Why Nick is not a sociopath
Sociopath - "a person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience."
Nick has friends and interacts with people. Does he have a large group of friends, have we even meet anyone he knows outside of his Grimm world. No but that does not make him anti-social . It makes him a solitary individual, big difference then an isolationist. lack of conscience. The entire show is about how his conscience gets in the way of being a Grimm. Because a person does not laugh at a joke, does that mean they did not find it funny. Because someone does not cry at funerals does that mean they do not morn the death.
What RMP was saying you criticize Nick response because of not showing the outward emotional cues you would expect to see. There are people who never crack a smile. do you really think they are never happy. It is only recently that it has become acceptable for men to cry.
Who Nick broke down seeing his mothers head. Many would see that as a sign of his being weak, of not being a real man. Have you ever seen John Wayne cry, or show the emotions you criticize Nick for not showing.
If Nick responded like Monroe he would not be the hero, he would not be perceived as strong.

Quote:but it's crazy to suggest he cared little about anything that had happened.Did you really take this as RMP making a personal comment about you. The statement referred to your accusation not having merit.
Quote:I didn't see any embarrassment.That is your opinion and no one can say what or how you see something.
Quote:I thought he showed a remarkable lack of emotion for losing his Grimm powers. Even when he wanted the powers back, he still didn't show a lot of emotions. That could be due to his genetic makeup, he does seem to veer more toward a socipathic personalityThat is an observation without merit. Just like I said no one can tell you what you see. You are trying to tell us what Nick feels. If you where to say you don't see any signs of emotion, that is one thing, but to draw a conclusion of a false premise that is crazy. Ok maybe not crazy but certainly self righteous.
