Has anyone here ran into an actual sociopath?

[xavengedx23]

A legitimate shameless, narcissistic, manipulative, emotionless human. Don't think I ever have. Curious to hear stories though.

[Sociopaticus]

I used to be one when I was on ritalin. Totally phucked in the head. Will type out stories tomorrow if I can remember

[jesusxchrist]

A ****phile was coming onto me at a bus stop once srs. Does that count?

[USBrah]

INB4 FBI raid your house and demand you answers of the sociapath you met.

[MusicProducer]

Yes, my brother (100% srs).


Dude legit has 0 concern for other people and every time he shows up to talk to someone it's because he's trying to work some kind of angle and get something out of them.

spoiler: this is how every human is. our sense of "empathy" is heavily socially influenced, every human action is guided by self-interest, srs. we just don't like to see it that way.

Yes, 4 being from one ethnicity - both online and in real life. (Hint: They produce more history than they can consume). I don't have any stories because I couldn't stand them & got out of their company asap. They are born amoral tribalists imo and I avoid those people at all costs.

Another was an extremely friendly guy in his twenties who casually divulged that he had worked for the AB in trafficking. Did you carry people over the border? Sometimes. Were they going willingly? Shrugs. Why did you do that? I was poor & didn't have a choice. He just stared at me smiling as if he was describing a stint with McDonalds. I later reported to FBI & he fled the state as far as I'm aware. Several weeks after that conversation someone did try to break into my home though & I always wonder if it was related.

[bodybuilderbob8]

Yep. My cousin. He's 16 and abuses multiple drugs on the daily, and he feels no shame stealing from family members and negatively impacting or even ruining others' lives. He's a waste of oxygen to be honest.

[orangetide]

I met 2 in college.


Both ended up becoming cops. Srs.

[xavengedx23]

You, I , and everyone else is like this. Actual truth about human relationships

[krazy33]

We all have traits of it

Im pretty sure my dad is

Also know that sociopaths and psychopaths can fake empathy

That's such bs. I know when I feel empathy. Maybe it's just me, but I'm willing to put others' before myself, especially family members, all the time, even if it's detrimental to me. And it hurts me seeing other people suffer, even those who aren't that close to me. I do know society in general has been becoming less and less empathetic through the years, and studies have shown this, but there are still good people out there. I don't know, maybe I'm part of a dying breed.

[SageofsixPaths]

ask me anything, diagnosed when i was 16.

[CrazySerbian]

My ex gf I think.

[deltbrah]

my ex gf

[JayDubbs932]

I remember I was at this party one time and this girl was asking people if they could answer this riddle correctly, they are a sociopath lmao. Here's the riddle:

While at the funeral of her own mother, this girl met a guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing, so much her dream guy she believed him to be, that she fell in love with him there, but never asked for his number and could not find him ... A few days later, the girl killed her own sister.
Question: What is her motive in killing her sister?

[Mwizzle]

ask me anything, diagnosed when i was 16.

top 3 sociopathic things you've done irl

Edit: ^was it because her sister killed the mother

[VocelLoser]

psychopaths can fake empathy

No they can't.

[bodybuilderbob8]

ask me anything, diagnosed when i was 16.

What's the worst thing you ever did (in the eyes of society anyways) and conversely, how did you feel about it/perceive it?

[pollywogpriest]

my ex gf

This. Not kidding.

you "put others first, help others, ect ect" because you like the way it makes you feel. emotional payoff is a huge motivator and part of the whole self-interest thing. it isn't a bad thing, just how we are wired. dat dopamine.

[NVious]

Yeah, ex-mercenary, stone cold killer who was involved in snatch and grabs, intimidating powerlifter, strapped to the teeth. Crazy dude

Either her sister killed their mother or slept with her Chad.

[SoutheastBeast1]

Every morning when I head to the bathroom

[VocelLoser]

Either her sister killed their mother or slept with her Chad.

Nah, she thought the guy would show up at her sister's funeral and wanted to see the bloke again.

[JayDubbs932]

Either her sister killed their mother or slept with her Chad.

Nope, you're not a sociopath. Congrats

[krazy33]

No they can't.

Yes they can

And they are very good at it. Thats how they are so manipulative

"Psychopathy is a personality disorder characterized by manipulative behavior, a lack of empathy, fear and remorse. However, new psychology research suggests that while psychopathic individuals don't feel these emotions as strongly as others do, they do a better job of pretending than the average person.

Angela Book of Brock University in Canada and a team of researchers conducted three experiments on prison inmates and students to examine the ability of psychopathic individuals to mimic normal human emotions. They discovered "that individuals with psychopathic traits may be able to express fraudulent emotions that appear genuine to the people around them."

Question: What is her motive in killing her sister?

She was worried the guy would like her sister.

[VocelLoser]

You're talking on such macro scale that it conflates two different issues. I'm talking about my brother trying to manipulate people to do things for him or extract some kind of resources for them without providing anything in return. Literally every time he chooses to interact with someone.
