What do you do if you are a sociopath?

Answer 1

Answer from a sociopath"It's terrible. You have absolutely no emotions, and you seek to solely destroy everyone and everything just because you can.

You can't get an answer from a real sociopath because they don't believe there's anything wrong with them.

So technically this questions is invalid.

Sorry to say. "

I'm sorry, but that is utter nonsense. I will try to explain what it is like, from my experience.

First off, understand that empathy is like a sense. You use it to discern emotion, to make emotional connections to others. You feel happy for someone when something good happens to them, and you feel bad for someone when something bad happens to them. At least, that is how I understand it, as I was diagnosed as a Sociopath at 19 years of age. When I talk to someone, it is like, underneath the words, there is another language going, one that I don't understand. That mysterious language is emotion. For some sociopaths, it makes them angry being left out, some start to view themselves as superior, but most of them just feel alone.

My whole life, I have felt alone. Think about how that would feel, then thank whatever you believe in for empathy.

Answer 2

Two things:

You're not a sociopath. Sociopaths are too narcissistic to care, and most certainly wouldn't be spending their time online trying to find out.

Secondly, by the .00001 percent you are a sociopath--- you're hosed. There's not much you can do. However, if anything, use it to your advantage, you manipulative monster! ;)

Answer 3

if everyone you know were suddenly to disappear would it bother you?

not me. it would suck and i would miss them in a way, but i would not feel bad so much as inconvenienced. im not a bad person, i don't enjoy hurting people. i just do what i do and let other people deal with it as they wish. there is no malice in my behaviour although it may seem so. frankly i don't quite understand you "normal" people. you act as though i am responsible for how you feel, when it is entirely your choice. i don't wake up in the morning and say to myself, "self, make your wife feel bad about herself today so that she will feel she cant survive without you and will continue taking care of you." although i realise that is what i am doing, it doesnt bother me. at times i will pretend i feel awful, because that makes her think that i cant survive without her so that she will continue to take care of me. again though none of this behavior is orchestrated or planned out, it just comes naturally. frankly i often don't even realise im doing it. i believe what i am saying in that moment, and continue to do so until it is more effective to believe something else. i am sort of the director in the play of my life. looking on from the backstage feeding my actor his lines. anyway im bored now. you wont ever really understand so don't bother trying. if you know me you are better off just running the other way. but you probably wont recognize me. im your wife, your husband, brother, pastor, mailman, neighbor, maybe even you.
