that you are an a**hole?

Are we actually? Are we just socially inept due to the DP/DR, or are we a**holes without realising it? How will we know if we have problems with our character?

Heh, yes. I was at a party a few months ago when my DP was really bad and some girl called me an arsehole. Still trying to figure why. I think it's because we don't realise how we're coming across to other people.

EDIT: Ok, that's the last time I post while I'm drunk.

I've been called that before, but it was totally unrelated to my dp. I'm very un-a$$holeish when i have this dp i think. It's such a terrible insult. I hate being called that, it makes me feel so alpha-maleish...like a boorish brute or something. Far better to be called "nefarious", i think.

my stepmother called me a bitch once when i was 11 because she asked me a question, but i thought she was talking to my stepsister, and i was playing video games so of course i was so consumed in them i didn't know what the hell was going on, so she told my dad i was being a bitch and he yelled at me. but then my mom yelled at him. and made my stepmother apologize.

i love you mommy.

anyway, besides that instance, no one has ever really called me an a**hole, but i feel like i'm being very rude a lot of times because i just completely freak out during social gatherings, and i go off and hide. people have implied that i was being etremely rude, though.

How about actions that we believe are justified logically, but seem to be wrong in other people's eyes? Granted, we can't satisfy everyone, but isn't it strange how many people we CAN'T get along with?

Is it because of our ability to see from the outsider's point of view, or because we just are unable to behave normally? Or...is it just us?

Among other things, yes i've been called an asshole. Sometimes, being an asshole is the only defense I have. I see others living natural lives, and I can't help but lash out occasionally.

Never from lashing out at people and never in fact at all has anything been said. But im pretty sure a lot of the friends i used to have think im emotionally cold. A distant kind of person probably.

I have a bad habit of always breaking things at social gatherings as well. For example dropping a glass, spilling drinks , smashing glass doors by banging into them and so forth. Alcohol often had something to do with it but it mostly happened only with people around (which makes me think there was maybe a psychological explanation), i would apologise but never enough it would seem. Though alcohol usually helps me seem more 'human' according to other people.
