Oddly enough, some sociopaths are very forthwith about their disorder. Generally those who confess to being a sociopath are A: either lying or B: trying to control it. Being removed from the messy emotions that tie them to other humans, such as empathy, sympathy, and love, they are more readily able to recognize that impulse control is their only means of maintaining a normal life. All sociopaths realize what they are even if they don't have terminology for it and develop accordingly by watching other humans interact. By the time they have reached adulthood, they have a fairly formidable cache of prerecorded responses with which they use to interact more normally with other humans. Bare in mind that just because sociopathy is more common in those who have been abused, doesn't mean every sociopath was abused as a child. In most instances, if the person you are with admits they are a sociopath, then they have opened up to you in a manner that is remarkable and they feel that you are truly trustworthy, being as that is nearly an impossible feat to achieve, you should be flattered and they probably aren't a threat to you. In fact, there probably isn't much they wouldn't do for you, so do be careful about glib remarks revolving around the death of your boss, they may not realize you really don't mean that. Despite popular opinion sociopaths aren't inherently evil, they just aren't wired the same way. Many sociopaths go their entire life without maiming anyone, it all comes down to impulse control which seems to be in short supply here in the U.S., not only for sociopaths, but for normal people too.
The sociopath lacked empathy and manipulated others for personal gain.
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.
He looks just like every other sociopath I've ever met.
Do nothing to indicate you see them as a sociopath. Find a counselor for them to see regularly, or a psychiatrist .
