Just bought tonight a copy of “the sociopath next door” (sic) at the Barnes/Noble bargain bin at their entrance display. The author, Martha Stout, opines that “1 out of 25 Americans is sociopathic”.

Martha Stout's book is a very important work for understanding a very difficult part of life. It is strong medicine but you cannot understand some people without dealing with the information in Matha's book.

You did the right thing to buy it. Keep on. It is very valuable.

The girl above appears to have classic FAS, fetal alcohol syndrome, features. FAS can also result in a diminished conscience and awareness of consequences.

Just bookmarked the book on Amazon for later. On the review, it gave samples of types of sociopaths and mentioned
“pity play”. Do you know what Pity Play is? Only curious because I live with someone that is always looking for pity, nothing is ever her fault, she is perfect and everyone else is ALWAYS wrong. Am I living with a sociopath... I’ve called her a lot of other names, tho, that sociopath, hasn’t come up yet.
