I'm actually quite pleasant to people I meet. It makes life much less of a hassle. It also affords me leeway on the rare occasion I slip. Point of curiosity, why is someone claiming to be a sociopath "just a kid [looking for] a license to be a dick"?

edit: I have actually had people tell me that they think I have a mild case of asperger's. This, of course, has been via online interaction where it's a little safer to be completely uncaring (and have it be interpreted as purposely being an asshole).

sonolumi[/url]":1i5vbw1y]I initially misread your post as satire.

Surely if you are a sociopath you don't give two fucks for sympathy? Or am I getting that wrong too? You'll have to excuse my misunderstanding, I only ever get to talk to sociopaths in most online games and almost any forum I've ever read.

Oh, I'll freely admit that this is more for amusement than me wanting some mental illness revolution. Genuine sympathy is actually pretty annoying and pointless. You feeling like shit over whatever bad incident that happened to me isn't constructive nor does it solve anything.[/trollhide]
