What's a sociopath?

hiker_62 Florence, AL age: 48	Have you ever wonder how to identify a sociopath? Here are some common markers: •Glibness and Superficial Charm •Manipulative and Conning They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims. •Grandiose Sense of Self Feels entitled to certain things as "their right." •Pathological Lying Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests. •Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way. •Shallow Emotions When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises. •Need for Stimulation Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common. •Callousness/Lack of Empathy Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them. •Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others. •Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet "gets by" by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc. •Irresponsibility/Unreliability Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed. •Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively. •Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story readily. (Fair use from several online references) Meet singles at DateHookup.dating, we're 100% free! Join now!

andornot Moulton, AL age: 60	... from the Andornot ... maybe music might open his window to reality ... read and comprehend the music, music ... "It’s been said many times how religion so elegantly provides cover for terrible people to get away with terrible things, all the while protected from scrutiny by the guise of being “a good (insert religion here).” Piety and faith, naively thought of by many to be inherently good and noble, provide a facade for sociopaths and psychopaths alike — one that protects the true, dark individual within — and enables their predation/"

browneyz San Diego, CA age: 58 online now!	If this posts saves one child it will be worth it. I was assisting a man that was very popular in the church (music, choir) He had all the kids wanting to learn songs, piano to be in his music productions for the church. We would practice, eat pizza (he always bought)all the kids loved him. He often took them home after practice. He was a big teddy bear, hugged everyone. Four cute vietnamese pre adolescence girls were his favorite. My first clue was when I came early to practice and found that they had been alone at his home with him and he became very angry with me when I verbalized my fears and his actions to other parents. He used me as a cover. The church and parents thought I was always present. He told me, laughing all the while. "my fantasy is to teach young girls how to make love"

andornot Moulton, AL age: 60	... from the Andornot ... browneyz, caught up in a conference call and was paying attention to my last post ... would have spelled it correctly and provide a short note ... thanks Burt ... ... current modalities for the treatment of the pedophile population is ineffective ... also, early identification of this behavior is poor ... also, if a pedophile is reasonably affluent, he/she is not being incarcerated ... typically, will be in some sort of outpatient treatment program ...
