I agree, I like that through his resigned self-awareness, the narrator seems almost sympathetic and relatable. In fact, if you take away the title, the poem speaks of a certain human condition we have all experienced on some level, at least once. A very compelling approach, especially when often sociopaths are portrayed as gleefullyt cruel and unfeeling when that isn't necessarily the case.
Some great lines as well. The third verse, in particular, was for me stunningly good. You've got a winner here

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
