That's what I find strange about it, you see.
All of these behaviors are stress (fear) related.
It's clear that these poor things live in abject fear. It's like they feel they don't belong here or something.
How is it clear that they live in abject fear? I would disagree... I believe it's a sign that they have at some point experienced something traumatic and built defense mechanisms to help defend against them accordingly...
The mind has many methods of dealing with outside stimuli that help someone cope with their environment, if anything this is the body functioning properly to help the subject acclimate to its environment.
I would not pity a sociopath. They are our species soldiers and survivors... They serve a very specific function and when functioning on a high level they are beneficial to society. In fact if anything, I'd pity the coddled "well adjusted" types... who never experienced pain and trauma... They aren't ready for it... sociopaths are... which is why they don't fear it.
1. This is the internet... it is what it is.
2. You're making alot of inferences based on little factual data. Which leads me to think you're projecting and therefore talking about your own subjective experiences. You can postulate all you like about the people here and label them in your mind accordingly... after all that's what humans do, we need nice little boxes to fit everyone inside of... unfortunately things are not so black and white, and for you to think such only shows the limitations of your intellect.
3. Maybe you should rethink why you came here... what are your prejudges? what are your bias's and assumptions? and what is actually fact? Maybe you should spend less time in an online forum and more time in actual scientific lit in order to make more educated assumptions. Because I think you know very VERY little about what you're talking about. and there's nothing wrong with that... unless you choose to stay willfully ignorant... That's the only sin...
The ignorance of others... It's the most disappointing constant in this world.
You are obviously limited to your assumptions Jones. So I will not argue with you. But I will leave you with a thought about sociopaths.

They are the drive for society... the are the voice of change... they are the leaders...
They are the alexander the greats, they are the donald trumps, they are the george pattons, they are they the soldiers that fight and bloody their hands so you can sleep safe and sound at night. And if you ever want to know what a sociopath has done for you, you have little more than to look at your computers and think about bill gates... or the DARPA Net that was funded by the military that later became the internet...
You're blind... and that's exactly how wolves want their sheep...
Just remember: Wolves don't lose sleep over the thoughts of sheep.
