Introductory post - I am a sociopath

I too am an emotional individual,only that the depth of my emotions is mostly muted in comparison to the average individual however I do experience them and on occasions in a physical manifest.

With this in mind, I really don’t ever consider the emotional state of other people. I see it, I can sometimes “understand” why they are so emotionally responsive or influenced but I have personally never experienced such a thing.

This is where I believe the empathic response ques are lost on me. If I see someone suffering I don’t feel anything outside of confusion. “Why the fuck are you crying about this” is usually what runs through my mind.They make me feel sort of awkward. I don’t know how to talk to or deal with people who are crying or extremely distraught. I don’t necessarily dislike them, I just find them difficult to interact with.
