I've just read the list on the Sociopath thread. And I tick most of the boxes, which obviously scares and worries me. The only people in the world that I love and care for are my DDs and Mr Wrong/Right.
Can you tick those boxes purely because of childhood/what has happened in the past, which has made you 'shut down', or does that automatically make you a sociopath. Because, fairly obviously, I don't want to be one.
I'd say both my parents tick those boxes too, but nobody would know outwardly, with the exception of one friend, who calls my DM The Dementor.
