Now do you see why the dog on the roof is a big deal?

77. Here's the thing...

A sociopath understands what social norms are, but just doesn't give a shit. A sociopath understands that others have feelings, but can't actually empathize with those feelings, yet can exploit them to their advantage.

The thing with his dog? The dude's fucked up and out of touch and doesn't give a shit about dogs. If Romney were a sociopath, he wouldn't have told that story. He's just so out of touch that it never even occurred to him that people would be disturbed by that story. We only know about it through him. That is not how a sociopath operates.

Being a bully and being a dick to teachers? He was a stuck-up spoiled rich kid - 'nuff said. There were plenty of rich brats in my high school in Michigan, which was just a well enough off public school. I think there were probably many more in his super swanky private school, and it seems he was one of them. I doubt that he was in the minority. We only have this new story about his teenage behaviour because the other people who helped him do this shit corroborate the story. Is every single one of them a sociopath as well?
