It's terrifying to become intimate with someone like this as you slowly realize there's a glitch and part of their soul is missing. And they think they are always right, and will never understand what they're missing in their prefrontal cortex.

But oddly enough their mental defect serves them as a strength & an intimidation factor as they go about life intermixed with neurotypical people, they plow through life unbothered, they win at everything as they remorselessly use & manipulate & plow through everyone in their path.

I wish in some dystopian(?) utopian(?) parallel universe these people would be identified then given a one-way space flight to a different planet where they all would live amongst their own kind. What do you think an entire planet populated ONLY with narcissists, sociopaths, & psychopaths would be like?

Let them all use & manipulate & destroy each other their entire lives while we innocent guileless fairer folks can have our peace restored.

I am deeply empathetic, but I pretty much experience zero embarrassment, regret, guilt, and very very little anger.

I experience a ton of sorrow though, and love, it feels like I love everyone. I know something is really weird with the way I experience emotions - I have wildly overactive empathy for emotions in others, but yeah, it's like I don't quite have a soul or something.

You have empathy, sorrow, & love, and then the fact you never feel embarrassment, regret, guilt, rarely anger, seems like a goddamn superpower. Strong & loving. And the fact that you even know what a soul is, seems to indicate you probably do have a soul. I once dated a narcissist sociopath and after a few years of knowing him I was talking about the soul and he went blank and he said he doesn't believe in souls. That was another indication I absolutely knew he was broken and incompatible with me.

I used to think that everybody had souls, I mean that's our personality, that's what gives us our uniqueness, but to think there are some lizard brain people with undeveloped prefrontal cortex, I think that is the thing that separates the evil people from the good people.
