Not because we think of ourselves as tough. I certainly don't think of myself as tough in the way you mean it. I am here to learn and understand better, answer questions from my perspective, share ideas, hopefully help. You seem to forget that not all sociopaths are jailed and that some of them function relatively well in society, but can still be very difficult to deal with if they target you. Knowing about sociopathy helps you be more detached from the attacks and deal with them in a different way. Dealing with attacks from a sociopath in an emotional way is a recipe for disaster. This is the way he will "win" his game, it is after all nothing but a game to him: by triggering your emotions, good or bad... or I should say good AND bad, back and forth, until you loose your control. <br /><br />Do I think I could reason with a jailed psychopath? Not a chance. But perhaps some of the high functioning sociopaths here could. And maybe that is a way we could explore as a society to try and alleviate the damage that lower functioning sociopaths inflict on society. Enlist the high functioning sociopaths help. They would understand better their thought process. Perhaps it is too late to reintegrate psychopaths into society by the time they have been to jail, but there may be ways, one individual at a time, to prevent some of them going to jail in the first place.OldAndWisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-79428763695207390142014-10-26T21:28:20.986-07:002014-10-26T21:28:20.986-07:00Ps this is Mach but I don't feel like logging ...Ps this is Mach but I don't feel like logging into this deviceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-75123873718978512272014-10-26T21:26:50.926-07:002014-10-26T21:26:50.926-07:00It's possible I might have been baiting the au...It's possible I might have been baiting the author to confirm or deny my assertations so we would have more information to go on.

It's like community college. The people who seem most eager to tell everyone they go to Harvard tend to take this route. Given the background of this individual, it's hard to believe that the social support necessary to get into Harvard would be in place. A caveat: the extension school is often a good way for disadvantaged students to gain credibility to matriculate for real, but still must be recognized as something different than going to Harvard. (not a criticism of this individual because I actually find students who take this route to regular admissions to be remarkable people) <br /><br />One other curious note- "wealth management" is an odd designation for someone who has not received their academic credentials. Financial services tends to be the catch all phrase for the young guns as "wealth management" tends to be associated more with private equity clients serviced by very senior (age and position) financial services executives who have a proven track record of success. <br /><br />That said, the writer may be deliberately awkward in his terminology/self description to throw off anyone who knows him within the financial services community. (Boston financial services is a very insular community) If that is the case, I salute him ;) <br /><br />onewomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320973006497715467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-76634929776048503422014-10-26T18:40:52.653-07:002014-10-26T18:40:52.653-07:00Like I said- I see more narcissism than evidence o...Like I said- I see more narcissism than evidence of sociopathy. only red flag is boredom. onewomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320973006497715467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-60748046348859255802014-10-26T17:26:48.866-07:002014-10-26T17:26:48.866-07:00I don't think I am supposed to be here.

The "honesty" of socios on this site reflects a certain "evil" charm, a receptiveness to the darkness that lives in the hearts of all humans, I believe, which is not to say I foster that; But I do believe that socios suffer in their own way, just like everyone else; they just hide it better from others and probably often from themselves. Because to admit to feeling pain makes a person feel weak, which I imagine is intolerable to most socios.<br /><br /> The outside world is full of lies and manipulation dressed up in Newspeak. Here at least, malicious thoughts and selfish motivations are stated in the open.<br /><br />"my list of weird things I like; Clockwork Orange, Tim Burton movies" <br /><br />Bjork? Under the Skin?
