How to Not Build a Sociopath

A sociopath can be defined as a person with anti-social behavior. He or she can be defined as aggressive, coercive, deceitful and oblivious towards the value of human lives.

Over time, consciously and unconsciously, much of our behavior is learned. The mind adapts to the interactions it receives over time from other people, and develops accordingly.

It is important to note that not all outcomes are intentional. It was not intended by the Jedi Council, in Star Wars, to turn Anakin into Darth Vader by denying him the rank of master. However, unfairly denying someone something he or she wants is how you build an anti-social personality.

When you are excluded from the group, bullied, and denied things the rest of the group gets, you build a sociopath.

Unwilling to accept a person for who he or she is, unwilling to show compassion when they express distress, is how you build a sociopath.

To NOT build a sociopath, that is done through love, affection, compassion and respect.

When you are denied these 4 elements, you might turn into an anti-social individual.

Love, affection, compassion and respect are things which are amiss in our world compared to the amount of harm made through injustice and social exclusion.

Love is a tool for redeeming one's own darkness. Love is something that is amiss in our world. There is too much alienation, too much apathy, too much hostility online and sometimes offline too, to the point that sociopaths are built through such learned behavior.

By willing to show love and affection to someone, you can reduce their anti-social traits by making them feel valued and appreciated.

When you recognize their merit and their potential, you can increase their desire to be part of the greater world, either through active participation or through any other form of contribution.

In the absence of love, people grow different. People grow alienating, aggressive, anti-social. Such people likelier to break the law and even find themselves in the criminal underworld.

Sometimes, all it takes to calm one's aggression is a display of affection. Affection is a powerful tool that soothes one's distress and makes them feel like they belong.

The power of love is the key to everlasting happiness. Whether through rational self-love or through fostering affection-based relationships, people can become less sociopathic and more calm and even happy.

A case example to how sociopathy is built is Jason Voorhees. Before he becomes a cold-blooded killer in the films, he was a special needs individual who was mocked, shamed, and eventually forsaken when he drawn to death in the Crystal Lake Summer Camp.

Had Voorhees received love, affection, respect and compassion from the other children, as well as from the staff, he wouldn't grow into the nightmarish, relentless human killer that he became when he got resurrected and immortal.

The more unique a person is, the harder for them to be accepted by the vast majority of society. The issue of uniqueness is only an issue because society presses people to conform to it in order to be accepted into it.

People who struggle to conform, or are unwilling to conform, will suffer more rejections from society, might be rejected as insane, and will be dismissed as too weird or eccentric.

This is a very wrong thing to do as we should foster a world of inclusivity, where everyone can contribute in a way that fits their quirks. The more you are rejected, the more you might reject social norms. The more you are loved, the less likely you will turn into an anti-social individual.

To preserve my good nature, I decided to become a hermit and forsake humanity. I have no desire to partake in a social game that is built on unfairness. Instead, I prefer to rectify the world from afar because I feel pity towards this war-torn, expensive, twisted world where money matters more than the human heart.

Despite being rejected a lot in my life, I have proven my worth by building an article empire that is meant to contribute for free.

I am satisfied with my actions and refuse to grow into a sociopath. I prefer instead to help this world through my writings.

I do not have the heartlessness to partake in a largely-heartless world, where status and luxury matters more than human decency and from having a big heart.
