Hmm maybe. I would argue that that was more my sense of right and wrong though. Also ridiculous recklessness Maybe there was empathy there though

But if you were sociopathic surely right and wrong wouldn't bother you though? You must have felt some sympathy for the guy? (I don't know how it all works really, just curious because I find this topic very interesting)

Honestly, right and wrong doesn't bother me (unless its happening to me, then it bothers me a lot) but I do know what is right and what is wrong. That may sound confusing, but it makes sense to me

I don't like seeing people in pain either. Thats mental and surely completely psycopathic?!. It just doesn't bother me as such. So that would be part of it too.

I understand what you're saying however in that situation you put yourself at risk (both of being physically hurt and getting in trouble with the Police) for a guy you didn't even know. Most people, even very empathetic people wouldn't have done that, so that kind of suggests that your sense of right and wrong justice seems higher than alot of people

Maybe it does.

It did anger me a lot that so many others just stood by and watched. I felt they were utterly pitiful tbh. Pathetic that so many people would just stand and watch something like that.

That's really interesting, did you ever tell that story to the professional person you said you spoke to? I wonder what they would make of that

Sociopaths are often fearless and will jump in where others fear to tread. The word 'pitiful' jumped out at me. I believe sociopaths often see neorotypical people as pitiful.

Are you good at spotting/picking up on a persons weakness?
