@@angrydiver_4220 yes, thanks. I'm intrigued whether what you just said is borderline sociopathic, bc it certainly fits the description somewhat. I also think it's quite interesting when people admit their lack of empathy for others, when very well knowing you might get called not being "human" enough? If you get what I mean. Although all types of people with different mindsets exist there seems to be this idea of - relating and being empathetic- good person while the opposite is bad. I want your opinion on this if you don't mind ? Ps. English isn't my first language so I'm sorry it may be confusing

Very true coming from a former gang member myself back in the day father was always gone working in other states mother was gone half the time trying to solve other people's problems guess she thought she was a hero.
