Sociopath Community

Christ this forum is a good deal more juvenile and misguided than I thought. Feel free to appreciate the "fun" replies you've gotten but don't take them seriously. Most people here don't even understand what a sociopath really is despite their attempt to ape one.

Let me answer your question before I prattle on: Simply ask the person in question if they are a sociopath or not. If they deny it, respect their desire not to face the issue or the possibility that you're mistaken, and if they tell you that they are than it's fine. You lack etiquette the moment you presume you "know" they're some label or another. I am a sociopath Sacha. I read people very well. Eerily well. Boringly well. Still when I a believe i know the root of my friends behavior I don't shove it in their face like "I know you behave x and y way because of z" I ask "are you doing x and y because of z?" That's polite. 

So shortly: Don't say you know. Just ask if they are one and respect their answer whether it's right or wrong (as right and wrong are fallacies of relativity)

The most recent take on sociopathy is not that sociopaths have no empathy, it's that we have the ability to turn off our empathy at will, almost as easily as we breath. 

Not every narcissistic asshole is a sociopath. Not every person who plays mind games is a sociopath. Not every brilliant intellectual who's really GOOD at mind games and manipulation is a sociopath. If their negative behavior stems from insecurity or trauma as it does 99+% of the time then they aren't sociopaths, they are just pathetic overcompensating fools trying to wrest happiness from the misery and domination of others.  

Take me: A sociopath who views hurting people as a cowardly, boring easy path to take. I enjoy making my friends laugh, improving lives around me, preserving and sustaining joy. It's much more challenging and stimulating. However on the rare (very) occasion that someone does... cross me, i devise punishment that's absolute and haunting. I don't particularly enjoy the act, I enjoy making my world conform to my own personal view of "right". I don't assume my "right" is right for everyone but I enforce it in my personal life, as it is my life.

I've known this person for a while now and I just always had a feeling about him, the clues came little by little over time, to begin with I could never remember his face so I started wondering why? Then I noticed I couldn't feel feelings coming from him, then one day he dropped his mask, I saw his reflection on a mirror but to this day he doesn't know I did... etc etc

Hard to describe in writing, let's say he morphed, I can only remember his eyes.

You sound like you watched too many vampire movies.

He's aware that he basically can't obtain other information from me than the ones he already knows. There are a few exceptions, obviously, but what I'm saying is that 90 percent of the times I can immediately recognize when he is trying to fuck with me and I join his game making him have hard times while doing it. He's always "the boss" of the games, but he lets me have some kind of control over myself and him. Or at least this is what he wants me to believe :) I am usually curious to see where he wants to bring me anytime it happenss.

 Neither you nor Sacha cleared it up, what do these mind games look like? Care to give some concrete examples?

Since this is the third post in around 15 minutes that you've claimed you're a sociopath, why don't you create a little into thread and tell us about yourself and how you arrived at your proclaimed diagnosis. Should be lots of fun since I can sense your itching for someone to poke you about it.

Also, if you ask a sociopath if they're a sociopath 99 times out of 100 they'll tell you no for obvious reasons. The main one being that there is almost no benefit to them in saying yes. The public's misperception of what a sociopath actually is doesn't help either.

And?

I couldn't read the thread - too many words. But when it comes to etiquette and SPs I don't think it matters. Being direct is pretty good. And don't hold anything back tell them everything about you cause they can tell when you are lying and they will respect you more. :D

You can also stop with the fake flattery, it's unnecessary.

You're right! Well you can interpret this better than me... Right now I prefer not to provide more details given the public access to this forum, but I may reveal it later. Only time will tell what happens, do you have friends you confide in who know you?

ok, can you see it in this reply? then how do I make it my avatar... you're so savy...

Love it! if it's ok to say, thank you! :)
