- actionfromafar 3y agoIf they think they can get something out of admitting, why wouldn't they?
- pi-e-sigma 3y agoGeee... I thought it was crystal clear that when I stated 'a sociopath would never admit to being a sociopath' it was about a confession where you genuinely admit you are behaving badly out of your sense of remorse. Any kind of 'tactical' admissions simply don't count. It's like with pathological liars, they too, can sometimes admit to some lies but still maintain that they are 'generally' honest.
- Ekaros 3y agoWhy would sociopath think that being sociopath is bad or wrong? They could very well think that it is what makes them better than others. If they lack remorse they can admit that they are sociopaths without any remorse or regret.
- pi-e-sigma 3y agoBecause they understand that being a sociopath is considered to be 'bad' by the society. What's so difficult to understand? Liars and pretty everybody also think that being good at lying is an advantage but admitting to being a liar is simply a bad tactic
- clows 3y agoI don't know why your definition is _the_ definition. A sociopath can be self aware.
- blamestross 3y agoRight, admitting you behave a certain way isn't the same as "admitting you are wrong". Hell it is a useful tool for either fitting in or when you get in trouble. The biggest thing you seem to miss, is that being a sociopath is a lack of intuition and instincts, not what choices they make. Our entire society and economic structure is about convincing sociopaths to contribute despite the disability.
