They can also be dangerous to follow and misinterpret which I think the public popularity is largely. If she is a sociopath and is charming a lot of people I don't really understand why we aren't all falling for it. Are we the cynics or the empaths?

You nailed asbergers much more information eloquently than I did. You are right people with asbergers that I have had experience with have all been remorseful when realising they have done something wrong in the sense of hurting others with detachment or violence. Hopkins for me seems to lack empathy.

We are empaths and we listen to our intuition. BTW, have you ever read a book called 'The Gift of Fear"?. I think you would enjoy it.

Those who are indifferent to someone bullying or take sides with a bully tend to be apaths.

Thanks for the book tip, I'll download from amazon.

I agree with your assessment of Perez and his relationship with Hopkins. What I find harder to understand is the public demonization of him. I am not a fan but can't see that he has done anything to warrant the hate, he's annoying but he isn't a bully like James Jordan. He isn't kicking any puppies.(Hopkins is the puppy kicker in the house). The Perez hate seems a little OTT.

TBH any hate is ott, for me the moment Perez seemingly at random attacked Katie in the grave task was the moment I was fixed in my dislike for him, everything else just reinforced that feeling. It just seemed so vicious, spiteful and random.
