╟ So·ci·o·path ╢
╔
Noun
A person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and lack of conscience.
╝
In other words, severe form of lack of empathy and lack of guilt which is why they are often compared to psychopaths. However not to get the two confused with each other, sociopaths often blend in well with society because they are able to form deep bonds with others, where psychopaths cannot.
It is also said that sociopaths can brainwash anyone into doing what they say, and can even brainwash people to love them.
Sherlock Holmes was a high-functioning sociopath.
And she was in love brainwashed by him.
Completely and Utterly brainwashed by him.
But how can a psychopath with no emotion be brainwashed by a sociopath with very little emotion?

For someone that has a college degree I would expect more from you. " John scoffed at the deep baritone voice insulting him. " For someone that has supposedly watched me my whole life, I would have assumed that you would have some type of sympathy for me. Besides, I've seen you before. You just choose to hide. " " I'm only like this because I know that you can handle it. You've dealt with me for this long and I'm hiding from you to save you. " He was right. John have dealt with him for a long time. But he was tired of not knowing who he truly was. The voice knew everything about John while John knew nothing about him. " Can you at least tell me your real name, S?
