The closest thing to "sociopathy" that the American Psychiatric Association currently recognizes is something called "Antisocial Personality Disorder." It has a lot of symptoms, but generally boils down to the fact that you're easily bored and you really, truly don't care about right or wrong or what other people think or feel.

If you think that honestly describes you, and you're not just trying to be a tough guy by making people think you're some kind of psycho, then hopefully you'll always be conscious of the fact that you're different, and you'll warn people about the way you are so they don't get hurt. Think of it as making things easier for you. If you really are like that, don't get married and have kids. Again, make life easy for yourself.
