Am I a sociopath?
I have no remorse for any of my actions, I can be extremely charming when I deem it necessary to get something, I am very passive and introverted, preferring to intellectually belittle someone rather than physically, I am egotistical, and I don't care nor worry about what I can't change. However, I have been in love once in my life, and I do have a strong sense of empathy (But I don't really act on it). Are these signs of a sociopath, or am I just weird?

A sociopath wouldn't question himself.
You sound like a neckbeard tbh
it's almost the same thing
You don't have many traits of a Sociopath. Well, atleast from what I read, yea you have the few obvious things about a Sociopath which can be confused with a lot of the times...
Other than that, you're just an ass, not a sociopath.
Also, you might be thinking you have the traits.
You're a normal person, except say out loud what people think in their heads.
meh, your description of yourself sounds like most of the population of earth
chances are, you aren't a sociopath. sociopathy is extremely rare and it sounds more like you think having a sociopathic personality is cool and you just want to garner attention for being different.
but whatever. nobody on basil is certified to classify your medical and mental state. if you're truly concerned or curious, go see a psychiatrist.
sociopath? yeah right. you just sound like you are trying too hard to be something.
@OnlineMusic: I know my opinion really doesn't matter, but wow! Good job I'm like really proud of you and I'm so happy for you. That's an amazing change.

I can't pinpoint it exactly, it feels as if it happened overnight. A lot of it probably had to do with teenage angst, not to say I still don't have any but much less of it. Some things that definitely had an impact on me to change, however, was the murder of one of my friends, seeing some guy get killed, noticing the change of friends close to me, and most recently, if you read my thread, my ex girlfriend. I just decided to change myself because I wasn't all that happy begin with anyways and I eventually grew into it. I used to get my kicks off seeing people getting hurt but I can't stand it anymore, I like seeing people happy; it's very contagious. I know people take things differently but I think it's easy to say you're this and that when you haven't really experienced anything "real" or impactful not to say OP hasn't.
I sometimes think I'm completely apathetic recently .It's been about 7 years since I've cried over a relative (or anyone for that matter) dying. I make the darkest, most gross, most immoral jokes and I genuinely think they're funny. Luckily so do some of my friends, but I assume they're laughing at my lack of conscience for saying what I say like "oh ho, wow, did he really just say that "
I still have feelings though, I just don't really have empathy or sympathy for people anymore.
no u are not a sociopath, u r an asshole.
nah, you just sound like kind of an ass.

[quote=katrie]Judging from the beginning description, you sound a little heartless (kind of assholey)
Also, if you have empathy then why wouldn't you have remorse?[/quote]
I am often described as an assholey person, I do have empathy to understand the pain of others, however I have no sympathy for them because along with that empathy I also can see how to over-come it.
@Templar Actually not, I saw it after I posted this, I did post on yours though.

I don't think sociopaths post on maplestory forums
