Can psychopaths recognize other psychopaths?

Asked by Minnie Crist

Sociopathy is chiefly characterized by something wrong with the person's conscience. Sociopaths only care about fulfilling their own needs and desires - selfishness and egocentricity to the extreme. Everything and everybody else is mentally twisted around in their minds as objects to be used in fulfilling their own needs and desires. They often believe they are doing something good for society, or at least nothing that bad. The term "sociopath" is frequently used by psychologists and sociologists alike in referring to persons whose unsocialized character is due primarily to parental failures rather than inherent features of temperament.

pathological liars is usually defined as someone who lies incessantly to get their way and does so with little concern for others. Pathological lying is often viewed as coping mechanism developed in early childhood and it is often associated with some other type of mental health disorder. Pathological liars have little regard or respect for the rights and feelings of others. A pathological liar often comes across as being manipulative, cunning and self-centered. A compulsive liar is defined as someone who lies out of habit. Lying is their normal and reflexive way of responding to questions. Compulsive liars bend the truth about everything, large and small. For a compulsive liar, telling the truth is very awkward and uncomfortable while lying feels right.

In the life of the sociopaths reconizing a pathological liar is more common that the other way around. Anybody that has basic studies and a little more experience in life, can recogize both disorders. A person doesnt has to be to smart to recognize this disorders.

How did George Washington get pneumonia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

George was a man that had a strict schedule every day. Since he had a large plantation to oversee his habit was to get up every morning, without fail, and ride the plantation checking on crops, slaves, and other other matters. About three days before he died he had an awful cold, but stuck to his schedule even though it was cold and wet outside. He came back wet and cold, had breakfast ( his usual routine) and ended up with pneumonia. Three days later he was dead. Martha was so upset she didn't attend his funeral, but watched from an upstairs window. She locked herself in her room and wouldn't come out for several months.

What is on your left side under your ribs?

User Avatar

Asked by Keely Wyman

I looked it up and it appears to be that your stomach is on the left side, as well as your spleen. If you are talking about right in front it is your stomach, near the back or on your side is the spleen. But I'm reading this from a website so don't belive me a hundred percent. But I have checked it with other sites just to be safe.
