How to love someone
I'm a sociopath and psychopath and I have always yearned to feel human. In fact, it's my dream to have genuine human emotions. I'm tired of feeling indifferent and apathetic. I want to feel something for once. How can I do this?

The sad, honest truth is that if your diagnosis is sociopathy and psychopathy, you're never going to properly feel what people feel. It's out of your reach. Don't feel bad. I'm pretty devoid of the ability to empathize with people. I hear it's an interesting experience, emotional and whatnot... but I'm never going to get there.
There are, however, a number of studies indicating that talk-therapy can be helpful in some cases where a person is actively trying to alter their perceptions. In your case, you would be actively trying to conceive emotion, and the want makes the potential more probable. For that, you would want to see a psychologist (not a psychiatrist).
Personally, my diagnosis has evolved over the years, and none of my three shrinks can really explain how one goes from one disorder to another... but my progression from one to another should give you a semblance of hope. While there isn't really a cure for this sort of thing, there's always a chance for evolution.
