Lot's of people think I am a sociopath

When asked up front, most of my friends, and the FWB's I have think of me at least borderline sociopath. They say I do have empathy, but sociopaths with empathy is not unheard of. I of course from my slight amount of reading up on the type, would be at a lose to declare myself one or not. Would seem awfully strange for me to be the sociopath, considering I am the most stable in the family. I guess I also have the most empathy, but coldness to when I don't think the situation warrants empathy. I do take great joy when jackasses get told off by anyone, but that seems pretty normal. I can think of my self being able to (not desiring to do) pretty much any viscous thing, but everything I do I think through before acting. I get a long with people great, because I approach them how they work best, not how I will force my way onto them. I might just be a tad insane, but I'm good insane

A large percent of the population (as much as 1/3 but it's hard to know for certain) suffers from varying degrees of psychological sociopath disorder.

Not in and of itself I suppose, I just hope latent issues of the past are not the means for this is manifesting.

Just so long as you're not out torturing animals or have a pit in your basement where you play with your victims before you wear their skin I'd say you're ok.

You aren't a sociopath. Sociopaths lack a conscience. You are probably just young.

Possessing the hypothetical/moralistic/ethical capability of performing an act and having the intention or desire are incredibly different items, I wouldn't be too concerned. Would you say you use your intuition to understand and connect with other individuals? I'd be interested to know what your Myers-Briggs personality type is, and if there is any correlation between this subject and your type..

Some people are naturally more approachable than others. Typically with strangers though, especially people trying to look 'badass and scary' I try to observe defects in the scheme to see if it is an act, or if they are one likely to shank you. I'm not always right, but it helps gauge how to converse when it finally happens, and what level of guard to be on. I can't say most things are by intuition to understand and connect with people, because everyone breaks the mold in some way or another. I would said intuition to relate to people is limited to pain and other basic emotions in which one cannot understand the depth of the pain or how it feels to them, but you know it feels bad and try to offer a relief to the pain.

A large amount of people also think Bi-Polar disorder is when someone cycles through present emotions quickly, ie from sad to happy too fast. People and word of mouth is fucking stupid.
OP, Take a Myers-Briggs personality test.
