Introverted and depressive sociopaths

I'm currently reading M.E.'s book, and shes stated a couple of times already that Sociopaths are immune to depression and negative emotions.

By negative emotions I assume she's just referring to guilt, shame and remorse, but just in case she isn't...

I don't feel guilty after doing something wrong, nor do I feel shame for taking advantage of someone, but I do feel sad a lot of the time, and get depressed a lot.

I'm a loner. I don't get lonely. This seems quite contrary to the idea that humans are a social race. I feel depressed because a lot of the time I just can't understand myself. I feel a sense of unfulfillment.

I've tried socialising and trying to make friends in the hopes that it would erase the hollow, negative feelings I get a lot of the time, but no matter if I have no one with me or a lot of people specifically paying attention to me, whether it be positive or negative, I'll still feel the same.

Most humans will feel bad for being alone, and feel happier and fulfilled with people around them. The number of people around me doesn't and never has effected my mood.

Anyone else the same?

No, unlike you, I am a loner by choice. I don't care to have people around me unless they're of use to me. I don't feel depressed. I feel neutral most of the time, aside from almost constant boredom.

The fact that you want friends to erase your negative feelings means you're not a loner at all. You're just depressed.

 I've felt similar to what you're describing not a long time ago, I've felt completely void, useless, lonely but I've gotten ridiculously better by attending school and feed my narcissism along the way as well. As I don't have many friends I tend to remain alone in my leisure time. The longer I'm socializing the more psychically balanced I get.

I'm not trying to make friends, I don't like sharing to anyone, but I do just hang around, establish positive relationships to stay around, have some fun and stimulate my mind.How do you feel if you're dating someone you like? It's a good way to keep your mind a little busy, too.

 Did you read my article? In fact, did any of you?

I never said I wanted friends, I said I tried gaining them to see whether or not it would help my mood, but it didn't.

I said quite specifically that having them didn't change my mood. I'm a natural loner because I do not require human connection and I can't connect to others. It was just an experiment, that's all.

I've not had any friends for nearly 7 years now, and I find being around people for a significant amount of time can be quite exhausting.

Curing depression by socializing is a myth spread by extraverts. Normal, introverted people don't get all happy happy just because there are other people there. Actually they might even feel worse. People need people for practical reasons more than emotional. Sure, were pack animals, but it is out of convenience. One thing you can do for yourself is not buying into stupid myths what people "are like". And never tell yourself you are that way.

 I don't. And I think people have gotten the completely wrong idea from this thread.

 Of course it didn't change your mood. Your deeply depressed. You need anti-depressants to change it.

Natural loners don't experiment by seeking friends to see if that will make them feel better...
