M.E.: You were the one who first outted me as a sociopath. Do you remember that?
Empath: I don't specifically remember "outting" you, but it is very likely given my history with sociopaths.
M.E.: So you have outted other sociopaths as well?
Empath: At least one, an old and dear friend. And maybe others. I don't know, people come to me a lot with crises of identity.
M.E.: How did you get to be so good at sniffing out sociopaths?
Empath: I don't purposely seek out sociopaths, unless it is completely subliminal. Remember, you randomly got placed with me in the office at that internship. What I have been able to do is recognize that sociopaths are more numerous than most people assume. And I know a bit of what to look for, having been so close to one for so long. Although I suspect there is a lot of "diversity" among the "sociopath community." hehehe
M.E.: Ha, nice scare quotes.
Empath: Also perhaps having been "out" to myself as queer since an early teenager, I am able to recognize and appreciate those who are outside the norm. I don't know.
M.E.: So you think you being gay has somehow given you sociodar?
Empath: I think it has given me an awareness of things outside the norm. My world view allows me to recognize the "good" or the "beautiful" everywhere.
M.E.: Even in the tiny black heart of a sociopath, apparently.
