Am i a sociopath?!?!

Yes probably. But i read somewhere psychopathy is a sickness in your "soul" (maybe not the right translation, but "psycho" means something like "soul" and "pathos", is sickness. In other words sickness of the mind or soul). I read also that it can be seen as total weakness of the "will". The will (if that is the correct word) to do good.
I think if that part misses, the only part of the person that is left is the bad part.
I think every human who has a "will" to generate long term satisfaction for themselves, will feel good from it and thus will not become totally destructive for themselves and others. (and controls their bad part)
A psychopath only satisfies his or her short term impulses without feeling the consequences. (so no control of the bad part, no "will")
It's not that he or she want to be a psychopath, or is bad from birth.
It's just that the bad part dominates, because it's the only thing that works to satisfy their impulses. Because of the weakness of the "will" (the part that would control the bad part of a person).

In other words, a total lack of self-control. And conscience.

How i look at it.

Psychopaths can have self-control, which is evident in the more intelligent of us who manage to do quite well for ourselves.

Well one person is not the other, it comes in graduations i think. Weird you want to see yourself as a psychopath and still want to defend yourself, doesn't make much sense. Sounds like someone that has feelings, which psychopaths are said not to have.

Why wouldn't I defend myself if I was a psychopath?

Because i don't think a psychopath would be offended so much, since they don't really feel or learn from emotional pain. Or are my thoughts too extreme about psychopaths?

My motive wasn't emotional pain... It was boredom.

Anyway I think psychopaths don't care much about self-defence, since they feel of themselves greater than others.

Who said it was self-defense to begin with?

i dont think psychopaths feel their better than others, i think its that they feel the world owes them.

How is that different?

I think it's more they think they own the world. Like it's theirs.
