How to Tell If Someone Is a Sociopath

[BenLurkin]

A sociopath is characterized by the deficit of social emotions such as love, guilt, shame or remorse. According to the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, the sociopath lacks "a sense of moral responsibility and social conscience." Sociopaths often scheme to manipulate others without regard to consequences of inflicting harm. It is the cold-hearted way the sociopath reacts to his victims that illustrates his lack of moral compass and detachment from other human beings.

Verify stories and information provided by the suspected sociopath. Sociopaths typically concoct elaborate backgrounds, inflate their worth and experience and simply lie to convince others to give them what they want.

Look for lack of expression of guilt or remorse for wrongful actions towards others. Lack of emotion and failure to express remorse typically signals sociopathic tendencies. Sociopaths convicted of violent crimes typically remain expressionless and exhibit a cold exterior.

And...they CANNOT stand an 'un-eventful' existence. Its a sure-fire clue also.
If there is not enough 'drama' or excitement occuring around them, or in their lives,
they will do what they have to to stir it up or create some themselves.

This I know from personal experience, having had to eject a person 'related by marraige' from my home.
Yeah, chances are there is at least one in your family, AND,
There are 'degrees of sociopathy'...not all are murderers/criminals. Many are just the source of 'low-level' grief & stress that never seems to end.

No matter what relation they are to you, you will never escape their destructive behavior short of eliminating them utterly & completely from your life.

Ask 'em if they're a Democrat (or a "Moderate" Republican).

It was saying “redrum”...

I should clarify this would merely categorize me as a cynic who just doesn’t care anymore.

It’s probably been in similar jams...

Jams?

More like Apple butter in Hussein’s case.

Our US gov’t has been nuturing 5 generations of varying sociopaths. So, be prepared, their fruit has fully ripened. The cultural tipping point was reached in the early 90’s. Now, we begin the decentered descent. Geronimo...

Jam in the sense of a tight place...

When trying to identify sociopaths I always look for the Obama bumpers ticker first.
