High functioning sociopath here. Is it morally okay to 'toy with' another person who I know is a sociopath when they don't know I am too? They are trying to manipulate me into doing something.
I don't feel like hunting for reasons to act out sociopathically is a terrific idea, myself.
I know from experience that looking for "good reasons" to be angry only lowers your bar for what constitutes a "good reason". It's a race to the bottom.
@mcfate got it. thank you, and have a good day
EVERY DAY, A GOOD DAY!
@JamieTheTransfemme in my personal opinion, it’s not morally okay to ‘toy with’ anyone, regardless of their disposition 🤷♀️
@Valkyrie_D got it, but does it change if I just be their friend and whenever they try to manipulate me just do the opposite of what they wanted me to do, so they ultimately end up annoyed and confused while I laugh internally?
@JamieTheTransfemme answer me this:
Do you think that would be toying with them? If you answer ‘yes’, refer back to my previous reply.
@JamieTheTransfemme @Valkyrie_D
Consider simply saying, "I can see that you're trying to manipulate me, and it's not going to work, so you ought to find a better use for your time."
@JamieTheTransfemme I'd say, have fun
