Sociopath Community

Yeah, and you are also incredibly boring and a super drag to be around. It's your amygdala...

Have I said that I'm a sociopath? I don't remember this... Do sociopaths generally take things seriously?

No... generally they drink beer and piss their lives away watching hockey, which is the only thing they take seriously...

Fuck no! Most people find me very entertaining. I perhaps come off differently online than i do IRL.

Responsibility and caring are not necessarily "immediately" connected.

An emotional connectedness between those two might be the norm for most people. But then again, most people won't jump into a building on fire in order to save someone merely out of desire to save someone, or the responsibility they take upon themselves in order to save them.

Sometimes the disconnect between the two makes for a more 'black and white' resolution.

I often feel bored but I don't think I'm depressed. I don't think antidepressants will help me in any way, although I can't be sure about this. From what I've heard antidepressants make people care less about things, and that is not what I need,

You ever see Nicole Kidman in To Die For?

Great depiction of a sociopath...

Technically there is no official criteria to meet the requirements of being a sociopath. They simply do not exist anywhere except in the imaginations of everyone.

You probably have an amygdala issue, or are just lonely looking for special attention. Everyone feels fear under the right circumstance.

Do you ever stare into the mirror and notice an unusual pupilary response? Perhaps one grows bigger than the other, or they both become unresponsive to light?

I agree with you. I also think it's possible to care about someone or something and still be more or less completely irresponsible regarding the thing or person. I have, for instance, had pets I have cared about but not cared for as I should

So you feel guilty for not caring more for your pets?

If you forgot to feed them for a few days in a row, would that worry you, or make you feel afraid for their welfare?

If you answer yes, I'm going to guess again, that you are simply mildly clinically depressed. It is very very very common.

The world seems muted when you are depressed. Less vibrant. Not much to it. Very difficult to notice.

I most certainly have an amygdala issue... I saw that movie long ago but don't remember so much of it, but I think I read somewhere that the main character had narcissistic personality disorder or was it histrionic?

And yes I feel fear. I remember that I felt a fear of heights when I went out on the balcony in my friends apartment to throw down the keys to him. He lives on the top floor. But it isn't consistent... On a previous occasion I was sitting on the railing on my own balcony (fourth floor) without being afraid at all, though that time there was (potentially) real danger.
