Sociopath Community

 That just sounds like lust to me.

 There does not necessarily have to be passion in lust, but whatevs brah

Love is when I realize, that I'm not playing a game, or a gamble with a person I have tried to understand and have created a permanent image of in my mind.

That's when I'm willing to be patient and focused on that very person, while balancing an act of sharing simple things in life (food and other corporal pleasures) and sacrificing the most important ones (my time and health).

It takes me a while, but in the end it is a worthwhile thing to pursue, despite the fact, that it has never worked out for me in the romantic sense.

Thus I understand, that I'm not very likely to ever love another person for the sensation of fulfillment, that being with your other half can be, but I can love those closest to me never the less.

Or perhaps I have simply never met the woman, that would be able or willing to share and enjoy my passions.

Love, to me, is to value something or someone, but it's a little more than that at the same time.

Without love, I would say that gold and all treasures would be worthless.

From my experience there are two types of love.

Care for the well being of those you are connected too in some way: Family or friends who you wish to protect and maintain because they in some way enhance your life. this comes from the need for social cohesion and the neurochemical oxytocin.

and then there is desire, fixation, magnatism, attraction, the animal instinct to reproduce that fires off a a concert of neural chemicals in your head, that feeds the reward system of the brain by flooding it with dopamine, literally making you feel high or addicted to this person.

i do not believe it is any different for empaths or sociopaths... i think we are both the same in this respect, driven by animal instinct and evolutionary neurological impulses. we are all human after all.

I think I loved a girl once. I'm not sure though since she was great in bed. It might have been lust in combination with respect. 

 You just used the word "brah" therefore your argument is invalid.

I define (romantic) love as two people properly meeting each other's emotional and sexual needs. I measure it by how much they've endured as a couple and how much they would sacrifice for each other. 

 Right... because sociopaths are just so loving and caring, lol.

I bet you care deeply for your family and friends, you big ol' sociopathic panda bear, you.

 Watch the Iceman Tapes on youtube.

He was a serial killer, cold blooded murderer. He's killed so many that he can't even count. BUT he loved his family more than anything in his life. During an interview he cried, because he knew he hurt his family. He was diagnosed in that interview.
