10 signs for spotting a sociopath #1) Sociopaths are charming. Sociopaths have high charisma and tend to attract a following just because people want to be around them. They have a "glow" about them that attracts people who typically seek guidance or direction.
#2) Sociopaths are more spontaneous and intense than other people. They tend to do bizarre, sometimes erratic things that most regular people wouldn't do. They are unbound by normal social contracts. Their behavior often seems irrational or extremely risky.
#3) Sociopaths are incapable of feeling shame, guilt or remorse. Their brains simply lack the circuitry to process such emotions. This allows them to betray people, threaten people or harm people without giving it a second thought.
#4) Sociopaths invent outrageous lies about their experiences. They wildly exaggerate things to the point of absurdity, but when they describe it to you in a storytelling format, for some reason it sounds believable at the time.
#5) Sociopaths seek to dominate others and "win" at all costs. They hate to lose any argument or fight and will viciously defend their web of lies, even to the point of logical absurdity.
#6) Sociopaths tend to be highly intelligent, but they use their brainpower to deceive others rather than empower them. Their high IQs often makes them dangerous.
#7) Sociopaths are incapable of love and are entirely self-serving. They may feign love or compassion in order to get what they want, but they don't actually FEEL love in the way that you or I do.
#8) Sociopaths speak poetically. They are master wordsmiths, able to deliver a running "stream of consciousness" monologue that is both intriguing and hypnotic. #9) Sociopaths never apologize. They are never wrong. They never feel guilt. They can never apologize.

Except for the highly intelligent part. Bambi is not smart and everything he says reveals how uneducated he is, probably because he simply doesn’t learn very well.
Sociopaths are crafty, however, and sometimes at first glance that seems like intelligence.
It sure does. But he’s also narcissistic.
Great post. Thanks. More background on many of our elected representatives. Enablers/co-conspirators are just as bad.

Actually it IS my former son-in-law (and BHO!)
Who could forget the guy who prowled around his neighborhood in a ninja suit spying on Muslims.
11) They look like a Kennedy
“Sociopaths are incapable of feeling shame, guilt or remorse...”
But they will carry a grudge and attempt to ‘get even’ until the day they die.
Romney should use this in an ad.
For what THEY started, pursued and screwed up in the first place:
He relieves that certain sort of money, quite convincingly. Early on, I tried to intervene, to warn people that they'd never see that $10,000, $20,000, or even more than that, ever again, let alone get the fantastic returns that he very compellingly yet vaguely described, never on paper and never to the point of there being any legal consideration, always just beyond actionable. Under the law, his “investors” just gave him the money. I looked into it.
They believed him then, believe him still and think I'm the bad guy. Some have continued to give him money. He lives very well, two Mercedes-Benz, Italian suits, you name it.
The guy would've knocked the corporate world dead, just brilliant, very persuasive, very personable. But, no, he prefers whatever it is that he's doing.
I've kept in touch out of curiosity, just to see how long it takes for somebody to do him grievous bodily harm, but nothing so far. He'll likely go to his grave with all the hangers on that he's fleeced still believing in him and expecting their windfall.
It's just the most amazing thing. It's as if he hypnotizes them.
Against the victims of the crimes THEY started, pursued and screwed up in the first place:
I agree, look at all the paid losers fainting at the sight of their Sociopath-N-Chief.
He must really LOL at their stupidity in private.
Sounds like Mickey Gubatosi
Sounds a *lot* like my second wife...
You married her too?
True indeed, Livius. When “off teleprompter” he reveals his incredible lack of intellect, in both discerning thought and also in verbal usage.
Someone who was editor of Harvard Law review should NOT be so illiterate. But that combines well with Frank Marshall Davis and cocaine/weed— dumb as a post and quite confident he is NOT.
Very dangerous in the crafty devious department, and also of course, amoral like all good Marxists. The STATE is all.
Well, he does apologize to the world for how Great America is in all the good things!
mitt's a psychopath BTW. Reagan was the last sane, normal man to occupy the WH - despite his creeping senility in the last year - still the best President of my lifetime.
