Please discuss: I'm either a sociopath or I'm insane

For a while, I wondered if I was a sociopath. I read the book and looked over the website. At times, I care about helping others and get deeply involved in helping them, although, I will admit that once the novelty of being an awesome person for helping wears off I get annoyed that I'm helping and can't wait for it to be over.

Here's why I think I may be crazy: I am thrilled when there's a natural disaster. I could never physically harm another person, but I'm happy when nature does it. I love the drama of when things go horribly wrong. I don't necessarily want individuals to suffer, but I do love the chaos of the situation. I love high death tolls. Maybe love is the wrong word. I am thrilled by the high numbers. After 9-11, I wasn't sad about what happened that day in particular. I didn't like hearing about individual stories, but the day, overall, was amazing.

Like I said, I wouldn't physically hurt another person, but I don't mind if things happen to them that screws with them if they are someone I dislike. There is a really nasty woman I know who was just diagnosed with cancer. I hope it kills her. She's so mean anyway and it would be so much easier for me if I didn't have to deal with her anymore. So, what do you think? Sociopath or crazy?

That's interesting CrazyOne! You know, I find global catastrophic events to be a little entertaining as well. It's interesting watching the social dynamic of our society as it responds to these disasters. They are always in variety as well as very original.

For example, that huge flood in China, and then the nuclear reactor in Japan, and hurrican Katrina a couple years ago, and even the NSA scandal that's going on is quite interesting, and even 9-11. I remember being a little kid in school and thinking to myself omg, please fall, please fall, and people were jumping out of the building and like it was surreal to me. And then all the smoke and the drama and the clean up after. My parents came and took me out of school. It was an amazing day for me.

Welcome to the forum by the way.

You probably just think life sucks, and love when the world goes out of it's way to prove you right with a dramatic display. Introverted form of loathing of the world around you, probably coupled with a low drive.

I've known a few of those. Some of them love play on word humor related to morbid stuff.

I enjoy it as well. Sadism is most likely your trait in this regard not insanity.

Altho schziophrenics do have a lack of emotional affect as well.
