brokenwingOh, you despicable sociopath,
Sitting upon your throne of nothingness;
Can you hear their voices echoing in your head?
“You never loved us; you loved the idea of us. There is a difference. And you don’t love the one you’re with now, either.”

You are deaf.

Oh, you pathetic sociopath,
Thinking upon your empty heart;
Can you see each of your “soul mates” running away from you over and over again in your mind?
“You were never our soul mate. A soul mate wouldn’t repel us nor make us feel unworthy of love and understanding.”

You are blind.

Oh, you sad and soulless sociopath,
Resting on a pillow of empty morals;
Can you read the minds of the people who simply tolerate you?
“We call you Darth Vader behind your back. Do you realize that? You’re the butt of our jokes.”

You are dumb.

Oh, you conscienceless and self-righteous sociopath.
The only fool getting in your way is the one staring back at you in the muddy puddle of your reflection you continuously attempt to avoid.

Step in it, Dear Sociopath. You may be surprised by what’s gasping for breath just beneath the surface.

    Hmmh, so much hate towards something you simply don’t understand. It would be fun if a sociopath would write about you, ordinary people, in this way. But I guess that would be just cruel, right? Unlike this.

      Hmmh, acrually we really simply do understand these people–and calling them people or human is a stretch–it’s just that we don’t like or agree with their evil behaviors and lack of empathy. And what is cruel about telling the truth regarding a certain percentage of society? If someone acts in an abhornet manner and we point it out why is that cruel? If a person wants to be regarded in a good light then they should behave in a good manner period. Oh yes but that is not possible for these monsters of socity unless of course they are trying to manipulate someone. So, yeah we get it–we just won’t put up with it any longer or shut up about it. Really no hate involved at all just merely speaking the truth. Have a blessed day :).

      Calling us deaf, blind and dumb is actually an insult, you know. Not that I care, though. And sociopaths can act just fine even when not manipulating and exploiting. Even though, that’s not fun at all, it is done in order to preserve the good reputation. So, someone’s not necessarily hurt every time a sociopath walks into the room. I’m getting off topic now, but I just had to say, we aren’t all the same monsters.

      Hehe! You need to learn a few things about poetic license AND not to take things so literally and so personally. See. In your defense for yourself, you reveal your nature. Dumb, deaf and blind you are! But you don’t care, right? And people ARE hurt by the very presence of sociopaths. Evil infiltrates insidiously. I don’t tell commenters to “Fuck off” but I’m telling you: Fuck off but try to have an un-fun day not being manipulative and exploitive. 🙂

      Hi,
      Being on the receiving end of a Sociopath is the pits so, no point defending them here & I suggest you look elsewhere if you want to defend them to the people they have caused so much heartache too.
      There is nothing nice or good that comes from an involvement with a Sociopath & they do more harm than good.
      You should move on & leave us survivors to share & support as we don’t care for your input as you obviously don’t care for ours.

      Love & Light 🙂

      I don’t defend all sociopaths, I am just saying not all deserve the same treatment… uh forget it, you can’t understand a thing anyway because you’re too blinded by your hate towards one person that hurt you and happened to be a socio. If they were borderline you’d probably hate them instead.
      And thank you for your kind words! Hahah

      Yes, all sociopaths can be and should be treated the same way. They alll engage in the same text book behaviors and verbage, and they should be locked up away from the rest of normal society. It’s too bad we are not able to do that at the moment. But yeah, the world and society would be much better off if we could elimate the sociopaths.

      I’d say that sociopaths can actually be useful in some aspects though. Surgeons for instance. It benefits both, we get a thrill and challenge, you get nicely done operations. But nooo… why not locking us all up? It’s easier than trusting some. Anyway, I’m tired of this convo. Can’t prove something if no one even considers it.

      Sweetie, there is nothing that you could say that would convince anyone here that sociopaths have any merit what so ever in life or socity. Whatever merit you think you have is simply the machinations of your distorted thought processes and the false mask you all live behind–and everyone here knows what is behind that mask—not much other than evilness, emptyness and shallowness.

      Sociopaths only fit in because they lie and manipulate others. It is impossible for them to fit into normal society. Now if you would like to fit in why not get into therapy and work on being a better human. Actually do good things rather than just pretend you do good things. No one is attacking anyone just merely pointing out facts. And no, no one gains anything when a sociopath is involved. But see you are all finally getting outed. Sports figures, politicians etc…we now who you are. We have all seen behind the mask—you can not hide amongst us any longer :).

      If I felt bad about what I do, I’d take the therapy by now. But I don’t.
      So you see, I need masks because no one wants to accept the way I really am. It’s been that way for my whole life, so, if others can “punish” me by exposing my bad sides, I can punish by toying with their lives. As simple as that. There’s some sociopathic logic. Go ahead judge. I’m out of this nonsense.

      You can toy with their lives until they find out what you are. Then your power over them is lost. How interesting that you blame others for the fact that you wear masks to cover up the dark soulessness that you are but we did not make you this way. No actually either you were born with a defective brain or had some deep abuse early in life–but we did not make you any way you are. You could take responsibility for your self but as you said you don’t feel bad for what you do so you don’t. So why should we feel bad for calling you out on your behaviors? You see accusing us of judging you is just another attempt to manipulate emotions–but once we know that well then, we can now have fun with the sociopath as you try to defend your behaviors on deaf ears. I really wouldn’t want to be you. To look in the mirror and see no soul. To always have this black pit that can never be filled, at best only temporary by the flavor of the month. And while you can decieve and manipulate for a time—the day comes when the mask slips and you are outed—-and there you go off to start the sad cycle all over again………

      Are you so sure? Manipulation is so engrained into your psyche are you so sure? You see the biggest manipulation that you do is to yourself. You manipulate others to fool yourself that for a brief moment in time you are worthy, that you have value–because the only value you give to yourself lies in what others believe of you. So at the core you really are only trying to fool yourself. Because you see empaths really don’t need an other to validate themselves or to give them worth. The sociopath needs the empath to live off of, to feed off of much like a vampire sucks blood. But on the other hand the empath does not need you to survive or to be validated. Hmnnn,now ultimatley where does that leave the power? I daresay in the hands of the empath whose eyes have been opened wide :).

      Yes, I’m sure, I know how my brain functions. Being a sociopath is only the aspect involved with other people. I do have other interests.

      Regarding the power… it might be in empaths’ hands, but I still pull the strings of those hands for the amount of time.
      And I have a friend who knows the way I am and still clings to me, and I’m not manipulating her. Which proves some of us can function with people without manipulating. It isn’t all black and white, sweetie.

      Aquavelva, didn’t I tell you to buzz off? It seems you’ve gone and frustrated yourself, huh? Like Ivonne noted, those of us here who are onto sociopaths and know what drives them (control) are unaffected by your attempt at shaming us for calling you out on your shitty behavior. Who is the one controlling whom now? Each word you spew validates and offers further evidence as to why we are absolutely correct in all of our conclusions. Currently, you’re our entertainment and the butt of our jokes. I am certain Ivonne fell asleep last night chuckling to herself at her ability to strip and discard your empty argument. Or are you too blind to see that? How’s it feel to be the puppet? (Keep in mind that if you keep commenting, you continue to be the puppet we enjoy tugging at.)

      Now Aquila, again who are you trying to kid? You certainly do not have any affection for anyone. This person whoever she is, is simply a source of narccistic supply for you. If you don’t understand the terminology it simply means that this person is the drug of choice at the moment or the flavor of the month. Again you are trying to convince an audience here that you are capable of some human emotions when we in fact know that it is simply not the case with you people. Hmnnn….try again 🙂

      Not every sociopath is at the same level, Ivonne. I did learn to care for some things. I grew up with cats and I care for them, for instance. I’ve never harmed a cat. It is the same case with my friendship. She can’t ask me for compassion, but I’m capable to help about decisions when her emotions stand in the way. It isn’t quite an ordinary friendship, but we both enjoy it on a daily basis.
