It's alright. It's not a concerted effort or some form of pretense, I think it's more than likely a genuine personality deficiency or even some sort of mild disorder; the anti-social tendencies thing. But I'm not some really awful character, it's just that my actions often belie the fact that I'm alright.
You're right though, there's less of an impetus to actually start behaving nicely if you still have friends even when you're a bit of an asshole. The above post probably makes me sound worse than I am though. It's more that, in the social construction of "normal" ways of interacting with people or whatever, I probably come off as aloof, indifferent and detached. And I'm pretty fine with that really. That's all.
