Has Anyone Ever Met A Sociopath?

[heavenlee777]

Freshman year of college I had a clustermate who tried poisoning his roommate with rubbing alcohol, Lysol, and Drain-O, for no apparent reason.
He was a hardcore Christian who acted righteous and like he did nothing wrong.
When he was caught he just laughed about it to other people like it was a joke and never felt any remorse.
I think he was a psychopath, but a lot of people told me he was a sociopath. Anyways, overall he's just %%%%!% up.

I'm sure we all have many times and never known it. I've met many. I work at a Psych Crisis Unit.

Thinking of yourself as a sociopath is as common as kids thinking they have ADD.

A psychopath thinks 2+2=5 rather than 2+2=4. A sociopath knows 2+2=4, but hates to admit it.

I actually looked it up earlier though

is there such thing as a psychopath turned sociopath?

...guess you can say i am a sociopath

i'm just grateful that i had a proper upbringing. i watched a special on people with sociopathic tendencies and most of the ones who went haywire were abused, bullied, etc.

Shallow Emotions 
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises. 

You think you feel something because you don't want to be wrong.

My sister is a sociopath. The crazy part is that she doesn't know it.
But I think I have known it for like 6 years.
Its a genetic thing too. I used to think it was personality based, but its def in my own experience genetic.
But certain traits stop being learned and become genetic when the behavior cannot be corrected.
Its messed up watching her kids being brought up the same way

I agree, remember, being a sociopath means you guys have to absolutely lack moral responsibility. In other words, you're incapable of having a social conscience, which makes you very weak-minded in some aspects. 

The main difference between a sociopath and a narcissist is that the narcissist requires adulation from his peers while the sociopath doesn't need such reinforcement. Apart from that they're actually pretty similar. 

Right. I failed to go more in depth. It basically comes down to validation.
