Confusion and Questions.

Hi,

From what I understand there is a spectrum of sociopathic behaviour.

Some land in jail and others in business, if this is true what are the types of a sociopath?

From what i've been told and learnt from people is that I am most likey sociopathic to a degree, I enjoy being around animals more than humans, I meet most of the checklist with the 'shallow effect' and the 'empathy at an all time low' to name only a few.

Could it be that in some cases being a sociopath is purely enviromental, somewhat like a pack alpha, but nothing like the highschool alpha who is just a douchebag. From the information posted on the sight about one sociopath per two hundred people, would that not make the idea of a sociopath being a type of alpha more feasible?

For a description of myself, I enjoy manipulating events and people to see what outcome it would have, I enjoy the lying to strangers and friends for the sheer fun of doing it. I really don't care about if someone is getting married or have had kids, if I was put a 'label' on myself it would be a cynical small islands lad who is charming in person but useless in groups and has a talnet for the 'cold reading' of people.

Now this may be a thing of annoyance to some people with people posting on the site, 'help me I think in a sociopath I kicked a dog and didn't care' blah blah. I hope I have not broken the rule set on this fourm, and no one finds this post insulting or 'hipster', if so I will remove the topic.

This post was merely a built up need for answers of why people look at me weirdly when I have done something that I would deem normal.

Regards,

Hi,

From the information and questions above;

Sociopaths and alpha pack leaders, similar?
Is the description of myself sociopathic?
Are sociopathic people good at 'cold reading'?
Did I break any rules?

These are a compiled version of the post, and therefore all questions above are expanded in the original post.

Mainly for the use and reading of Jay.

Regards,

Sociopaths are in my opinion are the alphas of our species. If you look at anyone that holds a leadership/alpha position well they will usually display many of the traits a sociopath/psychopath would.

Sociopaths are charming and manipulative, skills needed by a leader/alpha to control a group.

Sociopaths are usually very dominant and agressive, tend to have higher levels of testosterone.

Sociopaths are sexually promiscous much like any alpha in a pack usually has his pick of women.

Sociopaths are risk takers, unafraid to step up to the plate and dominate when needed.

Your description of yourself certainly has qualities of a psychopath. Of all the people asking this yours comes off as the most genuine to me. I wouldn't however say this is conclusive evidence that you are a sociopath, but would assume that you fall heavier on the spectrum that the average.

Sociopaths are very good at cold reading, contrary to popular belief sociopaths have a strong acumen for empathy, the ability to get inside of their targets mind and understand them on a much deeper level than the average. We tend to be very adept at reading and understanding body language and other non-verbal cues.

There are no rules here.

Hi,

Thank you for answering, I do intend to have a test to satisfy my curiosity, and yours if it has been peeked.

I will let you know the results when I do.
