I don't think a true sociopath would even recognize the fact that they are potentially a sociopath.
Your willingness and ability to look at your inner self seems to suggest that you are not sociopathic.
Being outside the box is a good thing dude!

Ok, but do you have a conscience? Empathy, sympathy...ok. But would you jump into a frigid river, risking your own skin, to save a drowning stranger?

I had to talk to a shrink for a debriefing after finding a dead co-worker (not a friend, just an acquaintance at best) who had gone on a hike and never returned.

The psychologist thought it completely normal (and healthy) that I didn't really feel that much upon finding the body. I'd seen death many times as an EMT / Fire Fighter, and I told her "He was just another body."
I thought something might be wrong with me because I didn't FEEL that much. According to her, I was dealing with it in a very healthy and stable way: it was just the circle of life.

NOW. Would I follow a fellow human being into fire to save a family, even knowing that I may not come out? Hell yeah. Without hesitation.

I have no doubt that you would also Finny.
You are NOT a sociopath.

Thank you Carnal, we were getting too serious.

I just had a banana muffin. It was delicious, but I feel gay.

You patiently wait in the pirched position until they wake up. It will take them a few seconds before they realize what's going on and when they finally do... you flinch your butt cheeks while they are still spread and your ass hole winks at them giving it the proper name The Brown Eyed Wink.

I think I love you.

Thanks Bubbles and Carnal. Both totally appropriate responses!

Hence, no empathy.

Nothing wrong with being an alien, man.


Most humans bore the hell out of me as it is....

Well yeah, buy you post at UFC, so this is no suprise.

You have to admit, it can be entertaining there, when it's not offensive, revolting, stupid, repulsive or inane.

Hence the reason I haven't posted since 2004.
