I am a sociopath , pretty happy so long as things go my way . I get really unhappy when I can ' t get what I want , if I can ' t talk , manipulate , coerce or intimidate my way forward and end up stuck I get pretty upset and often violent . Most of the time I am happy , happier than most people because unlike everyone else I have a distinct separation , like seeing the world from behind a window . People are objects , pawns in your games . Some people , however , deserve respect and I have a very short list of people I will not back stab , betray , or cross to achieve my ends . These people have managed too earn my respect . My point is that even sociopaths can have friends . The other reason I am quite happy is the fact that I am somewhat . unhinged , I feel . hmm . free , a lot freer than most , I don ' t feel bound or constricted by society ' s moral compass like most do . Its quite . liberating . I am have both empathy and remorse , most sociopaths do , we just have the ability too turn them on and off . I cried for days when my grandfather passed away for example . However watching ISIS executions and burning people alive , well I didn ' t bat and eyelid . Even joked about it with one of my psychotic friends which leads me too my next point . Psychopaths are the ones who do not feel remorse or empathy period . Feel free to throw more questions at me if you wish , I am happy to discuss almost anything .
