Do you appreciate the positive connotations of being a Sociopath?

Cats have almost two handfuls of lives. Perhaps pretending to be a cat can be just as beneficial to your survival?

I have a feeling the naivety displayed upon these shores of sanity is a testing ground for a more cynical endeavour with an insane purpose.

Perhaps Luna isn't as naive as she enjoys presenting herself to be.

One's life is a jewel stone that is always being polished, until it disappears into dust, or is cracked in the process.

Some jewel stones can crack and not break for a bit longer than others.

In the end we all become dust.

Merry day to you.

Living is a risky business Luna. You might die, you know.

I don't think feeling remorse or not really affects us so much. You know, if a sociopath doesn't feel bad becasue he murdered someone, that's great in terms of mental health and ability to function under pressure, but forensics and future technology are still going to create the possiblity that he could get caught, so... why would this rational human being take the risk?

 

It's the irrational, stupid, sociopaths you have to worry about, I think,  with bad parents!

 

And yeah, it's scary that children think it's cool. I can see children doing really horrible things just to prove to themselves they are "special". Hopefully they are rational enough to refrain from this.

Fictional characters and a few notorious criminals have given the ASPD diagnoses rather positive connotations, and it seems that teenagers everywhere are admiring and erotisizing the disorder.

I can understand that people may be facinated by an inability to feel remorse and the potential power it brings, but I think that the condition is being wrongly glorified.

Personally, I would find it far more terrifying if an individual was able to enjoy the feeling of remorse than to not feel anything at all.

What do you guys think?

"Personally, I would find it far more terrifying if an individual was

Feeling anything, even if only an intellectualized remorse is a change from not feeling anything at all (emotionally that is).

Change is always in some way at least a minimally positive thing, as long as you survive and have an interest object to look forward to.

What that specifically encompasses can include deriving pleasure from the pain of experience and being able to grow from it in a "positive" way.

Developmental delays imply a latent ability to feel from the introspective in some way, when appropriate growth is achieved.

After all, no lesson is learned properly, until it is learned properly for the very first time.

Please consider this.

We can't get rid of our passions, as they will always rule our reason.

But at leat we can steer them towards goals that allow us to survive and learn from the journey.

Yes, I think an informative documentary is needed which focuses on everyday people with ASPD. Youthful ignorance isn't always bliss.

Sociopaths are seen to have special powers.
