What could you do? More importantly, what could you not do? The range of possibilities is endless. You would just go for what you want, regardless of anybody else. You would take what you want, treat people the way you want, manipulate them or abuse them simply for the sake of dominating them.
'Socializing' emotions are those that allow society to function well, with benefits for all concerned. For example, empathy, love, guilt, shame, remorse. Having these emotions means that we treat others well, we treat them fairly and we look out for and help others. If you lacked these socializing emotions, of course your behavior would be antisocial!
It seems with Helen - saying that to Brian - is a bit of pot kettle? Isn't it.
Great documentarys about pyschopaths online. They do not resemble Brian at all.
Sorry if I did not spell Psycho right very very tired today.

That's the best description of Helen that I have ever seen. Absolutely spot - on.
