i love your brilliance and the way you deal with issues here

Okay.

ChrisLeeO:
Please i need to speak with you urgently before i do something.......

Mail me at wazlax55@gmail.com

IamLEGEND1:
I'm sure you do. O! wise one.
Because a comment is all the evidence great minds like you require to detect in no uncertain terms the true nature of any person on this forum.
show me a PhD in a behavioural science or retreat into a dark corner and stay there.
And in the spirit of returning unsolicited tips- quit all the Sherlock Holmes literature and movies......it'll do you a world of good.

next!

Why are you so defensive? Lol. You are acting like a kid who got angry because someone disputed his claim that he was superman.

Dude you are not a sociopath. Sociopaths don't argue with people who disprove their tacit claims of being sociopaths. And your first comment where you glorified sociopathy and defined it as awesome was all I needed to know that you weren't one.

You regard sociopathy like it's a superpower. Like what other proof do I need? You aren't a sociopath man. You are just an obsessed fan of sociopathy.

IamLEGEND1:
You don't know me or what I am.
I might actually be a sociopath for all you know. Don't speak confidently about things you know little about.
either way, I generally don't care about a lot of things in this world and I wouldn't trade that general sense of apathy for anything.
it's so much fun watching people lose their shit_over issues that barely register on my radar.
and there is nothing wrong with being selfish. serve your interests first before paying attention to other people's problems.

Blah blah blah. I know a sociopath when I see one. You are just a red-pilled wannabee who has watched too many crime movies and who thinks being a sociopath is cool.

Largely innate but still somewhat influenced by culture/society. Both genders are hard wired to like certain things through evolution, society also influences us by promoting these things as symbols of masculinity, femininity etc.

Now you are subtly altering your position and I find this quite disingenuous. If the traits that women find attractive in men are LARGELY innately hardwired, whether through evolution or some divine programming, then your previous statement is wrong or at best lopsided. Just admit you were wrong instead of trying to justify your mistake. It's really annoying.

IamLEGEND1:
Just those minor things and you're worried about being sociopathic?

if so,then I'm probably a full-blown psychopath with a side offering of dissociative personality disorder. I care more about my laptop than I do 98% of the people I know.
and let me tell you, it's a fucking_awesome state of mind to be in. the last time I shed a tear was when I fell and scraped my knee on my back home from primary school.

revel in the advantage you have over all these pussy_humans.

No it's not an awesome state to be in. Only someone who observes sociopathy from the outside would think that it's awesome. Don't speak so confidently about things you know close to nothing of.

Sometimes sociopathy can be an incredibly lonely experience given the inability to connect with another person on a deep level and the extremely selfish and hedonistic lens through which sociopaths view their world, other times it just leaves you with a load of indignation and resentment towards the world. Also, the fact that you have to pretend to give a fork in most situations in order to survive and thrive in society can also be painfully annoying and exhausting as well. I really don't see what's awesome about this mental defect.

ibkayee:
They've been socialised to associate it with masculinity, power, attractiveness etc. Similar to how guys like breasts, ass, youth etc

They weren't socialized. It's an inherent feminine trait. It's just like saying men are socialized to find a woman's breast attractive. That's a ridiculous thing to say. Except you don't know what the word socialised means.

I don't deliberately harm people and I only lie when I know that saying the truth might get me into trouble. I feel love for people but I don't help strangers unless they ask for my help, when I see someone in need of help, I feel the urge to help them but because I have problems approaching/relating with people, I just wait for them to ask me instead of offering to help. I don't think I'm manipulative although people usually find it hard to say no to me because of my face. I'm good in most areas, I'm just not good at relating with people/making friends, and I'm not emotional.

Okay, you certainly aren't a sociopath. You are just a neurotypical introvert. You are free to take that guy's advice. Stay safe.

Mhizgracie01:
I like keeping to myself but maybe that's just introversion like someone mentioned earlier. I have like three good friends tho, I met all of them in secondary school.

How do you feel when you deliberately harm someone? How often do you lie? Do you feel guilt when you lie? Are you manipulative? Do you feel love towards people?

Mhizgracie01:
Thank you very much,i like your suggestions. I'll do my best to work on my attitude.

Before you take his advice, let's clarify on a few things, so you don't waste your time doing stuff that won't work. Besides a lack of empathy, which other trait do you exhibit that suggests sociopathy?

TeekayCarter:
I smell pride.

Smell whatever you like.

Mhizgracie01:
I actually found your comment more helpful than the others and I would have quoted all of you separately but I was feeling quite lazy, don't be offended.

I'm not offended.

gsainttrinity:
Are you a sociopath?

You sound questionable.

Psychopath is my preferred terminology. Although both terms are used interchangeably these days.

gsainttrinity:
No, no.. I was not complementing her to get her attention. She is truly beautiful. And I have have a girlfriend whom I love and is also as beautiful.

I believe she is normal anyway.. At least she has not given any cause for alarm that might scare me or anyone.

Personally, I have a little trait of dulled empathy too and it nothing serious.

Dulled empathy. Hmm. How does a case of dulled empathy differ from the lack of empathy that's commonly associated with sociopathy?

Mhizgracie01:
Thanks, I found your comments quite helpful.

I'm mildly infuriated that you lumped my post with that of others when it's obvious that I was speaking from a more "informed" perspective. Again you've proven that you aren't a sociopath. Sociopaths can easily identify other sociopaths and they interact with them differently.

Sanchez01:
The best part is that you have actually been able to figure something is amiss. With that said, your behaviour could indeed be sociopathic but that would be hasty and conclusive.

You might be suffering from a rare medical condition called Familial Dysautonomia (FD), or Riley-Day Syndrome which would prevent the necessary reflex to form tears, which results in crying without tears. FD is very rare and it would be too hasty to also conclude that you are suffering from it.

That you didn't cry over the loss of loved ones could also be as a result of shock. Your body might have been sent it quite fast that you could not let out tears.

Another could be an autoimmune disease called Sjögren's syndrome which affects glands that produce moisture in the body such as tear ducts.

For the other behaviours you mention, they point towards sociopathy but then again, it's just an assumption at the moment.

I would suggest you see a Psychologist. Stay safe.

You just quickly googled this right? Don't lie. I'm not stupid.

gsainttrinity:
A very beautiful sociopath indeed!!

On a serious note, you should be concerned about depression setting in...

What you have to do talk about the bad things with people and appreciate the fact that they are really bad stuffs and try to be open to friendships and relationships at least to the point of your tolerance and comfort.

Complementing the physical attributes of someone who might be a sociopath in hopes of getting on her good side isn't a smart thing to do. If you are looking for a girl to befriend, date, have sex with or marry, it's safer if you consider someone normal. It's for your own good.

A sociopath wouldn't be worried by this, he/she would just be curious and mildly intrigued. The fact that you seem worried that you might have a problem diminishes the possibility of you being a sociopath. Except of course if this whole "I am worried that I might be a sociopath" thing is just an act.

Not having friends and preferring to spend time alone doesn't actually make one a sociopath, it's just a characteristic of introversion, and there can be sociopaths who are introverted as well as extroverted. The difference however between a sociopath who is introverted and an ordinary introvert, is that a sociopath can alter his personality to one of a typical extrovert just to present a persona that helps him or her to achieve a goal. So an introverted sociopath who hates keeping friends can easily pretend to be outgoing, friendly or charismatic when meeting someone or people he aims to manipulate, use or gain something from, and he can keep the act for as long as he needs to, but when he has gotten what he wants, he immediately reverts to his default personality.

Being indifferent when people close to you die is a marker of a lack of empathy which is a primary trait of sociopathy, but although a lack of empathy is a defining trait of sociopathy, it's not restricted to sociopaths. People who are autistic also have a hard time expressing emotions in these kind of situations due to an extreme lack of understanding social cues and responding appropriately to them.

To be honest, I really don't think you are a sociopath. If you are one, then you are an extremely unintelligent one and you won't be able to function or thrive in today's society. No sociopath would ask this kind of question with an online profile that has her picture, the link to her blog which also has her name on it, and the name of her university. The power and effectiveness of a sociopath rests in the fact that they are able to navigate the world by presenting themselves as what they are not and this power is lost when people know what they are. No sociopath wants anyone to know that they are sociopaths.
