you might be a sociopath

Maybe I’m a sociopath then. There are very few I trust. There is even some family that I don’t trust.

You sound a lot like me. If I'm a sociopath, then I'm a fairly ethical (or at least legalistic) and self-disciplined. I've managed to avoid felonies, misdemeanors and even traffic tickets.

I tend to meticulously follow the rules, and I hate waste. I refuse to kill spiders on the grounds they are beneficial, but in various incidents (due to chickens being killed, a pet cat getting mauled, trash cans knocked over and emptied) I killed a fox by throwing an aluminum bat at it from 50 feet way, killed 5 raccoons by crossbow.

I tend to divide people up into 4 categories: useful, marginally useful, useless, and threats. Woe to those in the 4th category if WROL breaks out. When I decide to do something, I'm not known for hesitation. (whether it is beating up a bully, jumping out of a plane, or killing an animal that has become a nuisance) Given that in a serious crisis, some people devolve into animals, I really don't see hesitation as a problem. I'm also not known for being squeamish.

There is crime in my neighborhood.

I have run through the scenarios of what to do when somebody kicks in my front or back door.

Those scenarios involve shooting the intruder.

Not looking forward to it, but it’s part of being a grown up and defending my family.

I just hope my barf and their blood doesn’t ruin the hardwood floors, which are the best thing about my old house.
