I'm only a dumb *** old Yank with a H.S. education who recognises my own limitations but nevertheless strives towards further understanding of the human condition with a focus on ASD and my very small part within it. I have no conscious --- and hopefully no subliminal --- pretensions of coercion, etc.  It is with a free and open spirit I engage with our group with my attempt to shed as many masks as I possibly can. This exercise will "hopefully" --- I keep using that word because it is an experiment --- allow me a measure of self-discovery.  When I look into the mirror each morning, I want to view my true self and "hopefully" be comfortable with it.  I've lived a lie most of my life through the deception of masks. What concerns me most is the possibility of disliking what I have discovered as my true self after "hopefully" shedding those masks. This is my reasoning for exploring sites like this with a consideration for many complexed, comorbid possibilities that are hidden within human personalities.:

7 Signs of Hypocrites & The People They Target | Narcissist, Sociopath, and Psychopath Abuse Recovery (psychopathfree.com)

I consider myself a hypocrite because I often find myself being judgemental of others while in reality, I'm not in a position to do so. I'm not trying to rationalise my hypocrisy through its general commonality. My wish is to "hopefully" raise above it. 

What other appropriate aspirations do you have.

  • A hypocrite is a person exhibiting hypocritical behaviour, which can be a symptom of being a narcissist, and/or socio/psychopath when combined with other more alarming behaviours. But Just being a hypocrite isn't always the start to going down those roads, and in isolation isn't alays a bad thing either.

    It's good that you have the awareness to do something meaningful with that behaviour through self reflection, it means you aren't falling into a mental/behavioural trap via the Dunning-Kruger effect.
