Could Lack Of Emotional Vigor Be A Sign Of Borderline Sociopath?
Recently the people I hang around with have been saying that I could be borderline sociopathic or a well adjusted sociopath. I have looked up some disorders and sociopathic fits to an extent but the lack of insight and craving for attention is not me. I am not emotional at all, and I have faked laughter at jokes and sadness/empathy for other peoples problems just so they might stop talking about boring things like how "my girl friend isn't responding to my texts" and friends feeling angry or sad and expecting me to care for them deeply. I'm sure you get the picture. Also as far as relationships go, I basically use the girls for physical wants and ignore their feelings, I lack the need or want for their feelings so really have no drive to care for them. I would like some feedback on this, I might seek help psychologically but mainly just want to know if this is what I think it is.
I went through your description,.I suggest you not to worry much. Some of your charecteristics fits into sociopath category but not all. That is quite natural. You cannot find a person who fits into a personality category 100%. The characterists are broad based.
But I shall suggest you be what you are. Change yourself only when it is ultimate necessity. Otherwise confusion, conflicts an pandemonium results. Change your attitudes so as they are always positive. Everyone has some mental disorders which cannot be categorized. Live happy and enjoy life.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
