Sociopath Community

What the hell is going on here? Hostile much. 

I conned (asked) both of my parents to pay for half of something I wanted! I'm such a big bad psycho!

I supposedly stole 20 cents from a cash register today. 

My parents are separated and want no contact with each other. Recently I used this to my advantage. I wanted said object, but knew neither would pay entirely for it. I told both of them that I wanted said object. I also mentioned that the other would be paying half. Thus both coughing up half the money each so I could get what I wanted. (Playing them against each other?) 

Whats your most recent "con"?

talk parent B to the clouds about how awesome they are to parent A then ask parent A for something later on (let them fester about your adoration of parent B), worked with mine lol

Lol much 

Why did you get accused of stealing 20 cents from a cash register?! Petty much.

I find it easier to want less than go out of my way to get things I don't really need. The reputation of often not asking for things makes it easier to get more later. 

Beyond that... Bartering in favors allows me to have people believe they owe me with the right words, and how to repay in such cases isn't about a price tag. After enough time a situation of sharing stuff can be forged where the right words keep the impression of me maintaining the upper hand, as long as they owed me first early on. 

Favors are dangerous in the right hands. Knowing what to do when an opporitunity arrises is the key to solidifying influence. Never ask for something too big and they will continue to feel pressured.

Influence I guess is what I really want.
