Sociopath Community

I certainly agree with that, but I think there's still an element of reality to it.

I like this idea. This is my first post here, so you will readily see what I may have read in this forum before deciding to answer like this

My proposed show: Am I Sociopath?

I could not care less if the "actors" are or are not. Some of us would be able to tell sooner or later and that seems amusing to me. I'd watch once, at least. I'll watch just about anything once.  But, I will say this: if anyone asks if the others think they are a sociopath...open season. Good for you, you want attention and the world now functions as an excellent path to ATTENTION.

This is venting and has shit to do with your question, but I (barely) tried.

 Continue...

You can vent freely here.

I seriously doubt there are many people who would openly ask others if they are a sociopath in a real life situation. I know I sure as shit wouldn't, nor do I need to. There may be some who would be stupid enough to ask that question, but I've never seen it happen yet.

What, sociopaths who suck at research yet value a second opinion aren't allowed to be curious about themselves?

 Awesome because I am not quite ready to reel it back in:  who asks "strangers" online for a mental diagnosis?

And why so damn ignorant? I don't hurt people for fun. That is not fun. What's the use? Why would I waste my time? Google serial killers. I feel like what can be discussed here is something else entirely. (Or, if that doesn't sound cold enough for lurkers: there is nothing in it for me to just randomly hurt somebody, especially someone that has never hurt me and actually cares about me. I know what that is (caring/love), what that feels like, and I do value it. I can even return it, but its mostly exhausting and I am pretty much always resentful of playing along.)

The "issue" here is: I don't care. I am sick of acting like I care. I don't. I don't get why this is wrong even. It's honest. To me, its the good honesty. I don't care, go elsewhere for what you need. Right? This is somehow scary or sick? Of course I care about people. (Well, I did, but she died and now I really cannot bring that level of feeling up for anybody else. I will act like it because there are some people in my life and, well, knowing my reality, it would hurt them. There is nothing to be gained for that and they actually care about me, why would I even consider hurting them?) Maybe I should have started a new thread, but thank you. I had to say it somehwere. I needed to see that I said it b/c I am smart enough to know I can't be running around telling people. You get it or you don't. You are or you are not. If you have to ask...this isn't something cool, its really annoying. It has to be explained; it comes with insufferable follow up questions b/c somebody is convinced you are going to go out and be homicidal. Then, they get bored b/c there isn't any blood.

 Is there a single sociopath that actually wants to be labelled in real life situations? I very much doubt it.

In real life, it's all about staying under the radar and blending in.

If they're smart, yes. There is such a thing as a dumb sociopath. Could try to become public about it to try to appear badass, or to relieve boredom.

Edit: Also can't forget comorbidities that might make them more open about it.

 Or get rich from book sales?

 There are posts on this very forum (other threads), asking that very thing. So, you missed those and that is something to be happy about. I saw those first. I could have stopped reading, but we can't often control how we waste time on the Internet.
