I'm still trying to make South Africa work, but it may get delayed.Instead, I think I'll end up going to Tokyo, Seoul, and Taipei this winter (no earlier than the middle of January).
Again, please let me know if you'd like to meet up in one of those places.
Thanks!
Photo is from my Estonia trip that I still need to write about.
Are sociopaths superior to other people or is that just what they imagine due to grandiose feelings (that compensate their low self-awareness)? Super-breed or dreamers..?
ReplyDeleteThe grandiosity is adaptive. They consider almost everything threat and lack the socio emotional functions most have, but they have the balls to take on the world. Boldness is essential for their survival; its quite fascinating to me.
Deletelol why should everything be a threat? and how would you know? did you make a study? and how is that be connected to grandiosity?
DeleteBoldness -> grandiosity
DeleteIf you want to know if, or why a 'sociopath' may consider everything a threat, you should observe one and make a judgement.
If a kind person gives the socio a cute compliment, its considered a threat? Then the socio goes into threat-mode?
DeleteIs the person genuinely kind?
Deleteohh well that's unfortunate, right now I don't have a sociopath here that I can observe... so would you share your observations with me?
DeleteI'm not self-aware.
DeleteNot the place. Look at a study.
Yeah exactly. They do not believe a person is genuine in complimenting them. Even after years as a lover.
DeleteI'm not a clinically diagnosed sociopath, but I score well above average on self-assessments which measure sociopathic traits, and I can attest that the above statements ring true for me.
DeleteI'm quite suspicious by nature. Unless I am restraining myself for strategic reasons, I am generally very bold, in every area of life.
From my perspective, timidity represents impotence and weakness, which are anathema to me.
I always imagined most socios were rather enclosed, and that malign narcis were the bold party-crowd..
ReplyDeleteWell.. how would you know that? What are you looking at?
