There is a variety of circumstances that can contribute to sociopathy. Some people can experience trauma and still thrive socially. Others may be deeply affected by such experiences and become depressed, angry, addicted or suicidal adults. There are many cases where sociopaths have experienced no significant trauma at all.

Sociopathy is often a personality trait that may or may not be related to life experiences. If a person has a predisposition for sociopathy, any type of trauma is enough to trigger maladaptive and antisocial behavior. Many times, childhood abuse (even emotional abuse) is associated with personality disorders and sociopathy.

What if two sociopaths were romanticly involved would it work better verses a sociopath with a normal person?

I am a diagnosed sociopath so I speak from my own experiences. We... we being sociopaths simply use people for our own gain and progression in life. Think of a predator hunting it's prey.

It's hard to describe and frankly if I were to meet another sociopath I would stay far away. Competition in my game... I don't need that.
