Very nice.
Plenty of crimes have been committed by people who are not sociopaths. Sociopaths do not have a monopoly on criminal or atrocious acts any more than empaths have a monopoly on self-less or "good" acts.
Due to my lack of social connectivity, I have many anti-social traits. One thing I don't share with sociopaths in general is the incredibly (and in some cases inflated) sense of self-worth. I struggle constantly with depression and self-loathing. As a result, I consciously choose to avoid the first stage entirely. I work to stay alive but tend to make decisions with others in mind first before dealing with my own needs. I'm not self-less but the self I have is not someone I like. My "empathy" is calculated, though and I tend to do seemingly irrational things trying to figure out what is going to match the needs of my circumstances.
