and live in spite of it. You know who you should talk to? Eriol. ;) Anyone who knows Eriol will know what I'm talking about. He helped me through a pretty bitter time in my life. I know something in real life will probably help more than an Internet group...but stick around. The Guild of Outcasts isn't what it once was...but every now and then someone says something that's worth saying. ;) And our doors are always open.

Hmm. Classifying. I like classifying myself - it helps me to understand myself better. But my classifications are paradoxes. I'm so many conflicting things at one time. But I've grown to love that. :)

[HobbitGirl]

I'll just sit here, clinging to my everlasting optimism, cut off from the world by my current numb outer exterior, which is slowly eating up the inside too.

Boy, it it late at night...

[e.Blackstar]

Yay, go HobbitGirl! That makes so much sense!

About psychopaths...as I said earlier, I am absolutely sane. 100% normal. Yep. Uh-huh. Hmmm... Well, one of the math teachers at our scholl has a beautiful poster that says "Normal is just a setting on your washing machine."

Yay! :D :D :D :D :D :D

[Kailita]

"Normal is just a setting on your washing machine."


Hehe. That's a good one. :D

I don't think I've been treated too badly as a psychopath in a while. But I'm an amiable psychopath, so most people don't find cause to hate me. :D

[Niirewen]

Sometimes I just don't know whether I'm really sane or not. But I mostly act sane; overall I don't think being put in the psych-ward would be very fun.

Btw, I really like the quote in your signature, Kaia. :)

[Kailita]

Ahh...thanks Niri. :) Me, too. As soon as I read that, my initial reaction was:

"Oohhhhh..." *Hopeful Smile* *Melt*

And my second reaction was:

"Ooooohh! Great TTF signature!" ;):D
