I've come to learn that the determined and gifted and genuine sociopath has far more power to deceive than we realize.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've never been a fan of sociopaths who have no conscience. That scares me because they're capable of anything.
I guess the verdict is in - I am not a sociopath. It's not effective or productive not to be nice. It would undermine the goals I want to achieve on any given day.
All of us have a bit of a sociopath inside of us, and it's wrong to think that somebody is just clearly sociopathic, because they're not. It's interesting to explore the shadings and nuances within a person. Those feelings exist within more human beings than people may want to acknowledge.
Who would not rather trust and be deceived?

I think with any characterization there's a point where you empathize, no matter how much of a deviance his or her actions may be from your understanding of humanity.

A sociopath is not just someone who doesn't care about human emotion. They're someone who understands people to the point that they can manipulate them to an extraordinary degree.
The surest way to be deceived is to consider oneself cleverer than others.
