Sociopath Community

Or they could be hystrionic. No faking. Just honest drama.

I call it moral autism. People who regard telling white lies to soothe someone as crimes punishable by dying in a fire pit while being boo'd and called names and become unable to look in the mirror for forgetting to lick their wives vaginas the way she enjoys, these people are my favorite targets, the biggest suckers and doormats I've known. This is mostly caused by critical and equally morally autistic parents that lead the child to beleive that in order to be loved he needs to be morally perfect. The solution is to tell them that if they don't give you their lifelong savings and let you fuck their bitch and daughter your feelings will be hurt and it'll make them a selfish, mean, and stingy, and you'll make a post on your tumblr blog about how much of a shitlord they are.

Why do so many people see people who fake emotions as bad? Of course the person faking the reaction could have bad intentions but that's not always the case. I know from personal experience that sometimes I fake a reaction simply because I know that's the reaction they want out of me. I have no ulterior motive, I just don't want them to think I don't give a fuck about what they're saying, when the opposite is true. It happens a lot with people I care about. I'm not saying I'm devoid of emotion either but I'm a rather emotionally guarded person.

 

Is it not better for someone to act emotionally out of respect or caring for the person expecting it; than to be forced by a hormonal or chemical reaction in the brain to react a specific way?

Any type of fakery and deceit that is seriously frowned upon is so, because it is perceived as threatening. Simple as that. Would you like to be deceived or misled yourself?

I fake emotions based on the environment, so I feel ya, man. But unlike you, I do not give a shit what they are talking about 87% of the time. I give them a reaction to make them finish their sentences already.

Mind you, I am mostly in the clouds when people talk to me, thus "Ohhh" and "Mhm!" are the default responses. They are effective to people whom I barely know, but my closer acquaintances sometimes catch on to it and make a grimace, then I have to make more expressive faces. I have a blunted affect, so if I do not make expressions to fit the situation, then people start wondering if I am angry or I hate them.

It is best to be stupid. That way people will have a harder time making any irrational conclusions based on your schitzophrenic communication.

It costs a great deal of respect in the process, but lets be real here. What are you going to do with respect? Get Home and Garden employees to show up 15 minutes early for a pep rally?

It's a slippery slope, as some people have issues they need guarded. Best to leave those secrets alone. However, in some business communications, let's say an employer/partner who owes money, when you have to approach someone as if they are a trapped animal, which is desperately trying to avoid an interrogation. Truth becomes irrelevant. That is where the bonds of loyalty start to break down.

Only guessing.

I have no ulterior motive, I just don't want them to think I don't give a fuck about what they're saying, when the opposite is true.

 

The motive on your part is to gain trust, or favor. There is always a motive(s).

Whoa, cool secret in the english language.

Favor. Favorite. Are granting, or performing favors more likely with "favorites". Hmmmnnn...

I agree, it still confuses me to this day, a high school class, we watched TV for a session, and one person was laughing out loud by comparison to others. At the time I thought it was fake laughter. Well, most laughter is fake when you aren't laughing along right? So, why would they laugh?

Could be any number of reasons. They could have nervous beliefs. Maybe if they don't laugh, they feel as if they might be singled out as being not normal, or not polite? Favors. Right?

In other instances, it could be that some people just have a different sense of humor.

I don't know for sure.

I am sure, somewhere people who are in charge of television sitcom laugh tracks know the truth.

On the flip side, it is illegal to incite a riot. People will follow the leader in many instances. So, why are people so influenced by others? 

It's a maze of bullshit.

If you ask me. Fundamentally, based on societal structure, we are largely bred and born to be NPD. That is the primary characteristic of most people in society. Everything about our rearings is about belonging to teams, in fact most school educations stress that side of learning, sports, celebrations normally celebrate an individual(s). Families are basically a give and take situation, which is largely an NPD situation. Finding yourself in the support of others, and so forth. Whatever, I don't know for sure. Most people are NPD, and even the ASPDs, Hystericals, and Emotionally Unstable/Fluent share NPD characteristics. Maybe that's because Freud over simplified the concept of an ego, but yeah, most people have NPD traits.

To be fair, to gain favor could easily be mistaken as a fear response to avoid persecution or to avoid being singled out.

With many people, emotions are taboo and not to be expressed in any manner that appears wild or genuine. Muted emotions in the office are the ONLY acceptable emotions according to most people. Emotions poured out in public, are seen as dangerous in many instances. Emotions are not exactly celebrated in the way we may believe they are, no matter what people say.

I saw this wicked documentary and some lady from the 1930s or some other time gone by equivalent, who claimed from what may have been an aristocratic perspective, although they claimed it was the climate of the times in general, was that, emotions were selling yourself out.

So, many people could see genuine outpouring of emotions as vulnerability, and the open window for the robber, for lacks of better terms. Poker has built an empire on the concept, right?

In some regards it's true, as in the past, in some forum venues, I would deliberately make a rock solid claim, and then purposely add self doubt. It's like professional trolling, and yes, people tend to pounce where they perceive weakness.

Everyone fakes emotions. That being said. The only people who would frown on it would be those who relate to it the most. That's why liars are hated most by other liars and so on...

Shit that's alot to respond to. I'm using my phone so I can't do them all at once.

First off, I care what other people think of me simply because you never know what they're going to do with their life or what they might become. So to gain their favour(lol) early on is to establish a potentially profitable connection. The way I see it, the most profitable people are those that have the most connections. Regardless of what field you're in. That being said, I do have relationships established out of an emotional need. Those are few and far between and at best I might have three compared to the countless "for profit"

So I guess I do have an ulterior motive. Though I believe in a fair exchange. In order to get something you must give something.

Because obviously he or she is the type who cares what others think of him. Your question should have been. "Why do you care what others think of you"

Your welcome. Next time hit me up before asking a irrelevant question and I will help you word it. That is what friends are for ;)

"I have no ulterior motive, I just don't want them to think I don't give afuck about what they're saying, when the opposite is true."

I'd rather they just tell me they aren't listening instead of making me waste my time.

Why fake it when you can make it as you are?
