Keep in mind that the definition of a sociopath is more or less “one who treats other people as low-level NPCs”.
Indeed, and people would do well to remember that there may be situations wherein you are in fact the relatively “low-level NPC”.
Also known as “the mark”. The good news is that you are rarely aware of being one.
I am not sure this is good news from the standpoint of consequences...
Point well taken! However, this still seems like a potentially useful skill to have when you must interact with someone but wish to defend yourself emotionally.
