So I took a test today so see if I am a sociopath. Turns out I am based on this test. I'm not sure what it meant so I looked it up, but it was still unclear. Should I be worried?
Yeah, same here. And by my understanding, sociopaths are unable to experience empathy. For example, they can't understand that they shouldn't punch someone because it would hurt them, even if they understand that it would hurt if they themselves were punched and they would not like it. They can't care about other people on that level. Healthy ones, however, can understand that they shouldn't punch that person because it's unacceptable and unacceptable things get them arrested or at least make people dislike them, which can put them in a bad spot if enough people hate them enough. They just have to view consequences in terms of themselves because they can't comprehend consequences from the eyes of others.
This is just basic psychology, so if anyone knows more about it, feel free to correct me.
