Sociopath Community

This. All of this. I like that shit.

I totally agree with all of what youre saying. I grew up in middle class so by no means do I know any of your struggles although I still dont know the luxuries of upper class.

people simply liked being around me because I carried a humorous sense of optimism

I have the same exact thing happen with me. My network of friends enjoy being with me simply because I have speak with such logical optimism that it uplifts them. That being said, I have no other sociopathic friends so they are all really emotional.

What about pessimistic people who recognize what they have? Some find it hard to be grateful, instead feeling like shit once they realize that having more than someone else isn't enough for them.

In fact, some become even gloomier when they notice that, calling themselves "spoiled" for it.


"Some people just need to know what it's like to stuggle."

Struggle is a core requirement for growth as a person. I'd say it benefits more than "some".

I don't think that struggling with things has made me better or worse than anyone, it's just life. Things happen, you deal with them. Whatever your struggles are, someone can say they had worse, like it's some sort of contest. It's ridiculous really, you either deal with your problems or you don't, no matter what those problems are.

I'll criticize someone for not dealing with their issues, but I don't see the point in saying their issues aren't bad enough or they don't know real struggle. I don't place enough value on the concept of struggling to see it as any sort of measurement.

I agree with you. Optimistic people are more successful and more liked. Pessimism, negativity and mockery will come back to bite you in the ass sooner or later.

Ironically, even judging pessimistic people will come to back to haunt you eventually.. Stay on your toes.

"What about pessimistic people who recognize what they have? Some find it hard to be grateful, instead feeling like shit once they realize that having more than someone else isn't enough for them." 

That sounds like a personal problem. I have no pity for them. If they have an empty feeling of irrelevance than they can something about that. They have the resources, the option is open for them.

Oh, it's nothing but a personal problem. I was simply curious on your take of that type of person.

Too many people go through the walks of life today without knowing what a little friction feels like. And they suffer because of it, history will repeat itself so it's best to have had that experience first hand. I see grown adults walking around like children, it pains me to know how ignorant they are to conflicts physical or mental. 

I don't see why it matters. You're just judging someone by their past. A person who has overcome a lot might end up breaking down in the face of a new challenge when a person who never previously struggled ends up handling it well.

I don't really care what caused someone to be the way they are, I just decide if they are someone I want in my life.

I haven't been judging people and I don't plan to.

Your responses don't seem to be geared towards my posts. Perhaps your perceiving me with someone in your life who has similar traits.  Just an observation.

"I don't really care what caused someone to be the way they are, I just decide if they are someone I want in my life."    I agree with you here.

I only care when my life is frequently inhabited by ungrateful people, whose behavior stems from a cupcake childhood.
