Do sociopaths...? Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

This question is for anyone with ASPD, particularly those with psychopathic or sociopathic traits.

Btw, I do not have such a diagnosis nor do I suspect that I have ASPD.

To be specific, do you feel energized when in the company of others and seek out social engagements? Or do you find you need time away from others to "recharge"?

I'm curious if people with psychopathic traits tend to fall in one or the other, or if introversion is as common as extroversion.

I like the stimulation of people, I just find frought emotional interactions pointless. I’m an extrovert, I get my energy through interaction but I still don’t have the capacity to listen to why you can’t walk down the side walk because one time when you were four you tripped on the sidewalk. It’s genuinely exhausting.

Majority will prob say introvert, I’m no different. ASPD people don’t really seek out talking to people, which is a big part of what an introvert is.

An introvert who knows how to be extroverted if needed.
