5 Dark Signs Someone Is Secretly A Sociopath

I would suggest it doesn't matter if they are a psychopath or not; Learning to detect if people are trying to manipulate you is a good skill.

“Be disciplined about what you respond and react to. Not everyone or everything deserves your time, energy, and attention. Stay in your light.”

The Theranos lady had the spookiest crazy stare, I can't believe people trusted her with anything.

I’m no psychologist but if someone is being unusually nice to me my spidey senses kick in and I know I’m being subjected to attempted manipulation

Keep in mind that while the prevalence may be around 1 in 30 population wide. The occurrence in a given group will vary widely. A room full of politicians may have a prevalence of 1 in 2. Seven foot tall humans is a good example. They are a rare sight but not at an NBA game. The 'paths will self select as well as drift towards certain occupations and social circles.

I would like to mention, as someone with autism who wasn't diagnosed as a child, looking at people's eyes tends to bring me a sense of unease and extreme discomfort, bordering on pain. Growing up I was always told that it's cowardly, and dishonest to avoid eye contact and it shows you aren't interested in the other person. So I started making myself look at people's eyes when talking to them. Nobody ever told me that too much eye contact can be creepy so I assumed that not blinking would be better. I also had to teach myself manually to blink when talking to people. That sociopath stare isn't always done by sociopaths.

Energy never lies. Always remember that. Always trust your gut.

One of the red flags I notice is: "I'm sorry you feel that way..." Blaming your feelings instead of their own actions...

Man I feel like a lot of people are going to mis-label a bunch of socially awkward people as siciopaths after this video.

“Imagine you want something. Now imagine how you would get that thing if your brain could not feel guilt or empathy”. That explanation did it for me, thanks

This video describes my brother-in-law 100%. What a trail of destruction he has created in our family. If you observe sociopaths long enough, you'll start to observe strange behavior patterns, almost as if they're icy cold robots with no choice but to follow a certain programming. At heart, everything they do is centered around CONTROL.

As a middle aged man that was very recently diagnosed with ASPD, I can confirm most of these things. I tend to scare people without trying. And once I grew up a bit, I began to notice the instincts I have and my compulsion to manipulate and dominate were not getting me anywhere. I therefore realized that I needed to re-learn my pattern of thought in order to stop hurting myself and others in my life. I've been attending trauma therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. It's been a lot of work. I hope I can be a force to build and leave a positive impact someday, instead of rotating through jails and institutions and lovers for no good reason.

I was raised in a home with very little, if any, empathy or compassion expressed by my father or mother. I did not see it or learn it. So I remember wanting to feel empathetic all of my life. Most of my life was spent trying to mimic empathy. Now, at 67 years old, after a hard life, I developed empathy and it is so beautiful.

One trait I found is they’re very kind and super welcoming, but right after they get what they want they become totally different person

Two of my really good friends passed away. I was distraught. They said “why are you so upset, people die, get over it” yikesssssssss

What happens when a sociopath meets another sociopath? Must be a chess game

I’ve seen the sociopath stare a few times in my life and it is a big red flag. Don’t ignore it. Don’t ever ignore when you feel uncomfortable around anyone either.

Not all sociopaths are bad. It’s their deeds that make them evil. It just easier for them to cross the line.

I always look out for the secret smirk when they think theyve got you ..

man, that Elizabeth Holmes short clip is just fuel for nightmares
