You wouldn't care: It's less likely that you are a sociopath if you care. But even if it is only tendencies, get help. Therapists can work with you to learn strategies to master your urges and impulses and behave better. If it begins to feel good, it will take over more of yuour choices as time goes by. Find someone you trust to be a coach in training your conscience.

Antisocial: The modern clinical term for sociopathy is antisocial personality disorder. The hallmark of this disorder is the person seems to have no conscience, or sense of morality, or right or wrong. This person cannot empathize with others, is opportunistic, predatory, and often thrill seeking. An example of this would be Charles Manson. Any licensed mental health professional can make this diagnosis.
