As a sociopath, how much do you value your independence?

Much.

However, reality versus my wanted set of values differ. To explain, as a kid I hated authority figures, listened to no one and did what I wanted. Because I saw that as the epiphany of freedom and independance. But I was dependent on others as I was a kid. And I knew that. I also knew no one would refuse to help a kid out because I still had the potential to become something great if someone showed me just a little luh.

As a teenager I became fully independent and learnt in adulthood that you need other people to reach new heights of success. Bill Gates had a partner at first, so did jobs. So I found out ways of making people dependent on me so I could depend on them. In the end, depending on other people gives you more options and more options means more freedom.

All in all, I depend on other people or TAkE AdavAnTaGe and MaNipULate them in order to enjoy my freedom. Because ain't nobody free.
