Can I love? Sociopath trying to love.

I think I love her. I've also known her for 18yrs.
We were cutters.
She knows I've done horrible things. I went to prison.
She loves me? Or at least the idea of what I can be for her.
I've had the same dreams. She's had mine, that I'm too scared to say.
I've been diagnosed anti social. I have never hurt anyone who didn't deserve it.
I want to feel love, but is it possible?
The only thing she brings is I care about her.
Can a sociopath love someone other than ourself without a good reason?

Hey Dichotomy,

Do you like being around her?

Can you be there for her when she needs you?

Will you help her if she asks?

Can you be loyal?

Do you feel love only has to be expressed via feeling?

In my opinion, love is lot quieter and stable then many believe. While some can have intense emotional reactions to the thoughts of love, in most cases that is just infatuation and idealization. After the "high" what is left?

I can not tell you how to feel love or if that is even possible. What I can tell you is that love can be demonstrated through action and being there for people.

If you can manage that, whose to say that isn't love? It is simply your way of doing it. And if you receive something for that, whose to say it is wrong?
