There is this commonly held notion that sociopaths don't experience fear. This is somewhat connected to this so it's a relevant topic. I am not diagnosed with aspd but I score quite high on tests. What I really would like to ask is how you experience danger? For me it's like I'm unafraid and sometimes unaware of the danger until something almost happens. Sometimes I'm theoretically aware of danger, but that's usually not enough to stop me from doing something. Other times, I'm not at all aware that the danger exists. I become aware when something has almost happened (like getting killed) or someone tells me about it. This was most dangerous for me when driving cars, riding bikes or motorcycles.
How I react when I am aware of the danger? Well sometimes I just tell myself not to do it again if it was a close call. I tend to happen to do it again though. Other times I can become pretty obsessed with avoiding situations similar to the one that caused the danger. That is going from being quite "fearless" to maybe being overly cautious. When I'm in situations I can be pretty amazed by how "unafraid" I am. Also afterwards when I'm very calm, almost as if nothing has happened. Occasionally I react in what I believe is a more normal manner. I don't seem afraid during the confrontation (or whatever it is) but afterwards I notice I'm shaking and filled with adrenaline.
So could this in anyway be connected to sociopathy? I don't know how most people are. If they are always aware of danger and cautious, or if they mostly become so after something that's happened (or almost has).
