Paragraph 1: “My ex-boyfriend is the worst person I’ve ever known….I find myself almost offended when girls say that their boyfriends were “sociopaths” for not calling back when they said they would, or even for cheating….But those things don’t mean your ex was a psychopath, a sociopath, or a sufferer of some other type of all-encompassing personality disorder.
My ex was.”
~Here she is specifically claiming her ex as a “psychopath, a sociopath, or a sufferer of some other type of all-encompassing personality disorder”.
The immediate next sentence: “He was never officially diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. That specific diagnosis is just what I — along with some others who are fairly educated on mental illness and were once close to him — have hypothesized to be the case.”
~Here she is claiming that he has not actually been diagnosed with a disorder, she (and apparently others) are making “educated” speculations.
And then, the final paragraph: “And so, your boyfriend might have been an asshole. He might have been a fuckboy. He might have been a really selfish, dishonest, mean, terrible, terrible person. But unless he was actually a sociopath, don’t say that he was.”
~Here she is claiming that you should not speculate or call your boyfriend a sociopath unless he *actually* is.
~See to 2nd paragraph where author states “those things don’t mean your ex was a psychopath, a sociopath, or a sufferer of some other type of all-encompassing personality disorder…..My ex was.”
