Surprising. Even I've had to fend off a Pedobear attack, and I don't even go to cons often.
I'm NEVER seen as a threat. People never suspect me of anything. If they do, those suspicions are gone after speaking to me for a minute or two. I am generally seen as harmless, polite, and helpful.
When people try to guilt me, either because they think it will change my behavior, or because they want a one-up on me, it never works. If you're trying to make me feel guilty, even if I am guilty, you will not get me to feel bad or apologize.
I'm also just a good liar. Apparently, there are common characteristics among lies and attempts at deception. And I exhibit none of them when I lie. In-fact, I demonstrate those common deceptive characteristics more often when I'm telling the truth.
I am excellent at redirecting other peoples' anger and emotions away from myself. If someone's about to blame me/yell at me for something I did/did not do, then I can easily point that person's anger and emotions into another direction. I'm really good at drawing attention, especially negative attention, away from myself, and sometimes onto specific people. In order to do this, I convince myself of falsities that make myself innocent in my own eyes, which makes it easier to convince others of the same things.
by TheSocioI can get an accurate read of who a person is within about 5 minutes. It takes a little more than just observing their eyes, but I think you know that.

And yes, you don't need to be a sociopath to have this but it comes very naturally to sociopaths. Reading up on psychology and body language etc. only makes for more fun.
