Sociopath Community

by clueless

 I meant that if you use guilt as a tool, you are less likely to actually feel guilty doing it.  I have a friend who uses guilt on me all the time to manipulate me into behaving a certain way. I have often put myself in his shoes to understand where he's coming from. he has sociopathic traits - a lot, specifically a lack of guilt. He does have an intellectual conscience that tells him how to act, though. This often confuses me. Sorry, I'm rambling and I haven't helped you at all. I'll stop now.

 Well, this is turning fun. Generally I will post something sarcastic or neutral to feel out the response before I loosen up and show more of a personality. 

The thing with being defined as a socio is that it's got a pretty restrictive definition (criminal behavior, etc)... and so forth.

What is this conscience you refer to?  I've heard it mentioned a few times here and there, and it seems to play an important role in determining whether or not an individual is sociopathic.  And what would be some differences between instinctive and intellectual consciences?

Of course. Playing on people's emotions simply requires awareness of what they're feeling (cognitive empathy). You don't have to feel guilt to encourage it in others. You only have to know what could cause them to feel it and then play on that.

 Hmm, your description sounds remarkable like something one of my OTHER friends would say. He's the only one who knows everything about me and I still have little to no trust for him. I've told him extensively about my behaviour, mainly to brag, partly to get another perspective and partially dismiss the researcher logic I exhibit. The only differences between your friend and myself could be levels of the traits comparably.

For instance, I like dark degrading sex. My definition of that goes as far as scratching until mildly bleeding, tying one another up and using blind folds excessively. Although, I will admit my lack of experience sexually. I only crave sex sometimes, when I do crave it I usually get it by some means or another, but I feel/think that my sex drive is less than my peers.

 This may come as a shock to you, but there's this thing called a dictionary. Even someone without a conscience is capable of reading what it is. So, either, you can read and you're just acting ignorant or you truly are as ignorant as you seem. Which is it?

I made the girl feel guilty in the end, and I'll be honest and say I'm not sure how I made my Friend feel. I know he was angry but not TOO angry.

I mean using guilt in myself. Like using guilt as a display of emotion without feeling before during or after. Can you commiserate with this?

Edited to be blank :)

 Your plan. You never mentioned ditching this guy you refer to as your friend. In any case, from my perspective what happened there is a hard lesson that happens to the underdeveloped. For the experienced who been there, not so much.

 It's easy to fake guilt. It's like acting a part - pretending to care and pretending to be sorry for whatever you did when you're actually not.

 Let me make something clear, Spatial. You have to take into account I'm not used to speaking clearly and with complete honestly, so when I say "friend" you can assume I mean someone I interact with, not someone I care about.

I appreciate the use of assumption to provoke an informative response, but your delivery is annoying.

I didn't care whether I still had either of these people in my life at any point. I used them, got what I wanted (Helped both move forward, got some sex, and tore people who love each other apart, not including the hundreds of other extraneous ways they benefited me) and got out.

You are partially right though, inexperience played a part. It was only my third try at tearing apart two lovers.
