Already did a while back in HS. The school psychiatrist noted "...slight psychopathic tendencies over the subjects of rejection and betrayal." And recently a friend of mine called me a 'yandere'...TBH, I'm flattered.

You aren't supposed to be flattered when people point out that you're a psycho.

See another psychiatrist; get help. I dunno, do something.

I. AM. NOT. A. PSYCHO. I'm just the "jealous type". And that's the reason I avoid intimate relationships - I'd rather not letting my bloodthirsty side out. And yanderes are rare and unique compared to tsundere - and I would prefer being called yandere to being called tsundere.

That's a very Eldar sense of superiority that I'm detecting I get the feeling you've been thumped in tournies one too many times by an Eldar army

Seriously, why do have what borders nearly on hatred for the Eldar?

Puny humans, they hate what they fear

"Is that so now?" The Rogue Trader shoots the Dark Reaper at point-blank with a Bolt Pistol, but the Eldar dodges, simultaneously drawing a Power Sword and swinging it at the Human's neck - only to catch a shot from a Jokaero digi-ring right between the eyes. "Not so cocky now, are you, witch?"

Well this topic got kinda weird...

Why is it weird? If you're referring to what me and LoneLictor were doing, its just the result of our discussion whether or not the Imperium's paranoia regarding xenos was justified - which it is legally, if not morally or ethically. He was the one who brought it down to the personal level.

Doesn't mean it didn't get weird...

...

What is weird about it?

What was weird about someone admitting they enjoy the fact they have psychopathic tendencies?
Really?

I don't enjoy it...but I don't enjoy hiding from the truth even more. In fact, the idea I have to avoid intimate relationships is very good - less baggage for the dream of immortality. I don't have to worry about leaving family behind, and I can go on my Great Journey (yes, practically lifted from Halo) in pursuit of knowledge and power without regrets.

I agree, its weird to discuss it in the forum, but...

Despite the name and reputation, psychopathic behaviour doesn't actually/necessarily refer to anti-social or violent behaviour (that's typically sociopathic/ASPD). Whilst a very small minority of people are actually psychopathic, even fewer commit crimes - most live relatively normal and often successful lives (it can actually aid some corporate behaviour).
Psychopathy is typically characterised by a lack of intimacy, empathy, remorse and general glibness, rather than overt anti-social behaviour - which can admittedly occur as a result of the typical characteristics (just mentioned).
Contrary to what Lonelictor suggests, its typically not readily treatable, if treatable at all, like most personality disorders and unlike other mental illness such as anxiety disorders.
Heck, you could say in most cases it doesn't need treating as people with psychopathy can lead perfectly happy lives.
Indeed, some may not want spouses for example, unlike most. But different strokes for different folks.

Just trying to be informative...



Anyways, moving back on topic, Eldar and Orks were created by the old ones yo!
Whilst the Eldar were to fight the Necrontyr and in all likelihood inherit the galaxy, someone has previously suggested to me it would be cool if the Orks were meant to be like the white blood cells of the galaxy - vs. the Nids for example.

My head hurts...sounds like what the shrink back in HS said. But yes, apart from avoiding intimacy, and keeping friends at a certain distance, I have no problems keeping my 'tendencies' in check. And regarding empathy and remorse...for some reason I have the latter but I don't have the former when it comes to people I don't know - sometimes, instead of pity, I just feel amusement.

They forfeited the galaxy when they raped/cannibalized/murdered Slaanesh into existence. Orks are orks, and nothing less.
