Sociopath Community

by Spatial Mind

Friends will drag you down. They don't wish to be left behind while you move on to a higher wavelength. The stranger does not feel jealous of you, while the friend in many cases will.

When you evolve into a higher class. Making more money, it's an abomination for us to lend money to those who can't afford to pay us back. The friend will expect your professional skills to be at their disposal for cheap, or free.

Hide your friends from those who are key to your success... Or else things WILL get complicated, as it is them who'll represent you. Also, friends will want a slice of the pie. This works in mysterious ways, and you'll see calamity manifest in your life in some way.

Not only in business or career ventures must we leave people out of it. But also in romance, however, romance can wreck your game too.

Any entrepreneur book comes with a disclaimer suggesting how your friends will be offended by the nature of you trying to succeed, and you'll lose them. They'll disagree with your aloofness and be at ease when you sacrifice your build time to go party with them. In my personal experience, it had to do with racing to meet a deadline, and stuffing in a 3 day camping trip. The friend does not care about your job like they may seem to. They will never lose sleep over what you stress over.

For example, hanging around my buddy Edvard does absolutely nothing for me. For me to even invest my time in him means I'll take a hit. Still at the end of the day, I'm better off with my hard earned status, while he's some jackass who does nothing day and night. That wouldn't get me anything -_-

 This is not my experience at all.  I've never gotten the sense that my friends were jealous of me, and in fact, I've found my personal connections to be the most profitable aspect of my life, aside from my own will power and blind luck.   And I never feel any resentment towards friends who are more successful than I am.  Then again, I'm generally not a jealous person to begin with, but on the rare occasion that I feel jealousy, it's always directed at strangers.

My friends have always been immensely supportive of my ambitions, financial and otherwise, and never ask for anything from me.  I think maybe you choose shitty friends, Spatial. : /

I said friends get jealous "in many cases", as it is true. I also said it like that to avoid hearing any feedback along those lines.

Why be jealous of strangers, and what's there to be jealous of in that case ? There are vast amounts of people we don't know who have it the way we'd like.

Your friends are then valuable to you, and will be for a time. In your case if things don't change, with the whole them supporting your dreams and ambitions and supplying you financial aid, then believe it or not, you'll become a burden to them and you'll do nothing but weigh them down.

It's not unkind or stingy to cut off a friend from benefiting from whats in your pocket. If anything it's for the better.

If you are an entrepreneur, you may come to the realization that there isn't anything your friends can do for your company and to hire them won't do you any good. When it comes to any job it's roughly the same case, even if you or your friend hooked up the other with employment, from there neither of you will be held accountable for how it turns out for the other.

Your friends as you say, support your ambitions, supply you with money, and otherwise, while never asking anything of you. You must be a real gem. What do you do for your friends ?

I think I'm not capable of being jealous of a friend, because I like to see my friends happy, and I'm proud to be among people who are successful.  As for the occasional jealousy that strikes me, regarding strangers.... I suppose it's more of a resentment.  When I'm not in a good mood, I start resenting the way rich people fritter their money.  At work, I see wealthy old women throw their money away like it's dirt and I just can't stop thinking "God damn it, do you have any idea what I could do with that, you useless sow?".  Silly, I know.  But we all have our days.

I didn't say that they give me money.  I said they're profitable.  They open doors for me.  As for what I do for them; what I can.  I'm generous with my money and my time.  Most of my friendships have been very mutually beneficial.

I fully agree that it's not unkind to cut off a friend, if they feel they can help themselves to what you've earned.  That's not my point.  I give to my friends because I like to see them smile.  As for why they give to me, I'm afraid I don't know.

Not offering. Just wanted to point out how what you wrote worked for me. Besides if you keep it up, why would I start paying up ?

Ed's right about you.  xP

You're the first to agree with him.

I'm the first to explicitly agree with him.

Did you know that he has a histrionic personality and he often projects his worst traits on his targets ? Tooth and nail he'll say I'm a narcissist it isn't the case though. 

My guess is my sense of humor is being taken seriously because of what you've been lead to believe by Edvard.

Groupthink.

^ Armchair shrinking somebody and accusing them of projection is the worst type of projection.

Unpack Ed's arguments, prove that they're fallacious, and I might be persuaded to hear your side.

Let's consider death for a moment.. how do people die? There is really no such thing as "dying of old age". You die from something. Each time Humanity advances in medicine, we extend our average life span. The Human life span has doubled in the last couple centuries.

So if we can conquer death... and we know that within our own solar system lies limitless resources which Humanity could use if only we had the will power to develop the technology, and resources necessary to go forward with these sort of things.

When I consider the massive things that can be done to improve Humanity, I think it's incredibly selfish, and unenlightened of them to decide to follow cultural religious values in stead that really mean nothing. Marriage for instance! Humans are mammals, it's not natural to "mate for life". Christianity and the religious cultures of our past has shaped our societal mindset as to what we believe we should be doing with our lives. 

 

 

 

 

 Imagine what the world would look like if they conquered death. We'd soon run out of room. When you say dedicate yourself to success in business, you sound like a classic Sociopath. But then you want to help humanity, you sound like an altruist. The problem with altruism is how can you be sure your vision of moving humanity forward is anyone else'. How do you know the "cultural religious values" of someone else are wrong or that yours is better? Humanity is the only species that has created a society that often supersedes nature. Marriage helps to provide a structure in which to raise children. Of course, if you eliminate death, that would be something else.
