Has anyone ever looked at this to see how many of these qualities they posess?

http://www.mcafee.cc/Bin/sb.html

Out of curiosity and a need to know I started looking up the qualities of a sociopath. I am simply amazed by how many of those qualities I posess. With the exception of infidelity or not being faithful and any type of physical abuse or abuse to animals, I posess a vast of amount of those qualities.

It was actually kind of shocking to me as I read the list and did an honest self assesment. Not sure what else to say...

Didn't you admit in another thread that you speed up and block people when they try to pass you, which of course might cause a head on collision between the passer and an innocent party that happened to be going in the other direction? Maybe that was some one else, I can't keep track of this stuff anymore. Honestly, at the time I read that I remember thinking that seemed like the behavior of a psychopath but I kind of doubt that question was on the list.

They don't. In your depressed, self-conscious emotional cocoon you misinterpret signals from others as being negative. It's like the child that beats himself when his mother compliments him because he is certain that he is incapable of no good and that she was just saying that to be nice. The only person that thinks you're a sociopath is you.

Ohhhh.


No, you're just wrong.

But I love you anyway, man.

I think you have 1 too many negatives there. I see this all the time though. Maybe I'm the one with the fundamental misunderstanding..

Yes that was me. I do it when I feel they are going too fast. If i'm driving slow and they pass me, it doesn't bother me. If i'm driving 5 or 10 over the speed limit then yes, I'll speed up because they are going to fast and I'll try not to allow them to pass.

I wish I was a sociopath so I could go Ted Bundy on your ass.

OMG!
My mother, a brother, a sister, and my Ex-wife ALL possess nearly every one of these traits.

No wonder I'm so withdrawn!
