Opinion of yourself

[Cory]

I'm an "HP".

And by that I mean I realize that nobody "deserves" anything in life and I have a very cynical outlook.

Most people call this being a Horrible Person, I just call it being smart and a survivor. My cynicism has never led my astray and the times I do try to be sympathetic always works against me. Other People are largely predictable and pathetic.

It would be treason against myself to feel for them any more than they can benefit me personally.

It's terrible but it's just so true.

What you describe sounds an awful lot like the mental condition known as Antisocial Personality Disorder. I would advise you to seek psychological counsel.

And become a weak victim who exists to be exploited like the others? I think not.

I didn't expect to convince you, and I obviously don't know you enough to be of more help. I should feel sickened by your worldview - especially for the good people around you that you're probably making miserable - but that probably wouldn't be fair if I'm right and you are afflicted by this condition. All I can do is hope that someone around you will realize that something is deeply wrong with your mind and alert the competent people.

Believe it or not I don't make the people around me "miserable". I care deeply for the people close to me and would do anything for them.

And it's not like I go around advertising this to people. Most people I know aren't remotely aware of my more extreme views.
