Maybe I should be embarrassed by how much I love and identify with Jane Doe, who says she's a sociopath.

I love how perceptive and logical she is about the differences between what people say they are doing, what they think they are doing, and what they are actually doing. I love her honesty. I love her loyalty to the one person she cares about.

I identify with the way she reads genre fiction in order to understand human behavior. Is that a sociopath thing? I used to read a lot of mysteries because it was so satisfying when the detective would make some confident statements about how humans do and do not behave. I understood that Agatha Christie was not the best tool for understanding people, but she was better than anything else I had available.
