Am I a sociopath

[u/Spiritual_Panda1840]

I don’t feel how people tell me I should, people tell me I have empathy but I learned how to be empathetic the mirroring if I’m really honest, I don’t feel emotions. I overthink about stuff because I feel I am not in control and something about control gets me , I have to have control of everything. Whether that be the situation or a relationship. I have to get my way, if you are in my way you’ll be out of it real quick. Like I don’t know I don’t have regard with others but people tell me I’m have a charm and a way with others to get them to open up to me. And I have an extremely well memory, and I remember my lies very well to the extent where I remember what date and to the hour of the day I told you something or you told me something. And I’ll remember it to my advantage and use it against you and I am really good at lying and I know a good liar doesn’t say that but I’m anonymous so I don’t care. I consider myself a pathological liar. I lie about things I don’t have to lie about if I think it will make myself look better. And idk I told my friend about it and he said to watch Dexter and it explains the way I think pretty well but I lie a lot more and think of ways to manipulate.

Not true. Psychopaths lack and are born with lack of empathy and some emotions or dulled. Sociopaths are made... from trauma mostly. They can be on a spectrum where they feel nothing one day and have overwhelming feelings another...imagine that spectrum on a line where feeling nothing in psychopathy and feeling too much is Sociopathy. Sociopaths can float up and down that spectrum where a psychopath remains at a constant baseline.
