Tired of sociopaths, anyone else?

They're everywhere and they are in control.

based on information in the link, what sociopathes have you spotted?

Nancy Grace. She showed no remorse for grilling Melinda Duckett who had a missing kidnapped son and she killed herself the next day. Nancy proceeded to take the side of the father of the child, Melinda's ex and he too appeared to be a sociopath. Nancy Grace instead blamed Melinda and did so in a very sociopathic manner. I can just look at her face and see sociopath. They all seem to have similarities.

Nancy Grace- (sociopath...has she changed since giving birth?)

Josh Duckett (ex of Melinda Duckett and father of missing child and sociopath)

Melinda Duckett- (non sociopath)

O.J Simpson. Flat out sociopath. Now there is a new controversy revolving around his girlfriend Christie Prody who is in ICU for "slipping and falling at a gas station" according to OJ. She might undergo brain surgery. Not buying it but these sociopathes can get away with it.

Ted Bundy. Dead now but he had a following because he was just so darn charming...aww shucks. He would have gotten away with being a serial killer if he had hired a lawyer instead of asking a cop on the stand to relive his experience finding the victim's dead body and the jury stared in shock as they could tell Ted was getting pleasure. What does Ted and OJ have in common? They both smirked and smiled alot in court.

Sociopaths are everywhere. 1 out of 100 people are sociopaths--men more frequently than women.

Once you come across one of these individuals, you will never be the same. Their capacity to not care and not empathize is stunning. They care about nobody but themselves. Once you see the signs, get away fast. The one thing they can't do is keep themselves concealed for all that long.

The signs:

Diagnostic criteria

In addition to the above, three or more of the following is required:[1]

1. Failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest.
2. Deceitfulness, as indicated by repeatedly lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure
3. Impulsivity or failure to plan ahead
4. Irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults
5. Reckless disregard for safety of self or others
6. Consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honour financial obligations
7. Lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another.

The main warning that I'll give you, having dealt with one personally, is that they (in the beginning) can cover themselves quite well. They are charming and will say whatever they think you want to hear. They will also destroy you and are usually not stupid people.

Reptilian sociopaths.

I've seen a few in person. It was freaky! They are able to adjust their faces to make themselves look different. Usually these types have a very high IQ and have spent a long time working on deception and can pick up instantly on profile of an individual and how to instantly act and charm the person into speaking to them and opening up about their lives and eventually manipulate to get whatever they want if the person sticks around.

I did not stick around. I've seen milder cases of sociopaths and was able to pick up the same traits.

If you are shy in nature, the reptialian sociopath will approach you with a shy demeanor. The person's posture is that of a shy person, the person's face etc...

If you are an outgoing person, the person will put on a smile, stand up straight and pretty much be what you are.

As you get to talking to the person in a comfortable setting, you will see their personality and face change flickering on and off. That is when it gets freaky.

There may be admittance to wanting alot of power, money etc..

The first signs though are when their faces seem to morph before your eyes. their goal is to pretend to be like you and if they find themselves confused about what that is, they will go through changes before your very eyes. If you have an easy to figure out code, it will be more subtle.

These types of people are a rare breed of sociopath but very dangerous. They are very smart and have stalker tendencies. They don't feel anything they do can be wrong.

Sounds like a concise description of Bill ( Bubba ) Clinton ( and several others ) to me.

Sociopaths are drawn to politics and government "service" like moths to a light.

Sadly, I see some sociopathic tendencies in myself. I fight against them, but the tendencies are there. Maybe the difference is that sociopaths don't fight those tendencies?

Sociopaths don't generally find fault with themselves so it's highly unlikely that you are a full blown sociopath.

That difference is very, very significant. Keep fighting against it, sociopaths are incredibly destructive to other people, especially other good people.
