Isn't that the same thing?
You love those you wish to protect and see happy. You love your family and good friends.
Infatuation is a chaotic desire, a want, a yearning addiction. A good sociopaths is adept at cultivating and tempting with such yearning. They are sirens, masters of manipulation. They bring a sense of deep elation, because their affections are not natural, but distilled and concentrated. They are calculating, to read and intuit the desires of others.
I never loved these women, because I understood it was manipulation, it was distraction, for sport. But I did enjoy it for a time... It is a rollercoaster of extreme highs and lows... (infact these alternating highs and lows are what stimulate the intensity of the connection) to love a sociopath is to do battle with them, to play chess with them. They see a series of move with predictable outcomes. Their love is a selfish destraction, a game of control and power. A game which I will admit that I enjoy playing.
At the core of the sociopath is a longing for something they cannot truly attain. An innocent purity. Unattainable because like king midas, their touch corrupts the purity they wish to posess.
My dear silk thread, manipulation is not simply a matter of flattery. true manipulation goes deeper, it triggers emotion, good or bad and bonds you to your target. it is the art of cultivating a fixation... that fixation can then be used as a point of manuever, much like the bull fighters red cape. any interaction with two people is a simple cat/mouse game.
but to answer your question, yes I do speak with certain ladies this way. beautiful women in particular that have had their lives bombarded with others telling them how pretty they are... to give in to the desire to quote sonnets in her honor only makes you one of the many she knows she can have, but to deny her of her confidence is to build a curiosity... a fixation "why doesn't he like me"... to walk away... means she chases... to chase her means she runs away... cat and mouse....
and would i interact with a sociopath this way? ofcourse... i am curious to see who is more clever... cleverness and intellect is something i hold in high esteem... if i can be outsmarted... i have a master to study and grow from...
I'm not bothered, Jay. Just unimpressed. I find you to be the most entertaining person here. You get the juice going. But there's nothing charming about you from what I can tell, and unless your master plan was to have everyone rolling their eyes at you in digust; I don't see your skills of deeper manipulation. It's easy to offend this crowd. Even as they continue to pretend to be unmoved. Simply disliking their choice in music pushes their buttons. I would be more impressed to see you win them over. But I'm beginning to doubt you have that rare ability to make yourself candid and vulnerable to your audience. You are far too busy trying to weild your cock like a sword! LOL ;)
