I am apparently a sociopath. Which means (according to the internet and searches I have done since having this revealed to me) I could have psychopathic tendencies. But I watch endless gory films and such and have never felt the urge to hurt someone badly. I know I could hurt someone badly and feel no guilt (I have hurt people 'not badly' and felt no guilt, I have done some very bad things and not felt guilt too, I am very manipulative also when I want to be and never feel bad for that) as I have thought about it a lot and how I would actually take it and have come to the conclusion that I could actually kill someone and not care at all. All I would care about is the possibility of getting caught and going to prison. But still, as I said I watch a ridiculous amount of gory films, I watch real beheadings and such on the net, and still never this 'trigger' has happened to me. Hmm. Though it does concern me a lot that I have thought enough into it to come to the conclusion that I could kill without regret.

This neuroscientist was shocked to discover he was... as he had no idea, he could only assume that due to to his life experiences he hadn't been 'triggered'.
Unless you do kill someone then I guess being a psychopath is nothing to be ashamed of?
I can't watch beheadings or anything, gory films terrify me and yet faced with a real life situation involving serious injury doesn't phase me at all.
I identify with the manipulative and charismatic part I suppose.
The most telling being how I need to 'rest' after being around people.... it's just so draining.
If I'm being perfectly honest I wouldn't trust myself to act rationally and revenge for major slights was sweet, as I've joked before I don't know how my ex is still alive... he must have a cast iron stomach. That was for hitting my son, I remember it as clear as day it was like a switch, all the love I had for him vanished in an instant and I just wanted him dead.
Too much mario cart 64 maybe? haha!
