It’s easy to love a well-behaved dog. It’s harder to love Chance, with his bristly personality and tendency toward violence. Yet in the end, I measure the success of my relationship with Chance by its challenges, because if I can’t love him at his most imperfect what use is love?
I had a work colleague who gushed about his new dog when we first met. He worked in a remote office, so we didn't see each other that frequently, but when we did, I would always be sure to ask him about his dog (I have found that dog owners love to talk about their dogs). One day I asked him about his dog and he told me that he was thinking of giving the dog back to the pound. I was pretty shocked. The dog was hard to potty train and tore up the furniture, so had to be kept at doggy daycare almost every day. The dog was expensive and time-consuming, more than the owner had anticipated. Owning a dog was not as convenient and rewarding as planned, so he was going to return it like you might return a television set that had failed to live up to expectations.
Of course I don't care what people do with their pets, but I did think this was an odd turnaround. Man expects unconditional loyalty and devotion from his best friend but he does not return it? Not quite Old Yeller material. Then again, what did the dog do to deserve a good life? Should we feel obligated to be nice to things that are not nice to us -- to give to people or things that cannot or do not give back to us in commensurate ways?
Along those lines, I got a little bit of pushback from this recent tweet and subsequent exchange:
"Being friends with a sociopath is fun as long as you are OK that to them your friendship is just a series of mutually beneficial exchanges"

@sociopathworld That's exactly what friendship is?
— Samantha Barruel (@Name_Namae) September 10, 2013
@Name_Namae @sociopathworld bahahahaha umm no. Giving to get is fake. People these days who confuse transactions with depth makes me smh.Ok, but does that mean people should have no problems being friends with someone who is a parasite, leech, or a sociopath? If there's such thing as unconditional love for all creatures, does that include sociopaths? And relatedly (but even more puzzlingly), some people act as if empathy is this great thing, but empathy doesn't seem that powerful or that special if it doesn't allow you to empathize with people who can't empathize back. Can you empathize with sociopaths?

ME you do a nice job as a professor don't you.
ReplyDeletewhat if the dog was a biter, and you gave it to your dog whisperer cousin to train for you, and the dog bit your cousin's baby's face off?
Can't you shoot that animal and love it at the same time?
^What kind of person does that?
"what if the dog was a biter, and you gave it to your dog whisperer cousin to train for you"
DeleteSo your cousin purports to know about dogs, and has been told that this one bites...
"and the dog bit your cousin's baby's face off?"
and your dog expert cousin let a known biter get to their baby?
Your cousin is a poor dog trainer and a poor parent and needs shooting along with the dog.
it isn't a true story.

Maybe the people that pushed back want things to be unconditional because they're afraid to lose it.

For many people I think love is really "I love how you make me feel about me when I am around you." That includes almost all children. Obviously children get angry at their parents too but their attachment needs drive them to be cute and compliant to get love back. Iris Murdoch said something very cool, "Love is the awareness that other people exist." The idea that someone else's perspective is just as important (even if wildly different) is a building block in the capacity to develop self control. Once you realize "hey- I may've been kidding when I punched her in the face, but she didn't find it funny to have a broken nose out of nowhere." then you are motivated to not act impulsively.
ReplyDeletePosts like the above make me think that the psychological powers that be need to redefine ASPD in the DSM VI to distinguish between truly malevolent behavior and simple immaturity.
"Posts like the above make me think that the psychological powers that be need to redefine ASPD in the DSM VI to distinguish between truly malevolent behavior and simple immaturity. "
DeleteAbsolutely agreed. I find it weird that boxing in definitions that easily should not come with a broader discussion.
@M.E. -- Interesting post.
Delete@Machavellianempath -- Interesting perspective.
It does seem that love is a feeling that is put upon another. Inherently, doesn't that mean the love is a reaction? If it is a reaction, then doesn't it require reasons to exist? Can we then change "reasons" to "conditions" and then say all love is conditional? And even if love is conditional, with the unconditional kind only a myth, does that turn love of the true selfless kind into a fairytale?
Sorry, one more thing: does love lose its potency when it is examined? Does it lose magic when we can explain it?

DeleteYour question depends on the personalities of the people involved.
I have had conversations in order to bond more deeply. The conversations need to be tailored to the individual..
can you give an example?

ReplyDelete"@Name_Namae @sociopathworld bahahahaha umm no. Giving to get is fake. People these days who confuse transactions with depth makes me smh."
I have never in my life met a person who spends time with another person if it does not benefit him/her in some way. Either because you enjoy the company, like the humor, respect the person(status), or want something from that person(helping each other out).
Makes me think of monkeys who bond by grooming eachother. I don't think it works one way only, the favor has to be returned for the bond to be confirmed.
Human bonds are in essence egosentric. We are in it because of our own needs, feelings and wishes. Or else none of us would care. The same goes for love. No one loves someone for the benefit of anyone else but themselfes. It gets to be a symbiosis, but starts based on egosentric needs.
I agree, ill reflected and pretty superficial.
Deletesome reasons why monkeys groom one another from wiki. (They don't go into it at length, but the grooming increases when the pack is worried about an attack. **They spend a lot of time grooming their leaders when they're stressed out about their survival.)
DeletePrimates provide perhaps the best example of this activity. Primatologists have called grooming the social cement of the primate world. The trust and bonding it builds is critical to group cooperation. Among primates, social grooming plays an important role in establishing and maintaining alliances and dominance hierarchies, for building coalitions, and for reconciliation after conflicts; it is also a resource that is exchanged for other resources, such as food and sex.[1][2][3][4] Primates groom socially in moments of boredom as well, and the act has been shown to reduce tension and stress.[5] It is often associated with observed periods of relaxed behaviour, and primates have been known to fall asleep while receiving grooming.[6]

I once got slightly mad at a woman who kept leashing her dog outside a shop around the corner. The dog kept barking like mad till she came out again. It was always, oh, no, not again.
ReplyDeleteThen I told the story to a woman who is enormously good with animals, mainly cats, dogs and horses. She laughed out loud and told me that this lady probably rewards the dog every time she comes out of the shop, and that the dog probably thought that he had to bark ferociously to get whatever he got after she returned.
So, the next time I encountered her and the dog, I watched what happened after she left a shop. My friend was correct, he got a sausage.
The most aggressive dog I ever met, was the dog of a student of medicine. It was at the time he was approaching his exams. He kept the huge black dog in his tiny little flat, rarely ever giving him what dogs like that need regular and sufficient time to move, run freely. I wasn't the least bit surprised, although that was the only dog I ever met that I preferred to keep my distance from. But I would never like to "own" one myself, but I generally like dogs.
The above "dog lover" mirrors something into her dog that she may want for herself, being loved the way she is. There mostly is a reason dogs are aggressive, if they aren't trained to be exactly that.

Didn´t Hitler have a pet bird that he mourned with genuine tears when it expired? Psycho behaviour certainly can include attitudes where animals are genuinly appreciated & humans are hated. (Strange, but some dogs with violent reputation hate other dogs but really like children). Some netherworld zodiac-signs such as Virgo (often cold, sly & calculating people) often like cats because they "mirror" their own behaviour. I guess they also like alligators & hyenas for the same reason? My theory is that some psychos "identify" with wildlife, and strongy disapproves of any attempt to harm them (like other types of psychos seem to relish). Hunting is no excuse, its considered "heinous"..
ReplyDeleteThe love of animals might be more highly prized than that of another human because animals aren't regarded as capable of deception. Those having difficulty loving might have trust issues that support this. It's hard to battle such seemingly logic-based assumptions. People are complex and infinitely more capable of deception. Some assume it as typical human behavior, while others consider it the anomaly. There is no stable ground from which to say that is the absolute perspective to rate this. For some, that very uncertainty is not worth the risk to discover.
DeleteCats are manipulators, liars & actors. Unwilling to bend to rules & creatures that probably feel genuine contempt for "cuddling humans" & have perfected a "parasitic lifestyle"! Why are they so loved? Ah yes, they are cute. If the psycho is cute..well, then he may also be loved.
Delete@7:11- I love it! And completely agree. I feel like dogs unconditional love is less of a compliment than a cat's selective love. Perhaps bc of my issues (God know I have them!) I like to be part of a relationship where my good or bad behavior very much impacts whether the relationships deepens or ends.
DeleteMy pathology is likely revealed in my intense happiness when my cat Spot chooses to jump on my lap and then makes it impossible for me to complete what I am doing. But if the dog did that? I'm completely irritated.
Perhaps one of the things that makes sociopathic love so attractive is that sociopaths are constantly running that "account balance" as ME so deftly puts it. Those of us with overactive superegos in terms of romance only want to be with someone if we feel we are doing right by them - a cat will never let you abuse it , never mind that you didn't intend the abuse. It will get up and walk away. To have a sociopath stick around because you have cracked the code of how to make them happy with your general awesomeness is a sort of narcissistic supply in some ways.
Those of us with overactive superegos in terms of romance only want to be with someone if we feel we are doing right by them
DeleteI wish I understood: "overactive superegos in terms of romance"
And: "if we feel we are doing right by them"?
Concerning the second it may be a language problem. In other words "doing the right by someone" means what?
I love the independence of cats too. My mother did not like cats and did her best to hide it, since she realized that her own mother had not liked them either. It registered anyway. Never mind how often I had seen her stroking cats. She told me about it, when I one day came home from school and was puzzled that the boy whose drawings I loved best always had a cat somewhere in one of them, and I did not like cats. ;)
That's wong: "had a cat somewhere in one of them"
DeleteNot in one of them. In every single one of them. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have paid much attention to it. I wonder what happened to him, he was really good. But that was in grammar school.
@LeaNder- we all have different needs/motivations that flip our switch. Because I am highly driven I put a lot of pressure on myself within a relationship and drive both my partner and myself crazy at times- hence my "overactive romantic superego". To "do right by someone" is probably equivalent to the idea that you don't take more than you give.

DeleteI agree with much of what you said. Empathy has its caveat. In order to appreciate it, I think one should have it. I see emotion as untrustworthy, by and large. It can reinforce and define, but relying upon it seems foolish. It seems like he meteorology of human mood. However, animals may be said to be purely emotional or instinctual. Animals seem logically emotional. Something like that. I suppose the fact that logic and emotion dwell simultaneously in the human brain makes relationships nebulous at best for anyone that may lean toward one end or the other of that spectrum more than "normal."

Relationships between people are different from those with animals. First, few people realize that dogs are not toddlers in dog suits. They are dogs. They act like dogs, they think like dogs not like people. If people actually payed attention to how a dog acts and interacts with other dogs then we could learn to communicate with them on a dog scale.
ReplyDeleteExample: I have a 1 year old black lab mix. He is of a high energy breed, however I have worked with dogs I understand the basics of how he thinks and consequently I can leave food out on the table and he wont touch it because he sees it as my property.
He is still a happy dog, he just listens to me and no I'm not a dog trainer I just know how to tell him this is mine don't chew it up!
For the life of me I cannot understand why people think they can treat their dogs like people and expect the dog to understand. Dogs don't speak languages! You can teach your dog the word sit but that doesn't mean he will listen to it! But you know what, if the dog respects you then you can tell him to sit without having taught him the word sit.
Sorry for the minor tirade I'm just sick of people who want their dog to be a live teddy bear. Not how it works people, learn it and move on.
Moving on to the subject I actually wanted to discuss, what is so special about empathy.
Empathy is nice because it establishes a connection to a person which can build a since of loyalty. Similar to the way a dog who respects its owner would follow that owner into the gates of hell. Empathy means that there is a bond to the friendship/relationship on which trust can be established. If trust is established then one can let down their guard and ultimately create something stronger. The phrase two heads are better than one was created for a reason. Also, in a relationship of trust then those in the relationship can help to compensate for each others faults.
What makes dogs so special is that you never have to worry about them trying to take advantage of you. It is easy to trust a dog, it is hard to trust a person.
Without getting into feelings and yada yada, empathy is nice because it can create stronger bonds and more reliable friends than logic can alone.
Here's another example. One of my best friends is a sociopath and another one of my friends is more empathetic than anyone else I've ever met. I love my sociopath friend dearly, but as M.E. put it, our relationship is a series of mutually beneficial transactions and nothing more. If I died tomorrow he would miss the transactions but he would not miss me. My other friend is so sweet, kind hearted, and friendly (empath) that she would hug a stop sign. I would trust her with my bank accounts. There is not a doubt in my mind that she would NEVER do anything to hurt me. Where as my sociopath friend, I don't think he would hurt me, but I'll never be quite sure. The result is that I can build a stronger team (relationship) with my friend the empath than I can with my friend the sociopath because ultimately speaking I trust her more than I trust him.
Generally, however, empaths tend to enjoy the "love" that is felt by empathy and therefore will go on and on about how wonderful it is, and blah blah blah. Don't get me wrong, enjoyable feelings are nice, but that's not what makes empathy important.
I agree with much of what you said. Empathy has its caveat. In order to appreciate it, I think one should have it. I see emotion as untrustworthy, by and large. It can reinforce and define, but relying upon it seems foolish. It seems like he meteorology of human mood. However, animals may be said to be purely emotional or instinctual. Animals seem logically emotional. Something like that. I suppose the fact that logic and emotion dwell simultaneously in the human brain makes relationships nebulous at best for anyone that may lean toward one end or the other of that spectrum more than "normal."
DeleteI like your comment. I love "she would hug a stop sign", I guess I would respond occasionally slightly irritated to excessive expressions of emotions. The last paragraph is interesting. Isn't the talk about emotions somehow superfluous? I am always at a loss when people tell me, it irritates them that I seemingly do not express joy, e.g. about a success. Why do some people need to "see" my emotions? Am I especially joyful about a success, well maybe not, if I somehow expected it.
DeleteMachavellempath suggests, "Love is the awareness that other people exist." Isn't it equally about feeling one's own existence? After all, we all know how many people exist. An estimated 7 billion, I guess. And doesn't it need two to work?
I still have a vague idea what you mean concerning your different friends. Two friends come to mind. One of them "was" highly entertaining, and interesting to study, but also pretty calculating, and manipulative, although definitively no psychopath. Bi-polar with the ability to switch from entertaining a whole party to utter withdrawal and depression in the next minute. Interesting to watch. The black sheep of an upper crust family with contacts and friends everywhere. When she started to study the most important profs in the department were contacted to take care of her, didn't help much though. She at one point got me to write a paper for her, among other things she needed for her exam ...
Well I needed to give something to enjoy the pleasure to study her family up close, especially her highly hysterically interesting "noble" mother. And the highly entertaining name dropping of her brother, or his attempts at making sure everyone knew about their relations up to the British queen. ;)
I see emotion as untrustworthy, by and large.
DeleteBy and large, is the most important part in the sentence above.
You have to differentiate. At times they are much wiser then your conscious thought, they register more and sent you signals, that challenge your conscious take and decisions. You have to learn to decipher them.
I am absolutely sure by now that I would have gotten myself much less into trouble had I listened to them more when I was young. I managed to completely suppress them. There even were times when the only way they could communicate with me where in dreams. Occasionally serial alps. Dreams I do not forget till this day. But even then I often ignored the signals, unfortunately.
The last paragraph is to make the point that many empaths get addicted to emotion. They relish in it, the need it, and therefore they seek it all the time. Which is why when an empath talks about "why empathy is important" they generally focus on emotional jargon.
DeleteSo yes, the talk about emotions in the last paragraph is completely superfluous. That paragraph is only included to illustrate the point that: generally speaking when an empath talks about empathy they will express their personal emotional attachment to it, rather than their observations regarding its usefulness.
That last paragraph in the previous comment "Anonymous" made here is absolutely a good and valid point. Best thing I've heard, so far.

My friend is divorcing a sociopath lawyer (who is being disciplined by his State Bar for his illegal behavior)... as a teenager, this guy killed his sister's dog, and pretended he didn't know what happened to it. I suppose he found the dog irritating on some level. Maybe it was noisy or destructive -- maybe it was so sweet, devoted and compliant that it made him look like the animal in contrast.
ReplyDeleteThere are different kinds of love. When I am not in a space of great distress over what this man is doing to his child (who he won temporary custody of in a court battle using gross lies and the help of his sociopath lawyer) and sociopath judge (no exaggeration), then I can have agapé love for the beast, the same way I would have some kind of feeling for a dog with rabies who is out of control.
At other times, I feel the same hate he demonstrates for his child's welfare and safety toward him. He has sexually molested this child in a way that doesn't leave marks on her. But the child talks about how daddy has groomed her for this and talks about the act itself. He turns around and accuses the mom of putting the words into her mouth.
So yeah, sometimes I hate this man and want him shot like a rabid dog would need to be shot. And sometimes I almost feel pity for him because he's a "rabid dog", and as such is not a happy "dog". A sick animal is not enjoying life, and at some point can not be cured.... needs to be put down.
For the record, he knows my address and knows I have a beloved pet dog. I fear for my dog's life if he ever loses custody of the child he is mentally destroying.
You have a beloved dog you say. Get a dog with a defensive/protective nature to add to your family if you can. This won't fix the problem, but it will help protect the other dog and yourself for that matter.
DeleteGeese, has anyone gotten the daughter a DNA test for evidence that the father is abusing her?
All I can say is that I grew up with lawyers I know that they are good at finding loop holes and either covering or exposing them. If it were me I think I would try to go after something he has done that isn't the center of his focus and therefore he would be less prepared to defend and use that as a stepping stone.
You have a responsibility to that child to take him out.
Delete" If it were me I think I would try to go after something he has done that isn't the center of his focus and therefore he would be less prepared to defend.."
DeleteGood advice. But I can't get another bigger dog to protect the little one (and me and my child). I am just having to hope that something else will distract the abuser so that he doesn't come after me and mine. I have been helping my friend and giving her some advantages that she didn't have before. So no doubt he wants me out of the way.
This guy is sooo bad that I keep hoping he's going to get caught doing something... He's had two DUIs, maybe he can get a third one, or maybe he'll get hurt by some random person he taunts, or something. In some ways he's almost a cartoon of a person. He just had a psych eval done for child custody. The doc wrote that probably people say that he's has a lot of humility... HAH! He's in trouble with the State Bar for breaking lawyer rules/laws, but he's humble?
He was abusing her with his mouth, shall we say. That's what the little girl has described (to the authorities, too). That would leave some DNA, but I think it would be easy to wash away, too.
My friend was trying to fight without money and without a lawyer for a time, but now she has a sympathetic lawyer, and there is some hope, but not any time soon based on our experience with some sociopath judges, etc.
A child is being sexually abused and you're worried about your dog?
DeleteAnonymous 11:07 AM said:
Delete"You have a responsibility to that child to take him out."
We're trying to do what we can within the law. So far, by trying to "take him out" with Child Protective Services, he used the "weapon" against the mom, and said she's attacking him by making reports to them. Child Protective Services is looking sociopathic at this point. They know what the little girl said to them about the abuse, and they seem to pretend that they can't figure out if it's true or not. They are in fact afraid of being sued by this lawyer (the abusive dad) who has a wealthy daddy who keeps supporting him.
You have to take my word for it, we keep trying to "take him out" legally. We aren't sociopaths or skilled liars. We don't want to be. If we tried to take him out illegally in some fashion, we'd get caught and the little girl would have no one to fight for her at all.

I learned that he killed his sister's dog at the beginning of this business. I have been trying to help my friend get the child away from the abuser in spite of the fact that he knows about my beloved pet. In other words, the dog is not as important as the child. If I had a million dollars we could have beaten the beast at his own game by now... I'd give it for the child's safety... she's not my relative by the way, just a friend.
I'm just saying that I fear for my dog because I know what this man is capable of. I also fear for myself and my child. But what do I do? Run and hide and do nothing? I can't.
Honestly, I think you should take a couple of self defense handgun classes and arm yourself in the off chance he should come after you. Also if you put up some small cameras around your house you will have proof if he does try anything. Be prepared for the time that he does try something, don't just hope it wont happen.

In response to M.E's final questions:
ReplyDelete"Ok, but does that mean people should have no problems being friends with someone who is a parasite, leech, or a sociopath?"
I am an empath. One of my best fiends is a sociopath. If I died tomorrow he would miss the interactions but he would not miss me. This has no bearing on my relationship with him. I greatly enjoy his company. I greatly enjoy our interactions. If I needed his help I have no doubt that he would try to help. The only real difference is that he has no emotional/personal attachment to me. But I still go to him for counciling, I still call him up if something exciting is happening and I want him to share in the fun. But I also don't delude myself into thinking that there is anything more there. I enjoy our friendship, one of the best things about it is that I can throw anything at him and he just rolls with it. I don't know any empath that can do that as well as he can. So there is a difference in my friendship with a sociopath than there is with my friendship with empaths, but its still a great friendship. I guess I don't need the boy to "love me" to enjoy hanging out with him. Our good times, are still good times.
So yes, people should have no problems being friends with sociopaths, or really anyone for that matter as long as the enjoyment is mutual.
"If there's such thing as unconditional love for all creatures, does that include sociopaths?"
I'm going to preface this by saying that most people preach unconditional love and then do the exact opposite. So I don't think there really is such a thing as unconditional love among people. Yes, this does include empath to empath relationships!
However, ideally I think there should be unconditional love for all creatures. In that case sociopaths should absolutely be included. But I suppose it comes down to why are people giving unconditional love. Personally I want to love unconditionally for a couple reasons. First, I think I am no better than the most screwed up person out there. There is no telling where I would be had I tried to live in that person's shoes. Secondly, nothing is really gained by not loving unconditionally. In order to make this point I first need to clarify something. Loving unconditionally does not put anyone at a disadvantage. I personally believe that you do not need to be blind to who someone is (i.e. their personality characteristics) in order to care about them. It is only people who do not pay attention and actually listen to people talk who will end up not knowing who someone is. Finally, many things are gained by loving unconditionally. The most important of these is stronger personal relationships. If I unconditionally love someone then that person is going to trust that I wont hurt them (at least not intentionally). This is true for sociopaths as well as empaths. My sociopath friend knows that I wouldn't do anything to hurt him and that I listen to him (listen not only hear!) when he speaks, so he is more inclined to connect with me because as he said "I feel like there is almost nothing I can say to you to make you hate me." My point here is that I have gained a great friend (more than one) because of trying to love people unconditionally. Sociopath, empath and all.
"And relatedly (but even more puzzlingly), some people act as if empathy is this great thing, but empathy doesn't seem that powerful or that special if it doesn't allow you to empathize with people who can't empathize back. Can you empathize with sociopaths?"
DeleteThe first thing I should say is that empathy is warped by social construction. A friend of mine is so empathetic that when she witnessed a murder even though she knew none of the people involved she hurt immensely. Now, we are all taught today that we need to cover ourselves up so that we can never get hurt. Consequently we end up seeking friendships with people who must be as emotionally attached to us as we are to them.
On a side note I could see why someone would want this in a romantic relationship but I think its completely unnecessary in a friendship.
This results in people trying to only empathize with those who they believe deserve it. Let me ask you this, if you see a person that you do not know skin their knee on the street do you feel bad for them? Better yet, if you see a person crying while saying goodbye to someone at an airport do you feel bad for them? If you see a person on the news who's ex-husband shot her children because he did not like her new husband, do you feel bad for her? If you care about these people you don't know at all then that is empathy. Empathy is an inherent trait in someone's personality that causes them to feel for someone else. It has nothing to do with the characteristics of the empathizy. (i.e. the person being empathized with)
Yet, we exsist in such a society where we are so afraid of getting hurt that empaths will attempt to shut off their empathy towards others that they do not understand, connect with, etc.
I personally empathize with my sociopath friend. He has recently started talking to someone who gives sociopaths a bad name. I honestly worry about him. He keeps saying "if I don't care then she can't hurt me." While I understand where hes coming from I know that she gets off on destroying others and I don't want to see him get hurt. If he does I would feel pain for him. (empathize)
In summary to M.E.'s questions. I (an empath) empathize with my sociopath friend and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Also, if anyone has any suggestions about what to do about the sociopath girl who gets off on destroying people then Please! let me know. I've got no problem with sociopaths (clearly) but she doesn't just try to mess with people she literally tries to destroy them, and I have no idea what to do.
Not knowing you, your friend, or the friend of your friend, I think advice will be limited. If your friend is a sociopath, I would see if appealing to his reason is a good place to start. Do you have proof of this destroyer's activity? That seems the strongest way to approach it. Otherwise, there might be some way to turn your friend into being undesirable as a target to the girl. However, depending on that process, your friend might take offense to things you may say or do toward this. He might not interpret it as helping him, but rather as judging or interfering. Bald-faced truth is best, though. It has the power of being self-proving, if it is the truth.
DeleteShe went after my ex because he was a sweat heart with a lot emotional of scars. I'd rather not disclose what she did exactly but suffice it to say that even though she failed she tried to destroy him emotionally. She intended to do something that he would never be able to recover from.
DeleteI have explained this to my friend, completely. He is a sociopath who enjoys walking on the edges of things. Basically he likes playing with fire literally and figuratively.
I would love to make him undesirable, and that might be a good place to start but the problem is that the girl does not like me, does not want to be around me, etc. So its hard for me to get my foot in the door on this one.
Thanks for the advice it is really appreciated. I realize that it is hard to give advice without knowing the people, but, I'm really out of ideas. If you come up with other ideas, please let me know.

Here is a good example of total bullshit from a socio:
ReplyDelete"Empaths feel justified in their cruelty, and believe they are doing something good. Sociopaths are ambivalent. While they may hurt you, they at least consider you a human being. Empaths have to turn you into a monster, and no method of torture is too cruel for a monster. When criminals were drawn and quartered, it didn't draw crowds of sociopaths to jeer and cheer. They were all empaths"
How the hell would you know they were all empaths? Have you any stats to back up your claim? Didn't think so.
Intended or not, this brings up a question: Would it be important to base sociopathy in context of the society it is found in? This goes for past society, since we all know America at one time endorsed slavery as the norm.
DeleteModern society to a large extent is tailor-made for "hollow folks". Its hard to shake off the impression that the tv commersials are mostly made by hollow men. Politics seems to fokus a lot on "hollow issues" such as troublesome taxes for rich folks with limited social responsibility. The nazis lost the war officially. In theory, so to speak.
DeleteOne reason I ask is to see if it makes sense to apply modern information on the possible percentage of the population of being sociopathic, or this or that, and give any confidence it can apply so pan-geo-temporally... Anywhere, any time, totally equally.

Interesting comments! It's gratifying that I was able to read them before today's section was sabotaged by the moronic 'contributions' of the love fraud idiot trolling the site.
ReplyDeleteCarry on :D

Everyone, everything, every animal on this planet, can respond in some minute positive way to unconditional love.
ReplyDeleteThat is my belief. Call me gullible or stupid.

For the one with the friend who is going to be destroyed by this destroyer..
ReplyDeleteYou need to find a way to refocus her on something else.
"She intended to do something that he would never be able to recover from. " can you say what? what drives her?
Can you figure out what she wants and give it to her ?
I don't know her well enough to be able to answer what drives her. She doesn't want to hang around me because she doesn't like the fact that I watch her.
DeleteAll I can say is that all she wants is to destroy people emotionally. I understand wanting to make people jump. But the best way to illustrate it is if a person's emotions were in the form of a lab rat. Then she would ideally want to dissect it while its still living and cause it death in the most painful way possible.
There is nothing else she wants. She doesn't place any value on her own life.
There is only one thing she fears and that is being locked up or controlled.
so she's set on destroying a sociopath because she's looking for bigger, better, most challenging target.
DeleteI'd bring in another sociopath who has no interest in playing with her fire other than to torture her with it. When she's done playing the "fear of losig control game" with the new guy she will be tired for one thing, and the new guy can also threaten her and say hell get her arrested if she goes near your friend. or you.
This is a really interesting theme for discussion, ME! But browsing through some of the feedback I just thought "Wow! What a tremendously effective way of ruining a great theme."
ReplyDeleteThe impression is that sociopaths treat intellectual disscussions, especially themes they don´t agree with, in the same arrogant manner as many other things... But this is surely not the case?
