As much as this is a sociopath forum, there are quite a few non-sociopaths here. I've read a lot of people's reasoning for why they are or aren't, but it's spread pretty far across multiple topics.
What I am more curious about now is the numbers, what the ratio is of one versus the other. Are there more people who think they are sociopaths here, or are there more people who think they're not?
I know that I am, although according to the rule book, since I sometimes state (publicly) that I am, this means I'm not. Although I mostly do that because it scares some people and fear gives me some power over a person, especially if they tell me their dirty secrets because they know I won't have any kind of emotional reaction to it.
If you want to find out this answer Turn. You will need to word it differently. Most of the people in here, have done there research on sociopathy by now, and they know that most sociopaths do not recognise themselves as a sociopath.
That is why some people in here don't speak or admit to saying that they think they are one. They do this in hopes of convincing others subliminally that they are sociopaths without having to come out and say it.
I will use you and systematic as a example. You two both have taken this, subliminal approach, in trying to convince others that you are sociopaths or even psychopaths. By the way you word your posts.
Every supposedly new person who joins always opens up with the same shit. How they think they might be a sociopath because of there lack of empathy and how they like to manipulate others around them.
To me this is very obvious. But I think to others they are not capable of seeing this. So it turns into a post battle of who reigns superior as a sociopath.
Everyone in here joined this forum for one reason. The name "Sociopath Community". Some have joined in hopes of learning something about this disorder and seeing if they relate at all to the other members who have joined. But I believe most have joined because they have self diagnosed themselves as a sociopath.
It is easier to blame your social flaws on a disorder (sociopath). Than it is to blame yourself.
