Consider for a moment the person who fits only criteria 1, 2, 4, and 7. You have a non-reckless sociopath whose smart enough to stay under everyones radar except perhaps for it being obvious to some people that he can be very easily angered and aggressive. On snap! Sociopaths don't have to out themselves with lots of irrational behavior! Hell you only need 3 of those to qualify, so if you leave out 4, or if the sociopath simply gets angry easily but doesn't irrationally get into fights, you have a virtually invisible sociopath.
I can't think of anyone like that though.

my therapist (i have to see one for pain management or i don't get happy pills.  ) says i'm a misanthrope. i was foolish and let him see a glimpse of who i really am. i've been much more careful since then. i don't want to be placed in a mental hospital.  i'm not a danger to myself or to others physically! 
btw i fit 1, 2, 6 and 7. but the only reason i fit 6 is because of my diseases. i can't hold down a job because i'm in too much pain and too medicated to like.. leave my house alone. i also don't form emotional/sentimental attachments to people or objects. to use the description my friend gave me, i'm not anymore excited to see a friend than i am to see a chair. which is true and why i'm astonished i have friends. but i guess i keep them around because they're all useful to me on some level.
hi nevver.   i want to cuddle your eyeless doll.

I once told my doctor that if I had a gun I would kill him and everyone else.
yeah, that didn't help me out very much.

Indeed. At least I can sympathize with the pain aspect to an extent.
At least mine has been controlled thus far to a degree to allow a return to work, but I do fear for the future with a progressive disease.

mm wait until you get to where i am mentally! you'll be unable to remember what happened yesterday but entirely capable of making intricate plans and acting them out over the course of several months. like i'm playing a game with my therapist that he doesn't know about. it's tons of fun for me and i always remember to further it a long but seriously wtf was i doing 20 minutes ago? i have no idea. all i know is for some reason i'm watching stargate and i have to poop.

i'm actually having those memory problems. both long and short term unfortunately. for example apparently i went to a U2 concert a couple of years ago with my wife...no memory of it at all. And i'm constantly forgetting short term stuff which is worse because i keep completely loosing memory of things i was supposed to do or things i did just the other day.
I'm also in the unfortunate position of needing drugs to manage my pain and muscular problems but doctors for the most part are so paranoid about people looking for drugs to get high these days its nearly impossible to get what i need to at least manage the pain. so most of the time i cope with it and stay miserable and only take what i can get a hold of when things get beyond what i can bear.

yeah chronic pain is a bitch to get drugs for because they don't like giving people narcotics to deal with it because then it's like the only way they'll deal with it or something.

Got that right.
I had to basically beg my doctor for a prescription of Clonazepam, having found it was the ONLY thing that helped with the type of pain I experience (from other regular folks like me who wake up daily to pain).
Once Clonazepam no longer does the trick, I fear what the next drug battle will be.
Doc's already very strict on refilling that prescription. Hell, I just quit a 1-2 pack a day smoking habit cold turkey, I think I can quit anything and can be trusted with prescription drugs as not to abuse them.
You know what? Screw it. Just give us medicinal marijuana.

I have a friend that had a prescription for medicinal marijuana. He stopped using it a year ago when he got a new job though. He didn't renew his prescription and he doesn't have his plants anymore either.

the only reason i was given vicodin is because nothing else works for my migraines. i've tried every single migraine specific prescription and none of them did anything for me. the downside is i get rebound headaches but they aren't nearly as bad as the migraines. my therapist told me to suggest medical pot and my doctor was like uh.. no. i can't give you a card for that. if you want a card you have to go see someone else. but i like my pain management people so i'll live with viocdin until it's legalized. pot is WAY better for your body than vicodin, especially if you use a vaporizor instead of smoking it. it would also help me with my asthma (i don't know why it does, but it does.) so i'm like so ready for them to legalize it for medical use. i'd probably gain 100 pounds but i don't really eat right now (my body doesn't tell me i'm hungry so i forget to eat.) so it might be you know.. a good thing.

Hmm... Should I be concerned that your actions, behaviors, and symptoms sound like fairly normal everyday life to me?
Not kidding. I've been in constant pain, albeit much lower-level than anyone here describes, for at least 14 years now. Some days are worse than others. Right now, I'm waiting for my head to asplode (think opening scene of Scanners) from this sinus headache. As long as I don't move too quickly, though, it's only a constant throb.
*sigh*
Sometimes, life like this seems less than worth living.
Oh well, at least I have chocolate-chip ice cream if I want it.

I'm no therapist.....but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night! 
While I have not smoked the wacky weed in a great many years, I'm all for legalizing it. It seems to have medicinal benefits for plenty of conditions, and it's really not that difficult to put it on the Controlled Meds schedule, as probably a C-II. Heck, if we can legalize opiate derivatives, and cocaine for surgical use, why not marijuana?
Might as well make it legal so the government can make some coin off it's regulation, as opposed to spending billions trying to keep it off the streets.....

Hehe, those damned Mexican illegals ruined it! Oh wait, maybe it was the yellow journalism that had something to do with that.
Accept this simple fact, and life in our society will become much simpler to understand -- There have been, are, and always will be people who want to prohibit other people from enjoying life, regardless of the damage caused by the first group.
