Sociopathy (Psychopathy)

No, infact most sociopaths dislike beign around other people. They find them annoying and stupid.

Sociopaths often have aggression (anger) disorders, other mood disorders like depression or Bipolar disorder, alcohol and drug problems, and other personality disorders like paranoid personality disorder.

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.

If they see it to be in their best interest.

Because their problems are deep-seated, and since they seen nothing wrong with themselves (being immune to remorse) they have no incentive to change. They spend their energy trying to manipulate the therapist -- sometimes with embarrassingly, even tragic results -- rather than focusing on the problem.

It depends. Is she abusing you?

Or could she possibly have been misdiagnosed?

Is she in denial? If she admits to it, is she willing to do whatever needs to be done to mitigate this devastating condition?

Do not put yourself in danger. Sociopath or not, you should never let her or anyone else abuse you, period.

I was diagnosed in 1992 as a primary psychopath (sociopath); it took me a decade to find anyone who would treat me.I'm a pariah, yet there are still some people who arewilling to deal with me, KNOWING about this, and carry no prejudiceinto the dialog.People say NOTHING CAN BE DONE. Except for one thing: themere fact that some scientists know as much as they do about the brainof a sociopath means that solving the problem is no longer animpossible and obscure wish -- it's moving within the realm of concretepossibility.As soon as large numbers of sociopaths begin to be treatedin a way that actually helps them, that corrects as much as possiblethe chaos of misdirected signals in their confused and disorganizedbrains, and then a form of therapy that in addition to that, bynecessity, teaches them to cope with the resulting maelstrom of emotionand impression that was formerly impossible, so that they can put it in order and start to develop the heretofore dormant and silent segmentsof their brains and better use those formerly mixed-up areas where norecognizable order ruled, THEN THE OTHERS MAY BEGIN TO NOTICE WHAT ISGOING ON...and they will know at least this much: instead of "the kissof death," a diagnosis of ASPD (the DSM-IV way of saying sociopathy orpsychopathy) will lead someplace; that there will be things done thatactually make a difference.Crippled as they are neurologically, sociopaths are yetshrewd, and they're always looking out for themselves in a way similarto that of a loner predator. Seeing others like them actuallybenefiting from treatment will have to start persuading them thatthere's something to gain in going for help after all. Not beingrejected or met with "We can't help you; you're evil incarnate," or theequivalent thinly disguised in euphemistic psychology jargon; NOT beingmet with a situation where they'd have to substitute symptoms of an"acceptable" illness in place of those they bear in secret -- thatwould almost certainly, if gradually, have an effect: if a sociopathcan clearly see a benefit coming from admitting his or her realsituation, there's nothing to stop him or her from doing just that.It's already started to happen, if in a tiny, barely perceptible trickle.Right now, all science has at the ready for them is to usevarious types of preexisting medication given in attempts to counteractthe chaotic way the brain of a sociopath functions. That and types oftalk therapy carefully altered to avoid the pitfalls that have in thepast caused regular therapies to make sociopaths worse instead ofbetter. But the more that scientists such as Robert Hare and hiscolleagues delve into and experiment with the new types of brain scansand learning what makes sociopaths tick like human bombs, the morelikely that it becomes with each passing year that a means will soon beisolated to defuse those bombs.The primary source of a sociopath's infamous rage isfrustration, of a sort so alien and so extreme that almost no one elsecan understand what it means.

Once they start getting taken seriously,that frustration, and the wild rage it provokes, will lessen, and sinceit is a primary source of the constant distrust that makes regulartherapy fail sociopaths, the defusing of that rage and its maddeningcauses will be a huge step in the right direction.

From what you've said, you've made your case to her, and backed it up with specific examples. And she either finds what you said to be without merit, or believes that he has sufficiently redeeming qualities for those negative things not to matter.

So now your role is done. It is your daughter's marriage, let her handle it.

Not being blind to a mother's concern, you may do two more things, before being silent on this.

1. Make clear to the husband that on the day your daughter wakes up, you'll assist your daughter in seeing to it that he legally pays for any harm he inflicts.

2. Make clear to your daughter that you'll be there for her to pick up the pieces when it goes south, but in the meantime Mr. Wonderful is not welcome in your home, nor do you care to discuss anything good about him.

I would tell them I am quitting, and explain why. I would go to their superior, and explain, if the sociopathic boss was the source of the problem. I would make sure that I covered all my bases, before telling the boss, and woulddocument everything, send certified letters, record, get coworker letters, etc, if I felt he would be retaliatory, and usually they are, for no reason, but that they are parallel emotionally, but they also forget quickly, so that is in your favor, if you move on quickly.Hope that helps.

Generally characteristic of individuals with Antisocial (Dissocial) Personality Disorder.

Sociopaths are likely to respond to exposure with rage, threats, and hurtful communication.

Sociopaths might find other sociopaths interesting, but would soon fall become bored and frustrated. Sociopaths like easy prey to manipulate, as they like to feel everything is below them. So sociopaths might actually try to avoid other sociopaths.

It depends on the stage in the relationship.

If it's the first couple dates and their tactics fail, they generally will not make the effort to "waste their time" and just move on to the next willing victim. I guess an only exception would be if they really wanted something out of this person (power, money, whatever they can gain) they may put in more effort and become obsessed to the point of stalking. It depends on the person, every sociopath has a different personality and motivation.

If it's an established relationship, the sociopath will do everything in their power to stop the relationship from failing to the point of obsession. Threatening phone calls, turning others against their partner, using guilt, manipulation, and lies to stop the relationship from failing. If the partner is strong enough to not fall for it, the sociopath will eventually lose interest and move on to someone else, as they have no real attachment to the person, and pretty much think of them as property.

A psychopath is someone who is able to harm another without feeling pain or guilt. Some paedophiles- the ones who actually hurt children (most paedophiles don't actually touch a child)- are psychopaths. However, not all psychopaths are paedophiles. I doubt that there are more paedophiles among the psychopaths than in the general population.

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. If a sociopath is romantically involved with a sociopath it is likely to be shortlived since they will not have anything to offer.

So really.... no. 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.

It is a fact that you will get a boner for life !

I have learned about sociopaths that they are mainly concentrated about themselves, because they did not have caress from their parents in the childhood, since they had mean parents who taught them only to go after money and this is what they only know- who threw them out from the house- instead of making money themselves and buying the house for their children. This is how children become sociopaths and superior. Also, we are all sociopaths - but we love each other, you can definitely cure a sociopath- by constantly working with him, and concentrating him or her to a good life, instead of being manipulative and think that you are not able to cure a sociopath. It is all about work. They teach us of loving and caring for each other.

People often judge sociopaths due to misunderstandings and stereotypes about antisocial behavior, which can evoke fear and mistrust. This judgment is often rooted in societal norms that value empathy and emotional connection, leading to a perception that those without these traits are inherently dangerous or morally deficient. However, it's important to recognize that every individual is complex, and not all sociopaths engage in harmful behaviors. Ultimately, societal perceptions can be limiting and do not reflect the full spectrum of human experience.

start again - not everyone is going to be so cruel, and if you are honest there were probably a few signs along the way that you didnt take enough notice of.

what is the best way to get back at a sociopath

They learn to prey on the weaknesses of their targets. They are psychological kidnappers. How do they do this? They work at fitting into your world, so that you

believe them. They notice what you love and enjoy and find ways to degrade whatever you love or enjoy. They create unnecessary situations, and demand that you fix the problems they cause and name you responsible. They notice your reactions, and then prey on your life. It's not possible to enjoy something around them, or they will seek to ruin it. It's not possible to not enjoy terrible situations they

bring into your life. Either way, bad or good around a sociopath enables them to

control the victim. I tried not responding at all, and got this, "Your mother is insane,

she doesn't respond to anything." When the victim figures out what's going on,

the sociopath knows this and plays on the people in her life....her children, her family to bring them in, and have them work with him to control and own her life.

This does feel like kidnapping, and escaping the sociopath is a horrid experience.

By the time a victim chooses to escape, they know too much about the sociopath,

and he/she is insistent they must ruin you. This is psychological kidnapping.

The hardest part for the victim is that they did a lot of work in a lifetime with a sociopath. To escape, they leave everything behind....both the good and the bad is left, so grief will be there. The victim lives in a state of confusion over the dreams

they had to make the relationship work, and the abuse.
