Given the fact that you posted this in a Sociopath forum. Tells me you know what a Sociopath is and its traits.
You obviously think you are a Sociopath. Why do you feel the need to get our opinion.
If you are truly curious as to whether or not you're a Sociopath. Go see a shrink. Tell the shrink what you posted on the Sociopath forum and see what they say. lol ;)
by jay1989Surely feeling no remorse is not a common trait of a normally functioning person with a conscience. Listen, I'm new as you can tell. Someone sent me in this direction, I came for insight. If I'm ruining your close knit circle of "real" sociopaths then I am truly sorry.. note the sarcasm.
It's because you haven't done anything wrong that you regret, you either blamed someone else or rationalized it away. As you say below:
by jay1989Only because society says so. I don't find what I do wrong.
You don't find it wrong, yet you call it such because society says so, which means that you are governed at some level by the norms of society. That means that at some level, you have the desire to conform to its laws.
by jay1989Thank you, I appreciate the help.
1) Mainly I try to make the conversation about them (I Read a book called "How to win friends and influence people"). But no, I dont feel as if that is something I do.
2) Yes. I find that around certain people such as family and co-workers (boss) , I act more polite and proper.
3) It's funny that you would say that as its my job to put out fires lol, but since I've been young I've had a fascination with fire, although I've never started a big fire, I have still messed around. More so as a kid.
4) I've always been lacking it. A big wakeup call was at my grandparents funerals. I just couldnt cry. Everyone was sobbing, and I had to really make an effort to get very emotional, so I wouldnt be looked at weird. I think I could possibly feel empathy more so of the idea of what is happening to someone but not for the person itself. For instance, my ex girlfriend wanted help moving. I helped her on the saturday. She wanted help on the sunday also. I said I was busy. So, sunday happens, and she calls me balling her eyes out saying how hard it was, how she was way over her head. I felt bad for her, but i didnt feel bad about what i did if that makes any sense. I was extremely happy that I didnt have to bust my ass all day. Typing that out really makes me realize how bad of a thing that is to do. But i still sit here not caring in the least.
5) It is automatic for animals..almost instantaneous. Those rescue videos kill me. I watch and the tears just start coming.
6) Yes, I do get angry. It is not an extreme level, but a lot of things that aren't a big deal to some people get me very irritable.
7) Yes, as in the end of question 6. Little things that looking back, hold no weight, can get me angry.
8) Yes. It's funny you ask that, Especially when meeting new women. If for instance they tell me something such as, they've been cheated on, or been to a certain country etc etc, I'll lie to them and tell them what I think they want to hear for example "Thats terrible, my ex girlfriend cheated on me as well, I know what you're going through" Although that would be a lie. . As for Co-workers and bosses I do the same. I see how the structure is within and I adapt to it.
9) Yes. For instance, Last week I might a girl who was great. Turns out she lived a couple hours away. When I found that out, I had very little interest anymore and moved on. I really did not care to make the 2 hour drive in the future. I realize that I keep using examples of women alot but its a big part of my life.
10) I definitely have more conventional interests. Although there may be a few unconventional ones.
11) Yes. To the point where that may be one of the most important things in my life. I love sex. And I love the chase to get it. Around once a day although I could definitely do more.
12) No. Definitely not.
Thanks again for taking the time.
Sounds like you have a case of Nice Guy Syndrome.
