Am I a sociopath?
I 25F do feel empathy towards people, sometimes it feels like I can read people’s emotions. But depending on whether they’ve been nice to me or not I might use their emotions against them. I am a social person, ESFP, I get my energy from talking to people so to one end I see people only as a means to give me the energy I get by interacting with them. I also do innately believe that I’m better than everyone because of my traumatic and rare life experiences. I don’t feel sorry for anyone’s suffering because they haven’t been through as much as me, which means I’d be happy to see them experience more pain. I would ask my psychologist but I don’t see her for a while yet. I am also doing a psychology course myself so I can apply psychological theories when analysing people.
