Sentry did say, however, borderline sociopath. As in, close, but not really one.

And by sociopath I interpreted that he meant someone who doesn't really care about others, either just because, or because they're mentally incapable of (which is the case with sociopaths).

Sociopaths may not feel "happy" or "sad" or "angry", at least for the normal reasons. Same with empathhy and sympathy. But they are still capable of learning when it would be normal for one to express happiness, sadness, or anger. In other words, they can learn how to imitate emotional reactions.

That's why sociopaths look just like everyone else. They can learn how to pretend to have emotions and feelings, to such an extent that it's normally very hard to distinguish them from normal people.

Now, this doesn't mean sociopaths are all cold murderers, liars and criminals. There is such thing as a "good sociopath", or at least a sociopath that is not a danger to society.

But even then....they don't really give a fuck about things. Better said, they are incapable of giving a fuck about things.
