By everyone else's standards? We are responsible. It's confining, annoying, & unnecessary but I grapple to pretend I understand it. But truthfully? Someone with bipolar is more likely to physically injure someone in a mixed mood fit than a sociopath would on a regular day, but that is just my presumption. People are inconsequential, yet everyone is under the flawed impression we spend every waking moment, stalking like lions until we find a victim... Anyone who may get caught in the crossfire is mere happenstance. And if someone didn't want to live a long life at the hands of the legal system? Like pretty much all of us in our right minds? We find the best possible margin between satiating whatever need (money, sex, etc) & that harms the other person as little as possible, objectively.
How else are we supposed to stay under the radar? If we all just "came out" in such a blatant fashion, no one would be huddled in a corner, afraid of becoming a victim. There wouldn't need to be websites for victims because they could just be avoided. Not all of us are Ted Bundy or whatever stereotype you people have in your heads. Same general premise, as it IS limited to diagnostic features, but we don't cease to be individuals based on a simple personality defect. I understand your cynicism, but you can't simply generalise an entire group of people because there have been bad experiences. No one has bothered to compile a list of antisocials/psychopaths that have made positive contributions to the world. So you're not the only cynic. You're just following society &, as someone who fits there, I can't blame you for that decision. I just thought people would practice discretion.
Again, apologies, writing this from an iPod & I haven't the foggiest on how to go back & reformat!
