sociopaths natural state

I have an idea about something but I'm not sure if its basis is founded on a correct assumption, so I need some help from you all.  What seems to be the common state you are in as an individual with sociopathic tendencies?  Like do you worry much, or are you pretty content and happy most of the time?  I know we all have moments of ups and downs, but what is your primary state?

The reason being, I have an assumption that people with sociopathic tendencies have a lesser occurrence of disease like cancer. 

I'd like to hear your input and thoughts if you have any..

it depends

some might be suffering depression others for anxiety or paranoid or anger or some kind of obsession like hatred or love

this questions seems more related to psychopaths

 

think of sociopath as the more emotional verson of a psychopath

Because living dangerously, committing crimes, making people hate you, and swallowing a ton of drugs and alcohol  and hanging out in jail cells,is good for anyone's health.

The idea is based on the thought that they feel less fear, worry, anxiety, all which bring about negative feeling energy within due to what might be a smaller than average amygdala, just a theory that's why I wanted to ask

Yea, I get that.

 

Maybe you will develop ulcers, stomach problems,  blood in your stools, high blood pressure, etc. You can't fool your body. Stress creeps in even if you don't feel it in your head.

Sociopaths in general have a weaker fear response, thus it would make sense that they would be more immune anxiety related issues, including heart disease, weight issues, etc

Their narcissism would also make them more prone to exercise and eating in moderation.

So it would make sense that all in all they are healthier than most.

All of this is assuming they are high functioning sociopaths that aren't getting too heavily involved in drugs or crime (which they may be prone to doing due to their risk taking behavior)

My primary mental state is neutral and maybe content. I plan a few tiny steps ahead and then just proceed with the plan. When something or someone makes it hard for me to keep to the plan I may feel a little stressed or highly angered depending on the speed bump. Nevertheless, once the problem is solved I get back to my neutral self. The thing that makes me tick is food for thought. I'm never bored for as long as I have something to think or plot about. The realization of the idea is also quite pleasing.

I do agree that one's mental state affects his/her overall well-being. Not sure about its relation to cancer though since other things are involved as well.

My primary state is neutral contentment. I don't feel any emotion at all when I'm in that state.

The only other emotions I feel quite often are boredom and aggression. Though, aggression is not really an emotion. It's more of a yearning desire to commit violence.

The boredom stems from an almost constant craving for excitement. It takes more for me to experience excitement than the average person.

When there's nothing in my life witch irritates me in some way I am very neutral and calm.

But due to my life situation I often feel rather neurotic, paranoid and distressed for the last months. That's why I have to monitor my mood and thouhgts. I have slipped before and went down a very ugly spiral.
