The phenomonology of a sociopath

I came across this article and found it pretty interesting.


I suffered from a different type of urge, a compulsion brought about by the discomfort of apathy, the nearly indescribable absence of common social emotions like shame and empathy.
...
This impulse felt like an unrelenting pressure that expanded to permeate my entire self. The longer I tried to ignore it, the worse it got. My muscles would tense, my stomach would knot. Tighter. Tighter. It was claustrophobic, like being trapped inside my brain. Trapped inside a void.
...
I thought of the pressure in my head and the sense that I needed to do bad things sometimes.

I am still hunting.

There's something about sociopaths in their own words that just gives me the wiggles. There's also something about sociopaths in their own words that's just sooo angsty teenager.

The structure of the article is strange too hey. It goes from "I'm a naughty sociopath" to "Sociopaths are actually ok" without any growth or narrative arc. "I'm a bold girl" to "I'm high functioning... I've got a PHD". It reads more like a flex than anything else. 

A story with a beginning and an end but no middle. I feel that's a very interesting thing.

Ok, but seriously. That's why I'm interested. We think hes a psychopath. Hes the nicest guy ever but doesn't have a conscience.

And we also think this one lady has the narcissism variant. It's hell.

The fact that its just bare phenomenolgy is awesome.
