Sociopath Community

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oppositional_defiant_disorder

Signs and symptoms[edit]Some signs and symptoms that must be perpetuated for longer than 6 months and must be considered beyond normal child behavior to fit the diagnosis are:[2][3]The child must exhibit 4 out of the 8 signs and symptoms listed below in order to meet the DSM-IV-TR diagnostic threshold for oppositional defiant disorder[4]Actively refuses to comply with majority's requests or consensus-supported rules[5]Performs actions deliberately to annoy others[5]Angry and resentful of others[3]Argues often[3]Blames others for his or her own mistakes[6]Often loses temper[6]Spiteful or seeks revenge[6]Touchy or easily annoyed[6]Generally, these patterns of behavior will lead to problems at school and other social venues.[3]Common features of oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) include excessive, often persistent anger, frequent temper tantrums or angry outbursts, as well as disregard for authority. Children and adolescents with ODD often purposely annoy others, blame others for their own mistakes, and are easily disrupted. Parents often observe more rigid and irritable behaviors than in siblings.[7] In addition, these young people may appear resentful of others, and when someone does something they don't like they prefer revenge over more sensitive solutions.[8]For a child or adolescent to qualify for a diagnosis of ODD, these behaviors must cause considerable distress for the family and/or interfere significantly with academic or social functioning. Interference might take the form of preventing the child or adolescent from learning at school or making friends, or placing him or her in harmful situations. These behaviors must also persist for at least six months. Effects of ODD can be greatly amplified by other disorders in comorbidity such as ADHD.[9] Other common comorbid disorders include depression and substance use disorders.[10]

I don't think that not bonding in an emotional way makes someone a sociopath. Most interpersonal relationships are based out of self interest, even if that interest is as innocuous as enjoying the other person's company.  The purpose of laws and social structure is just to keep peace in a diverse group of inherently self interested people. 

Out of curiosity, what sort of things do you feel remorse for?

by Metafysik

What do you consider to be sociopathic traits? I exhibit a general uncaring attititude to everyone around me all day and I don't regard others emotions while talking or acting.

A general uncaring attitude could relate to a lot of things that aren't sociopathic.

Depression, Narcissistic PD and Schizoid PD to name but a few.

I feel remorse for people I have wronged directly with my actions. That's about all. But, I really don't care if I offend people or  hurt them emotionally, just physically.

So, you also have moral conscience, which is another thing that rules out sociopathy.

Yeah I do feel bad about hurting people physically, just not emotionally. So It's really difficult for me to determine what the hell is wrong with me.

hey captain check

you didn't check these which also are a requirement for sociopathy

Here is something interesting: http://blogs.psychcentral.com/forensic-focus/2010/07/sociopathy-vs-psychopathy/

"However, other differences between psychopathy and sociopathy, aside
from origin, have been cited. The capacity to feel attachment and
empathy towards another and to feel guilt and shame after doing
something wrong is not associated with psychopathy; however it is
suggested that sociopaths can emotionally attach to others, and
feel badly when they hurt those individuals that they are attached
to. The sociopath will still lack empathy and attachment toward the
greater society and will not feel guilt in harming a stranger, or
rebelling against laws, but does not lack empathy entirely, as is
typical with the psychopath.

Therefore, both psychopaths and sociopaths are capable of committing
heinous crimes; however, the psychopath would commit crimes against
family members or “friends” (as well as strangers) and feel little to no
remorse.

The last main difference between psychopathy and sociopathy is in the
presentation. The psychopath is callous, yet charming. He or she will
con and manipulate others with charisma and intimidation and can
effectively mimic feelings to present as “normal” to society. The
psychopath is organized in their criminal thinking and behavior, and can
maintain good emotional and physical control, displaying little to no
emotional or autonomic arousal, even under situations that most would
find threatening or horrifying.  The psychopath is keenly aware that
what he or she is doing is wrong, but does not care.

Conversely, the sociopath is less organized in his or her demeanor;
he or she might be nervous, easily agitated, and quick to display anger.
A sociopath is more likely to spontaneously act out in inappropriate
ways without thinking through the consequences. Compared to the
psychopath, the sociopath will not be able to move through society
committing callous crimes as easily, as they can form attachments and
often have “normal temperaments.” The sociopath will lie, manipulate and
hurt others, just as the psychopath would, but will often avoid doing
so to the select few people they care about, and will likely feel guilty
should they end up hurting someone they care about.

So, while these two terms seem interchangeable on the surface because
they share many of the same characteristics, they are more like two
sides of the same coin. Looking at the differences may seem futile;
however, looking at psychopathy and sociopathy as different constructs
may prove to be helpful in understanding the etiology of these
disorders, and in the development of effective treatment methods."

thrill kill has the schizoid and paranoid features

It could be because when people are emotionally hurt it's usually just a side effect of you doing what you personally want, but physically hurting someone is generally a result of loss of temper. You might feel regret about having done something accidentally, but not care about the side effects of things you've done deliberately.

Do you feel regret for things like lying or stealing (assuming you don't get caught)?
