Since being a diagnosed "blight of society" I've been looking up information on my 'illness'
I am a sociopath, or so I've been told. Reading up on it, I can definitely agree with most of it.
But do you think that a sociopath can be a good person? I made this list of traits from a site I found online. These are the ones I agree with:
-Glibness and Superficial Charm
-Manipulative and Conning
-Grandiose Sense of Self
-Pathological Lying
-Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt (depending on the situation)
-Incapacity for Love
-Need for Stimulation
-Irresponsibility/Unreliability
-Callousness/Lack of Empathy (Unless I'm trying to be empathetic)
-Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle (But I've since worked harder to fix this)
And a list of ones I don't:
-Shallow Emotions (The only 'feeling' I get is anger, and that is definitely not shallow)
-Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency (I was a quiet kid; didn't give myself enough chances for trouble)
-Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity (ew)
-Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility (Smoking weed is as illegal as I get)
So, can you relate to a sociopath? What type do you think would most likely exhibit this behaviour?
