I know he cheats on me, I recently found evidence that he picks up hookers and he lies incessantly without remorse about his finances, extra cirricular activities ect. When I confront him he uses my mental status against me to convince me I am imagining things or that I somehow drove him to do the anti-social things he does. He's also totally addicted to porn and lies about it even though I constantly find his deleted cookies. When confronted he becomes verbally threatening towards me. Is he a sociopath? <br /><br />ps: His family enables him like you wouldn't believe. He has them all convinced that anything he does wrong is "my fault".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6999078.post-55913072759323013142011-07-04T10:24:37.138-04:002011-07-04T10:24:37.138-04:00She has obviously hit on 90 percent of the sociopa...She has obviously hit on 90 percent of the sociopath check list.

She is somewhat attractive skipping from one guy to the next. Once she met this New York "DJ" kid she snapped and became infatuated dropping in an absolute manner anything she was responsible for, mainly that being her daughter. I'm not sure (but I'm curious to) what her popularity was in high school as she seems to behave like someone making up for not being as popular as she would have liked as a teen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6999078.post-19435890493163376532011-06-13T07:37:36.288-04:002011-06-13T07:37:36.288-04:00You are correct.

They are two very different things. Psychopathic disorder is similar to Sociopathic Disorder. The terms are often interchangeable although some professionals differentiate. Psychopaths are usually considered those who enjoy inflicting pain and suffering, sociopaths are indifferent to it. Sociopaths won't go out of their way to hurt people unless they will somehow benefit from it.

She probably has mental issues. Could be Sociopathic, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, etc. Some people have a combination of diagnosis.<br /><br />She Chloroformed her own kid, so she could go out partying without any responsibility as an adult or parent. That would be the Narcissistic, lack of normal 'adult' development part. It could be the death was accidental, but the way she covered it up for weeks and lied pathologically repeatedly shows a distinct pathology of her own. She did oddly show some love as a parent, by 'kissing' the protective wrapping found around her child. But it also reveals a lack of remorse or realization of consequences on her part, of what she did.<br /><br />Not sure I would go so far as to claim she's Psychopathic, as that involves an actual break with reality and delusions, voices, etc. She doesn't seem to have those symptoms and lives in the real world. I am guessing more along the lines of Sociopathic and Narcissistic Personality Disorder. She either lies because she has no right or wrong, or actually believes her own lies. Either way is pretty serious. She lives outside the rules of Society-the classic definition of a Sociopath.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6999078.post-51295708000160697462011-06-03T01:02:20.844-04:002011-06-03T01:02:20.844-04:00Casey Anthony is a textbook sociopath. Compulsive ...Casey Anthony is a textbook sociopath. Compulsive and elaborate lying is part of sociopathy. It's pretty simple, actually:<br /><br />Common features of descriptions of the behavior of sociopaths:<br /><br />Glibness and Superficial Charm<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Grandiose Sense of Self - Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Incapacity for Love<br /><br />Need for Stimulation - Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity - Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility - Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story readily. <br /><br />Other Related Qualities:<br /><br />Contemptuous of those who seek to understand them<br />Does not perceive that anything is wrong with them<br />Authoritarian<br />Secretive<br />Paranoid<br />Only rarely in difficulty with the law, but seeks out situations where their tyrannical behavior will be tolerated, condoned, or admired<br />Conventional appearance<br />Goal of enslavement of their victim(s)<br />Exercises despotic control over every aspect of the victim's life<br />Has an emotional need to justify their crimes and therefore needs their victim's affirmation (respect, gratitude and love)<br />Ultimate goal is the creation of a willing victim<br />Incapable of real human attachment to another<br />Unable to feel remorse or guilt<br />Extreme narcissism and grandiose<br />May state readily that their goal is to rule the world <br /><br /><br />(The above traits are based on the psychopathy checklists of H. Cleckley and R. Hare.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
