For what it's worth future-Flint, I am personally a big believer in this:
See the end there? If I am getting this right, that's you when you made this thread, having your "how did I get here" moment.
That is human, but it is also something that I have learned you can not take for granted. The dangerous ones are the pure innocent good ones - they will continue to be pure innocent and good no matter how they effect anyone around them. If you are reacting to guilt - not merely shame at how people think of you or regret at social consequences not going your way but actual genuine remorse - then not only are you not a sociopath but your a better person then a hell of a lot of people.
