Am I a sociopath?

[SmootsDaddy89]

One of my co-workers mentioned that only a sociopath can completely seperate their personal lives from work. But I came in to work on the same day that my grandfather died like it was nothing. Mostly because it was. He wasn't an asshole or anything, and I had no reason to hate him. It just didn't affect me at all when I found out about it. And we were relatively close as far as grandparents go. Is there something wrong with me? Am I about to start going Dexter on people? This is somewhat distressing for me :/

Depends on what kind of job you have but you can absolutely separate the two... some people have to... don't take the opinion of one person to heart.

Sociopaths don't ask the question "Am I a sociopath"

[Kitten Diver]

You sir are workaholic. Even if you didn't like your Grandfather at all, it's a free day off work only a company slave wouldn't take the day off.

And like Panthro said true Sociopath's wouldn't care to ask the question

meh, sounds like you know how to compartmentalize, which is a very good trait.

I did the same thing when my grandpa passed a few years ago. Doesn't mean I didn't love or respect him.

I am completely different at work. Total professional. I keep my jokes to myself. People at work think I'm boring. I never told anyone at work anything about my personal life, political views, or feelings. Only thing they knew about me was that I'd go sailing on my vacations. Not sure why I did that, it was just easier for me not to have to explain my Huddle friends to the people I work with, I guess.

I look at every single person on this earth with no emotion whatsoever. I can count the people I've cared about in my life on one hand. I worry about my own state of mental health at times.

Do they know about the huddle?

[SmootsDaddy89]

Yeah panthro brings up a good point. I mean, I fuging hated working at Wal-Mart. But when I was actually there I gave it 100% and had a completely different attitude. It's good that I'm not the only person like this though.

In closing, here's a gif showing how saltman's college days played out.

That's what they did in Jihad college?

you spelt psycho wrong

[KillerKat]

Just the fact that its distressing to you means you're not

Whatever.....

Every person that posted in this thread made a mental note to never go deer hunting or do anything with Smootsdaddy that required being more than 10 yards from civilization at any time.

For most of the time I was there, I don't think so. But then, one day out of no where, I suddenly could not access the Lovely Ladies forum anymore. I get the feeling someone found out about it.
