we? whatever i 'am' is not normative, and a life long pattern of certain anti-social behavior points to a kind of psychopathology imo

whatever you are, you probably shouldn't pathologize it just because it clashes with certain normative expectations

that's all a pathology is functionally -- something psychologically non-normative

right, I'm just saying that maybe it's the normative expectations that are wrong, something that's not entirely unheard of

whether or not those expectations are accurate is an empirical question, there's a real behavioral distribution independent of our expectations of what it may be -- and from everything i can tell, i'm behaviorally outside of the real distribution not just the expectations

is this some weird variant of moral realism? also, wouldn't the behavioral distribution contain all behavior, making it literally impossible to be outside it? *finding yourself* outside it would precisely mean, your expectations are mistaken

i mean colloquially outside, as in more than +/- 1 std

that would make you a psychosexual minority, which is generally an ok thing to be (unless you mean the voices are telling you to kill hookers or something, in which case, do not do that)

yes that is what i am saying i strongly doubt that quality of life outcomes are generally as good as for those in the outside vs. inside normatively, we can empiricize this question too, but just an intuition, and certainly my view of my self

that's why I cautioned against pathologizing: if you conceptually fix it in place as an insanity, i.e. something inherently incompatible with functioning in everyday life, the negative impact is basically already decided, by you

these things are distributions - what's inherent is not the individual outcome but the generality of the outcome in a population, which is what contradicts it as something 'generally ok' going to the individual, these thoughts are reflective -- the negative impact has happened

I'm sorry to hear that, hope you'll come around to seeing it in a way other than as something that's wrong with you
