Are you a sociopath? I've heard that sociopaths learn how to mimic empathy, but can never feel it.

@4meAndyou what is sociopath

@SW-User People who don't know how or what to feel, and basically don't feel the same things as other people.

@4meAndyou How can you fix this

@SW-User You can't. You are born that way, if that is what is wrong. The ONLY thing you can do is pretend that you have feelings, and try VERY hard not to hurt other people.
