  • I'm guessing you also enjoy little in life. Well unless it is in some way dangerous or outside social norm. Sociopaths don't experience the same empathy that others do. We understand that others have response to stimuli in their environment but also recognize that response, for us, is a choice. Others see that as apathetic. In fact, most of us wish we could feel or be "normal". But, we tend to just observe the drama that plays out around us. The more enterprising of us may seize upon the opportunity to intervene in the drama to benefit ourselves.

    You are waiting for them to die, thinking, such a profound moment must surely make you feel something. It won't. You will only feel pitty and sadness for yourself. You will never know true love, friendship or empathy. You will only mimic those around you until you decide to pretend you are one of them, or decide to play god.

    • Nah. I enjoy tons in life, I find joy in the most simplistic things. I am a risk taker, and adrenaline junkie though. Seems like you're implying us both as sociopaths. While I have wondered if I was one, I think I may have only mild tendencies. Have you been professionally been told you were a sociopath though?

      You are right. My parents dying won't make me feel something, it will make me feel nothing, like a sense of freedom and relief. And THAT will feel good. I will feel good on their behalf too, as they have lived a life filled with turmoil, delusion and conflict, and they will finally be gifted the sweet release of death. I have always been detached from my family.
