Sociopath Community

No, you're not a sociopath...

lol i feel like it could be a mix, provided i am one of course. and as far as your joke thread i dont care, it was amusing. either way, somebody might be able to learn from it, or have a laugh. 

i dont think anyone in my immediate family has been diagnosed with anything like that, but they arent my biological family so i cant really say whether that has anything to do wih it. ive experienced depression in the past, but it was relatively mild, and hasnt returned. i know a fair amount, i took an AP psych course. 

Scriv,

I read through your posts.  You sound like a good friend of mine who is simply depressed with a precondition of asberger's syndrome.

There's a difference between sociopathy and depression with the "not caring" attitude you admit to have. A sociopath will "not care", but will choose to use the person that they do not "care" about for whatever use they have to the sociopath.  A depressed person will just choose to ignore the person that they do not care about.

An example:  I was talking to my friend, who noted that he hated everyone in his class, so he sits in the back with a hoodie on, so that people do not talk to him.  My response was to ask why he does not sit next to them and figure out if the person is a smart student in the class, then use that intelligence until the end of the semester, at which time he would just need to stop communicating with the person after the end of the semester.  

If you think that my response is a little far-fetched, then you are definitely not a sociopath.

i find your theory amusing, mainly because i know i am neither depressed or with asbergers. its a good theory, but your friend reminds me nothing of myself. he is completely withdawn, whereas i walk among them, and when presented with an opportunity to use someone in the way you suggest, i happily take it. if they prove to be usefull again, i keep their symbiosis until it is no longer required. while i do say i hate everyone, it isnt really on an individual scale, where i hate every last person on an individual level, but a burning hate of the stupidity of humanity as a whole. 

Well, that does make a difference.  Have you explored narccisism? 

I do not hate humanity, because it is useful to an end.  You must be able to see that, having the sociopathic nature that you think you have.

i like myself, but not quite to that extent. and to use that which you hate againt itself to benefeit yourself is just that much more satisfying. it is not required to like or dislike for something to be used. it has its purpose and is used accordingly

 I am liking you so far.  What's up Donald?

The so called sociopathy is a myth, based on neurological dereliction of an emotional response to what the environment subjugates an individual to.

Resisting the consequential realms entwined with inevitability of that reality, yet persevering, while enjoying the senselessness of what is perceived as thus, is not a pathology, but merely an adaptation, that is developed, or passed on through generations in order to survive in the most efficient manner.

There. I said it and am not sticking by it, as a better explanation is surely out there.
