{edited, added some stuff, just an informal consideration of a few of the arguments that support the accusation}

"Bella রাজহাঁস is a sociopath."

It’s an extreme statement, to be sure. However, it’s not one to be dismissed offhand, without consideration towards its arguments.

First, here are a couple definitions of the term sociopath.
-Random House Dictionary:
a person, as a psychopathic personality, whose behavior is antisocial and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility অথবা social conscience.
-American Heritage Dictionary of Cultural Literacy:
Someone whose social behavior is extremely abnormal. Sociopaths are interested only in their personal needs and desires, without concern for the effects of their behavior on others.

I'm going to discuss what seems to be the two main indicators: (1) antisocial behavior অথবা abnormal social interaction habits and (2) thought pattern focused so extremely on the self, that negligible interest is প্রদত্ত to anything else. Notice that neither of these are necessarily destructive অথবা detrimental to outside society. Rather, it reflects a disturbed frame of mind and way of thinking that often leads to criminal behavior. Particularly, indicator (2) could be simplified as "egocentricity," however the word gives the false insinuation maliciousness. Keep in mind that this means that it just doesn't occur to a sociopath to think of other people outside of how they affect the sociopath themself. They may not even be able to understand how this অথবা anything they do out of self-interest is wrong.

Part I: Is Bella antisocial?
For the time being, we are putting aside her interactions with the vampires.

Some people who are extremely sociopathic অথবা anti-social are not concerned with appearances and openly engage in “behavior deviating sharply from the social norm” (from Meriam-Webster definition of anti-social). However, many sociopaths learn to skillfully mimic the superficial behaviors that indicate social interest in others and empathy. In this way, they are able to appear to normal to those who only see these superficial actions. Luckily, Twilight was written from Bella’s point of view, allowing us to see somewhat into her true values, concerns and intentions.

Bella certainly engages in social interaction on a daily basis in Forks. However, from before she even arrives in Forks, she has no true interest in the people around her, including her father. Her narrative makes it clear that all of her interactions and conversations were purely the result of courtesy and to hide that her true social interactions (ability/desire to bond with those near her) are abnormal. Despite many of her classmates going out of their way to welcome her warmly, Bella quickly judges everyone she meets and insults অথবা makes fun of them. In New Moon, Bella’s entire pretense fails and she is so obviously antisocial for months that her behavior disturbs her classmates and family. However, the rest of the time she is sure to engage in the minimal amount of superficial social interaction required to appear normal.

As with her habit of calling her father “Dad” only to his face, Bella displays no actual respect for him outside of superficialities. She lies to him about her boyfriend and other things, allows Edward to sneak into his house every night, and even states she doesn’t think she needs her father’s permission to go on a long road trip alone to an unfamiliar city. Bella shows no signs of remorse অথবা concern for these things and outwardly mimics a perfectly gracious and respectful daughter throughout.

Then she sees the Cullens. They are the only people in the town that Bella can be bothered to take an interest in. Their superficial beauty, wealth, and obvious exclusivity from the rest of society represent a social status above Bella’s own. “The isolation must be their desire; I couldn't imagine any door that wouldn't be opened দ্বারা that degree of beauty.” And Edward, the available one, is her way in. Edward becomes the key to Bella’s own happiness, fulfillment and meaning in life. She quickly becomes obsessed with what he has to offer her.

Part II: Bella Lacks a Social Conscience
Exhibit A: Bella finds out a coven of ভ্যাম্পায়ার is in living in town. They tell her they don’t hurt people, but she has no reason to trust them. Did I mention they’re blood-sucking, people-eating-by-definition VAMPIRES? On শীর্ষ of that, there are bodies প্রদর্শিত হচ্ছে up and Bella knows the perp is a vampire. Does she try to warn অথবা protect the entire town of very vulnerable succulent humans? No, she’s too busy trying to protect the cover story of dear Edward and his friends. Even if he kills her, she doesn’t want anyone to know it was him. She has no concern for the fact that she would be making it easier for him to prey on other people in the town because her feelings for Edward make him আরো important than anything in the world, even if he turns out to be a BLOOD-THIRSTY MASS MURDERER.

Exhibit B: Bella wants to be a vampire. She has no reservations about this. She wants that increase in status no matter how it affects other people. She is told that newborns begin with extreme bloodlust, that she would be overcome with the desire/need to kill people and eat them. Edward says he will protect her from hurting anyone, but she is told that newborns are extremely strong as well. It’s not difficult to imagine Edward being over-powered. However likely অথবা unlikely it is, there exists the possibility that Bella becoming a vampire could result in the deaths of innocents. She does not even consider for a moment the risk she is taking with other people’s lives. What. The. Hell? That takes a HUGE lack of social conscience and empathy.


Conclusion:
I’m not formally trained to make a diagnosis, but it seems clear to me that Bella has sociopathic tendencies অথবা is severely abnormal in some way. অথবা maybe I'm just desperate to believe that there is no way a sane human could think the way Bella does.

Twilight vamps&other people;

Don't have fangs,
sparke in sunshine,
live on animal blood and call themselves veggies,
don't have a lumpy face,
live in really rich mansions(?),
don't have souls but are completely lame like rehabilitated drug-users(that never took drugs),
Can't be staked
Are looked (from the fangirls view)upon as superior beings that don't hurt anyone and call themselves dangerous
Stalk young girls only to seem romantic
Fall inlove with small children and beg to be their lover while they are like 16(just 12)
Don't belong in sassy teenage crap that is pure drama

They arenot vampires...

Ok, so I visited a fanclub not too long পূর্বে and I noticed this one প্রশ্ন I asked; "If Bella killed Renesmee, would Edward forgive her?" অথবা something like that.

I looked at the comments, and at first they were fine. But then as they progressed to the আরো সাম্প্রতিক ones, I had one girl saying what a stupid প্রশ্ন to ask, and some other crackhead telling me to go f**k myself.

Being my highly emotional self, I was irked to no end and I responded to these comments.

I'm trying to find a way to just মোছা this question, because I পোষ্ট হয়েছে it a বছর পূর্বে and don't even recall the reasons why it was...

Right ok, so there's all this hype surrounding Rob আরো so than any of the other cast from Twilight. But why?

It's not because he's the hottest. Because, well he just isn't. He was voted 'sexiest man alive' in numerous magazines such as heat and glamour. My personal favourite from the Twilight film is Peter Facinelli. I met him in July and he is the most geniune actor I have heard of. He has time for his fans, something which Rob doesn't.

Then again Rob does gets chased দ্বারা crazed অনুরাগী girls, so yeah valid excuse. But say if Peter played Edward, everyone would be all over him just because of the...

First off, I would like to say that I have absolutely no problem with the C.A.T. spot and have just joined myself. If anything, I think that this spot is a good idea and is definitely NOT an anti-spot. The point of this প্রবন্ধ is to explain the point of view of a Twilight অনুরাগী that does not just like the series because Edward Cullen is SO HOTTT <333, ভ্যাম্পায়ার are AwEsOmE, etc. etc.

Let me start off দ্বারা saying that I am SICK of uneducated Twilight অনুরাগী making the rest of us look like a bunch of air-heads. দ্বারা uneducated I mean অনুরাগী that scream their heads off whenever they see a picture of Robert...

Many people bash জনপ্রিয় চলচ্চিত্র because "It didn't measure up in the exact way they thought it would.

STOP PEOPLE!!! Stop your too Critical Analysis sometimes.Stop your phony rebukes.Just STOP!!!

And accept চলচ্চিত্র the way they come.

As a one time লেখক of a book called Elfin Magic (become a অনুরাগী of it:link)

I think i can speak for all(or at least most)authors when I say It's FINE!!! If someone offers আপনি a direct line to the চলচ্চিত্র and the লেখক refuses because the director says some plans that differentiate from the book and someone refuses then they are just stupid!!!

Miner changes and summarizing...

I was following an online series called the Hillywood Show. It was two girls অভিনয় in Johnny Depp roles such as Sweeney Todd,Ed Wood,Edward Scissorhands.Here is a link of one of their link.This is their link
But after the release of Twilight they have stopped doing the Johnny Depp impression which made them famous they started doing twilight video's but even worse . Its Twilight সঙ্গীত Video's. So that means cheesy সঙ্গীত and annoying dancing and skimpy outfits.
It reminded me of how twilight is no longer a personal thing no matter where we go we will see twilight dangled in our faces in merchandise,...
