I’m reluctant to interact with people diagnosed with sociopathy and psychopathy. Even tho I know there are some great people diagnosed with these things. Yet equally as many horrible people if not more. AITAH?

strangers aren’t going to immediately list their diagnoses to you, and anyone else you should already know if they’re a decent person or not. Why is this even something to concern yourself with?

These type of ppl just struggle w some forms of human connection but it only really becomes an issue when they start placing their emotions on others in harmful ways. That’s what my psych professor said atleast.

For sociopathy or psychopathy? Bc I’m pretty sure psychopathy is the one that makes it difficult to do so

Right, and all of those symptoms are valid things to want to stay far away from for someone who doesn’t have that illness

Thought so, I’m pretty sure the regret thing is more closely related to psychopathy, i probably should’ve worded my post better lol sorry. Do u mind if i ask what u personally struggle most w when it comes to sociopathy??

Not to push or anything ofc, but in psych lessons we havent really heard/read anything from ppl who actually have the disorder

I don’t blame you for not wanting to, I get it, I mostly struggle with constantly wanting to lie and manipulate people but I try really really hard not to and can recognize when I am subconsciously; I also struggle but thrive in social situations if that makes sense; and ofc when I’m mad in particular I like get really secretive and hold hella grudges and love revenge (but not in a violent way), most times tho I talk to the person cuz I don’t wanna be a sociopath :(
