Question by : Please help, don’t know what’s wrong with me?
I’ve had this for around possibly over 2 years now, but it’s on and off.
I’m quite smart, high IQ.
I can get quite depressed think about the usual things, I could get angry etc.
I don’t really like humanity/people, so i’m extremely introverted.
That’s the straight things out the way, but I feel there is many complex aspects that even I can’t figure out; my way of thinking – introspectively and intense, i’m quite melancholic – see things mainly grey/b/w, when I try to sleep I see STRANGE images/faces etc, causing me to open my eyes.
I’m not angsty, more pessimistic, I feel ahead of my time, I question reality and what not.
Whenever I look at myself in the mirror, it doesn’t feel like me; like my brain’s embedded in me, i don’t recognize myself.
I PERMANENTLY feel like there’s some emptiness that needs to be sorted, I need to be diagnosed.
I used to medicate with alcohol, and cut twice/three times before.

Question by GameFreak97: What’s wrong with scientologists?
I know the general consensus is that Scientologists are completely crazy. I want to know how crazy. I got this from an encyclopedia website.

Scientology- A cult founded by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard. Their core beliefs are as follows:

This area of the galaxy was once ruled by an alien warlord named Xenu. 65 million years ago his empire was overpopulated horribly, so to combat the overpopulation he had trillions of citizens called in for psychiatric evalutations and tax audits, where they were given paralytic drugs, loaded onto space planes, and flown to Planet Teegeeack. Once on this planet, their bodies were stacked in huge piles around volcanoes, while atom bombs were dropped into these volcanos, instantly killing trillions of galactic citizens.

First, be certain you aren’t just suffering from social anxiety. The 2 are often confused. If you’re feeling often angry or quick to anger from a normal state then it may be social anxiety.
The best way to deal with sociopath tendencies is diligence and patience. Try and make good friends. Be around people with who feel and express normal states of emotions. If you can see that you have hurt someone in some way, make yourself apologize and own up to what you did. Force yourself to take credit for good work, take the blame for bad work or actions.
Please, above all, see a counselor. If you’re a student, a school counselor can help you find someone for free or affordable treatment, if you’re an adult put “sliding scale counseling” and your state into a Google search and find places near you that offer treatment for free or for payment based on your available income and resources.
There may be medications available for you and speaking with someone on a regular basis is the only thus far proven method for correcting sociopath tendencies.
