>>15363518you're actually retarded if you believe that's not what a sociopath is
it's probably not the 'romanticised' version of what a sociopath is but absolutely their motive is 'status-driven' - you're thinking of psychopaths - undoubtedly - but i can't really expect you to understand this with a room temperature iq
'a desire to hurt others physically or emotionally'
you mean like a psychopath?
too many retards that 'want' to be sociopaths also 'want' sociopath to be 'darker' than it is
they can do fucked up things - like manipulating others but they do it 'because they can' not because they want to hurt others and certainly not with a desire to do so...
the desire would be 'power' based - making them do something - even if it causes hurt to others - is done to flex their power over others and not to hurt like a
psychopath
fucking retard - american romanticized version of sociopaths is that 'they're as dangerous as psychos but more acceptable' actually retarded take - psychopaths are infinitely more dangerous and sociopaths are usually 'uglier' in personality than everyone else - that's why they mask their personalities
sociopathy is ugly - 'akin' to ADD - but socially
i view sociopaths as cringy but - because they will work hard for social status they can be 'doctors' (for the title and the money) for example
