Disclaimer: I was married to a sociopath, and am raising a child influenced by a sociopath, not one myself.

That said, I would like to share some thoughts regarding a new show I am watching, continuum and get some feed back from those with sociopathic traits.

The show tracks a group of terrorists from the year 2077 back in time to the year 2012 as they escape a death sentence through time travel.

As I'm watching the terrorists plot their next move I can't help but think of my ex, and the anarchists I knew in high school. I don't know if my narcissistic traits made me a natural born friend of sociopaths or what, but I seem to have been exposed to a lot of them.

Has anyone in this forum seen that show? If so would you say the terrorists are expressing sociopathic values? I know I could google it and probably confirm my hunch but I'm more interested in hearing from the people on the ground.

Thanks in advance for having me.

I haven't seen it.

I think "sociopathic values" is kind of an oxymoron...

However, personally I have always been seen as the resident anarchist in any group. So there's that.

I understand it's an oxymoron and I didn't have the energy to be clever yesterday . Sociopathic traits would've been a better term. I've also been watching twin peaks, it appears there a lot of sociopaths and psychopaths in that show as well.

I've heard of twin peaks but again haven't watched it. I'm not a tv person.

Ok I could start a post about the book I am reading, or the two books I'm reading.
Thanks for this!
