/me breathes a sigh of relief.

I was afraid you'd call my bluff.
Are you saying now you /don't/ want my number?

Rude.

Because it shows you're good at everything? I don't follow.
Lol i was referring to the quick temper, solitude, and defensiveness of it all. Thanks for reminding people I'm the best though. :p

Aren't sociopaths good at controlling their emotions? Or don't have as many or something?

It's the other way around, sociopaths tend to have very poor impulse control. They have emotions but I've read that compared to "normal" people, their emotions are muted, what they really lack is empathy. If they were to hurt a person or cheat or steal from someone, it wouldn't really bother them much. Rationally they know that it's wrong because society says it's wrong, but they don't have feelings of remorse like most people.

Well, I guess I'm probably not a sociopath. I have impulse control issues but my emotions are definitely NOT muted.
