Sociopath Community

Now this is something I agree with. Seeking to gain control gives life an objective, and without an objective, life is extraordinarily boring. So I agree the quest for control is stimulating, but when talking about the "ultimate high", I would say that is the end product. When all is said and done, and control is at my fingers, that is the ultimate high.

If we're continuing the drug analogy, then you start to come down.

I do enjoy being in control.

I also find stimulation in seeking to gain control.

Consider it the difference between disabling an obstacle and an exhilarating game. Alternatively, the difference between business and pleasure.

Psychopaths like being in control in both business and pleasure, yet you stated earlier that you get more enjoyment out of not being in control.

You replied: "As a psychopath, I agree. It stimulates a certain activity in my mind."

So, which is it...

You consider being in control more pleasurable or not being in control more pleasurable?

 I completely agree. Control is everything. It's the ultimate power.

Overall, I consider fighting for control more pleasurable than being in control because it's more intense and requires less maintenance. I consider gaining control the peak, and everything after that is a decline. I have a restless mind.

I see. You like the competition more than the end result.

I personally like the end result more because I like instant gratification. I do like competition a lot as well though, but it's really only a necessity to get what I ultimately desire and that is to win (to have power and control).

I always play to win, but once that happens I lose interest in the prize.

"Somehow,  I feel like Vicarious is Thrill Kill. Just saying."

Somehow I don't think Thrill even knew what Vicarious meant prior to there being a puppet that'd aim to live vicariously through her.

On topic, torture can be fun in a controlled setting.

You underestimate my level of knowledge. I used to read the dictionary when I was younger, just so I could increase my vocabulary. Learning new words was interesting to me.

So... you are Vicarious then?
