First of all, I think the concept of TheProblem is flawed. I don’t think there is necessarily just one problem that is “the bottom of the problem” whatever you mean by that.
You presented a conversation, and asked us to read between the lines. So, I did. If I was actually attempting to figure out what was going wrong, if I was going to take action about it, I’d need way more information than this one conversation. I wouldn’t describe anything I said as conclusions. My procedure for concluding these is “I didn’t conclude them.”
What specifically do you want to know about my thought process or procedure? I already put clues in what I’ve written. For example, some of the reasons I think he may be a sociopath is the combination of not finding pleasure in life, feeling no remorse, and not showing any thought for the effects of his actions on other people in his responses. I already said that. Also, sociopaths are about 4% of the population. It’s plausible. Given that, and given some pattern recognition from having come across some people who turned out to be sociopaths, and given what I’ve read in the several books I’ve read about them, I would at least keep it as a possibility in mind while dealing with this person. It’s also a question “Is this person a sociopath or not?” that affects how you may want to behave going forward and what is likely to work or not.
I can only bring my own knowledge and experiences to this, and there may be stuff I’m missing because I don’t have experiences with it, or stuff that is a projection of what I’ve encountered, and not applicable in this situation.
I don’t understand what you are asking me, or what specifically you want to know. I can go into more detail, but it’s tough to know which details you are interested in or asking for.
Can you describe how you came to these ideas as TheProblem? Your thought process or your procedure for concluding these?
