I haven't claimed to be a sociopath-- I know I'm not one. I'm not manipulative. Similarly I'm not a narcissistic because I don't have an exaggerated feeling of self importance: I believe everyone, including myself, is worthless. In person people find me selfless, & other times selfish. You've observed the latter aspect. I've only claimed to be a nihilist & rationally inclined. Being apathetic doesn't make someone a sociopath Not sure where validation has come into this. I fumbled pointing out that there should be room for considering what the cost of a life is worth, & was instead met with attacks on my character. You're going out on a limb, making assumptions based on the slightest bit of information you've been given. Kind of goes along with my whole point about nihilism not pressing its ideology: people who have some righteous stance press their assumptions on others Now in being told I was only giving predictable hypotheticals I decided to open up, reveal some raw humanity. But it's a kind of catch-22 fallacy: you're a charade whether responses are facetious or sincere. Similar to the catch-22 fallacy of having to be distraught over a break up because either you're torn up over it or you're just acting like you're not Introspection happens, most often internally, but sometimes I drop a line into the id, hooking on to something: https://serprex.github.io/w/%3b https://serprex.github.io/w/%3b but go on, reject an alternative human experience, label it 'edgy'
