“At a point, there is nothing you can do to make someone love you, nothing you can do to make your love better or lasting, but you want it, search for it, and make every effort to sustain it regardless.”
M.E. Thomas, Confessions of a Sociopath: A Life Spent Hiding in Plain Sight

“While I don't think sociopaths have any sort of moral urge to do good things, I think they can and do act morally in the context of pursuing their own advantage. A good analogy would be a corporation. There are a lot of corporations that do things that you like, maybe even good things, like produce vaccines or electric cars, although the primary motivation is to make a profit. But just because you are trying to make a profit doesn't mean you can't do it by doing things you like, or that you are good at, or that comport with the way you see the world, or want the world to see you.”
M. E. Thomas, Confessions of a Sociopath: A Life Spent Hiding in Plain Sight

“I regularly comment on my desire to exploit my admirers or to kill babies and cute animals, and I don't even need to laugh or smile for people to think I am joking.”
M. E. Thomas, Confessions of a Sociopath: A Life Spent Hiding in Plain Sight

“Everybody slips up becaues we're not perfect; that's what mercy is for.”
M. E. Thomas, Confessions of a Sociopath: A Life Spent Hiding in Plain Sight
tags: mercy

“Perhaps the most noticeable aspect of my confidence is the way I sustain eye contact. Some people have called it a “predator stare,” and it appears that most sociopaths have it. Sustained eye contact can seem hostile, and so zoo visitors are frequently advised not to stare at gorillas, lest it be taken as a sign of aggression. Most humans seem to think so, too;”
M.E. Thomas, Confessions of a Sociopath: A Life Spent Hiding in Plain Sight
