Sociopath Community

Hopeless romatics are what keep sociopaths "in business".  I hate romance.  I don't believe in love.  I believe in hormones and chemicals and the drive to mate/reproduce.  I don't believe in God or anything supernatural.  Yet, I can fall victim to words of eternal committement, love, protection, faithfulness, etc.  It's not that I actually believe in those things, but I believe that the person expressing them might.  I'm stupid and I think a lot of very smart people fall for stupidity - the hopeless romantic is that epitomy of stupidity.

 I don't know what a hopeless romantic might be like. I don't even have the patinece to get through your average romcom.

I've dumped guys for being too sappy and boring, though. 

Speaking of romance, I have a date to get thrashed and beaten by a moon-kissed ocean. Waves are choppy tonight. Later. :)

 A good point. I think you're right. A narc could be a hopeless romantic. Maybe a little different than you're average hopeless. A different approach maybe. Although I bet said narc would never admit it.

 Oh, totally. Some would even proudly proclaim to be, if to them, it meant being inherently all pure of heart. Co dependants are considered inverted narcs as you well know, and I believe the great majority of co dependants have that hopeless romantic thing going for them.

Yet the memory still affects me.

I wish I could have had a rationalization for my actions, that would fit other peoples' definition of what a romance is, but wasn't my desire a hopeless endeavour directed at pursuing that?

 Fine. You're a fucking hopeless romantic, if it means so goddamn much to you. Feel better?

Not really my dear.

Merely pointing out that at times we all desire something we struggle to perceive, but tend to be judgemental about.
