The basics of this is 1) seeing someone who uses others for their own gain, without regard to considering the needs or feelings of others, combined with 2) lack of empathy, to the degree that if someone is physically or emotionally hurt, there is no caring response. Beyond that, most true sociopaths have a record of conduct disordered behavior in their youth, including animal cruelty, bullying of others, stealing property, disruption of school and neighborhood activities, weapons play, and the like. In adulthood, most sociopaths have a criminal record, and not just misdemeanors, but felonies (including capital crimes).
Sociopathy is not diagnosed in people under the age of 18. See the links below for more information.
My older sister is a sociopath.
Sociopaths almost never recognize their lack of empathy and cruelness as a problem. so if you "bust" him or her, nothing good will come of it. Sociopaths will never change. The conscience boat came floating by when they were young and they never jumped on it, and the boat never comes by again. The best way to deal with a sociopath is to get as far away from them as possible. If you must have contact, have as little as possible.
You don't. Get as far away from a sociopath as you possibly can.
"You are a sociopath." However, if they truly are, it won't matter to that person.
No, one should never marry a sociopath. Marriage involves trust, and a sociopath by his very nature cannot ever be trusted completely.
Just because she is "female" doesnt mean anything. A sociopath is a sociopath and the only way to "deal" with them is to stay as far away as possible.

Do nothing to indicate you see them as a sociopath. Find a counselor for them to see regularly, or a psychiatrist .
No, not a sociopath. He was mentally ill for a period of time which made him vulnerable to disease. this made an infection to the leg. Not a sociopath but many believed he was a mentally scared psycopath
Recognize that the actions of the sociopath are in no way related to you and who/what you are. Recognize and understand that this was an accident or fate or nature and you were just unlucky to meet this person. Recognize that, as self serving as this may sound, it is very possible that the reason this happened to you is because you are most likely a good person. How so? Because Sociopaths prey on empathetic and trusting individuals. Take the pain, embrace it and share your knowledge with others. Use all the tools available to you and refrain from acting out in anger or retaliation. The tools are your family support, spiritual support, therapy, calm and above all the Truth. Do not allow the evil to permeate your person and consequently permeate others. Draw the line. Be strong. It's OK that your were hurt, deceived etc. We all get raped at some point in our lives. It wasn't you, it was the sociopath. That is the truth and the truth is a powerful tool.
A sociopath.
