It was concluded by others above that Piper is positive for sociopathy and also objectively demonstrates most if not all the symptoms. I am struggling to follow where and to what extent anyone has placed Piper on that spectrum - I was the only one who appeared to work through each one and understand a distinction between symptom and syndrome. The burden of proof is on the person who makes the diagnosis, not the person who contends that the diagnosis is flawed.

There are negative emotions too - Piper demonstrates anxiety and fear. Paranoia is indeed not an emotion, but anxiety is distinct to it and better describes her worries when her father was kidnapped.
