R12 Wow. That actually happened to me. My employee missed crucial deadlines and blamed me for not nagging or reminding her. She then tried to get me fired by accusing me of being abusive and setting her up to fail. She was out 3 months for FMLA leave then upon her return asked when she'd be eligible again for her next FMLA leave. Long painful story short, I fired her for severe performance deficiencies. I was amazed that 4 on the later she has a new job after lying about her job title and responsibilities when she reported to me. I can only guess that she's been running this con for her entire professional career. Good riddance!

I grew up with a sibling who was diagnosed APD (antisocial personality disorder). It came down to 3 things: constant deceit in all matters, vicious smear campaigns of anyone who he figured out was onto him, and gaslighting. Gaslighting is the purposeful denial or spinning of events that really did happen in a way that tends to make victims doubt their own sanity.

Going through every triggering event in your life to get a rise out of you when they've been proven wrong. This is so they don't have to feel bad while you feel like shit. I had an ex' do this and it seemed as though he'd kept a mental list of everything that had upset me. He was gone after that shit, but I'd given him far too many chances to get out of it without damage. I'm still paying for it in a lot of subtle and sad ways. Trusting people will never be the same.

Be super friendly to the point where you form an emotional connection with them quicker than usual. You'll reveal information to them because they've revealed things (which usually turn out to be false) to you so they know your insecurities and strengths.
They will 'test' your relationship constantly, and exhaust you emotionally to the point that you are putty in their hands. And they've separated you from your friends and family.
Ingratiate themselves with your friends and family and create contact without telling you. So that they can successfully have them believe the lies they tell about you.
Similar to what's been said already, out of the blue they will accuse you of lying or stealing something from them, then they'll 'forgive' you and you'll feel grateful...because now no one wants to speak to you for some reason...
Never get drunk with a sociopath a second time. Once you're inebriated, they will either steal from you, sexually assault you or take advantage in some other way.
They only understand fear, the threat of violence or actual violence. They're usually not very intelligent, and have a sort of low cunning.
You can fight back by never taking any substances with them. Being absolutely certain about what has happened by either secretly recording what's been said or writing down the exact words used straight after. It might sound obsessive, but by the time you realise you're in danger, they would have already wormed their way into your life, that it's difficult to separate their needs and priorities from your own.
They must be deconstructed, identify their methods, find out exactly what they have said about you to other people and win the war by attrition record and regurgitating the information to fight against their lies and deception.
There are several legal and illegal ways you can scare them, because fundamentally they are cowards with no personality of their own, they will back down. You can put fish in their upholstery and claim you dont smell it, have someone call them constantly and hang up, order cockroaches online and leave several packages in several rooms. Report them to the police for whatever reason.
If they're a real cunt, just get some barbecue lighting fluid and...well you get the idea.
They're scum and will ruin your life if you don't nip it I the bud. The good thing is, once you've met your first and recognised it and survived more importantly. The ones you meet at work and in your personal life will be easy to handle avoid and/or deflect.

Clinical Sociopaths do not possess the ability for distinguishing 'right' from 'wrong' - They actually lack a conscious. Therefore, they can never be rehabilitated; e.g., understand and feel remorse for their persistent, damaging anti-social behaviors; hence the easily repeated social transgressions.
More often, than not, their personalities are charming and engaging.

There are so many fucked up personality syndromes to choose from - it all gets a little bewildering.
I read Jon Ronson’s The Psychoath Test a few years ago - and it was like a revelation. Really recommend it. It’s funny and he has considerable wit - but it really clues you in on the psychoath personality. I only wish I’d read it years before, as it would have saved a lot of time, energy and heartache if I’d known then what I know now. I’ve given copies to many friends since reading it - just gave one to friend’s son (along with a swag of other books) as a graduation present from high school. He’s very smart - but very trusting! - and hope if he reads it he might not get sucked in by any psychopaths that’ll inevitably cross his path...
The main problem is - after reading it - you tend to over-diagnose and start seeing them everywhere. And while it’s true that many people may have traits or do the odd things that a psychoath may do - it doesn’t necessarily make them a psychopath. Like I said - there’s plenty of other personality disorder syndromes out there - or just different personality types. So you just have to stop playing amateur psychologist and get on with life and relationships - but use what you know and what your own gut tells you - about whether or not it’s worth spending time with someone - or if you need to be wary.
There are - I think! - more people with narcissistic personally disorder out there - and they can be just as difficult. Recently I was reading about HPD - histrionic personality disorder - and bingo! - another chunk of humanity is now classified and explained in my mental map of odd behaviours of people I’ve encountered over the years...
HPD is really interesting actually - I think it’s well represented among the denizens if Datalounge! - and very prevalent among some of the people who’ve embraced social media and post every detail of their lives across the various platforms... part of me hanks I s nice they now have an outlet for all their shit - but also gotta wonder if giving them a platform just unleashes stuff that was probably best left with a lid on it...?

I just came out of a store and walked to my car in a fairly empty parking lot. And there was a giant SUV parked next to me but facing the opposite direction. CRAMMED next to me actually so much so that I had to go to the other side of the car to put my packages in (it was impossible on the drivers side).
The motor was running and this bitch inside was playing with her phone and had absolutely no concern for anything happening outside her window. She could've even moved forward into a connected space and made it easier for everyone to get in and out but of course that wasn't going to happen.
THAT to me feels like a sociopath. Absolutely no concern -- hell, not even concern, no sense that anyone else in the world even exists (unless he or she needs something and then people exist to serve them). It's also why I don't have a gun, in my car nor my home, because I think on the wrong day, I could've gladly shot that woman through the head in a crime of passion -- more for what she represented than for what she actually did.

There’s a YA (young adult) novel that’s relatively recent - My Sister Rosa - by Justine Larbalestier. I really liked it. It’s about a teenage boy, who has this ten year old sister - who is a psychopath. She’s gorgeous and charming though. Only he seems to get it. The Tagline for the book is “she hasn’t killed anyone...yet” (or words to that effect). It’s great! A modern take on The Bad Seed. Lots of stuff about psychopathy explained as the plot unfolds.

Something that catches my notice and makes me think "sociopath" is when I observe a person with different people, and with each person they're totally different, mirroring the person they're with. They know how to say and be exactly what the person they're with wants, and they do it to gather info about what that person has to offer them, and to learn that person's weaknesses. Then they play with each person, manipulating to get what they want or just for kicks.
To be able to observe the really smart ones, you have to be careful and adopt a Grey Rock persona around them, so they don't really notice you or find anything about you they can use or toy with. I've seen them go into extended friend groups or families, and wreak havoc. And still there will always be the naive who LOVE them.

These people start a war of annihilation with you, they won't stop, and if you don't realise it, there will be nothing left of you. You might not use it, but knowing it's there and you have the preperation for using it, gives you the confidence to win the war for self preservation, which makes it less likely you'll need any sort of revenge.
The interesting thing about these people is sometimes they do things that are so incredible, that go against your every instinct and either get you to go along with it or get you to do something against your nature that it shocks you into submission. It can happen to most people, because most people are trusting and are actually nice, and especially worse if they have some sort of authority over you

Part of what makes people susceptible to sociopaths is that the things that sociopaths do isn't even something that their victims and potential victims would entertain, which is a cardinal mistake.
They are relatively rare, but the damage the cause is immeasurable. Yes you can account the financial cost, but how do you account for all the other costs?
Most people, I would surmise, don't think of these things, because if they imagine it they would feel as though they would go out and do it the next day. This is a false belief. But everybody I think has had those thoughts that they wouldn't dare repeat for the fact that people would think of them as a monster. But it is often a natural reaction to an unpleasant emotion that could threaten you.
The fundamental human instinct is self preservation, for a variety of reasons. One coping mechanism isn't necessarily better than the other, but different things work for different people, I didn't seek to dispense advice to action on an objective basis. But as I said, when you can no longer define what your priorities are and what your real beliefs about yourself are it becomes difficult to act rational, therefore the default has to be the instinct of self preservation. Sociopaths or uNiue only in composition not in their function.
And no, I don't enjoy messing with people, but sometimes there are experiences which you can be grateful for, because they help prepare you for future challenges. And that, I think is my main point.
[R90] I'm really not worth any pause or a rewind even. And on to me? OK sweetheart you go ahead...I think you'll find I'm pretty consistent. But, have it it nonetheless!
Oh and in terms of personality disorder [R82]...I think it would be more fun if you told me what your diagnosis was I think it would really enrich my posts, then maybe I could be a troll. Extra points if you assign me a topic to be obsessed with. I want full on character assassination. Nothing less.

R97, if you're Poo Shoes, your diagnosis is histrionic personality disorder. And I think there's a touch of sociopathy in there, too.

Why not just avoid all these "sociopaths" you seem to run into throughout your life? Why do you anticipate "future challenges" rather than just move on if someone treats you in a way you don't want to be treated? Sounds like you label people a lot, and you imagine difficult people, or people you don't get along with are sociopaths. You want people to be worse than what they are so that you can feel righteous and then justify being vindictive, the part you relish.

R92 and r93, actual sociopaths are not that common. I've only encountered one person that actually is one and he was extremely withdrawn and distant, and seemed empty and he wound up killing someone over drugs or money owed for drugs.
I also have met someone who possibly is either a sociopath or has severe schizoaffective disorder and they were extremely charming and manipulative. R94 I know more than a few women who are extreme narcissists, as in they were diagnosed with NPD and I have basically nothing to do with them.

Poo Shoes is really enjoying talking to herself in this thread. Does she think she's sympathetic? A victim? She's fixated on the (probably) one and only man she had in her life, and she's whining to us about the way he treated her. She's obviously read books to encourage her victimization and is using us to whine about what this ex-boyfriend did to her. Is that what DL is here for?
Here's my tip for you, Poo: indifference is the opposite of love. Your hatred for this guy is only keeping you tied to him. MOVE ON with your life, and stop obsessing.

They insist on using their real name on a website (even though everyone else posts anonymously), which is actually a fake name.
They pretend to have no political affiliation when, in fact, they are a staunch supporter of a particular politician.
They pose as a gay man to be accepted on the website, and then make up stories about a sister, a nephew, or a neighbor in order to give their own opinion throughout the thread about the subject itself.
They're starved for attention, and use a website where they can post anonymously to receive attention.
They make it a point to talk about their honesty and integrity.
They believe in chem trails.

[quote]Sociopath Tricks of the Trade
She writes long-winded stories about a moment in her life that most adults would simply deal with and not dream of discussing on a message board, e.g., getting feces on their shoes in a hotel restroom, and she then asks hundreds of strangers to share her indignity and opinion that she,, of course, handled everything with aplomb while the deplorable employees were inept and worthy of so much contempt.
Being handed her ass by hundreds of strangers is not the support this type of sociopath is looking for. Unfortunately for her, this is the reaction she usually gets from other people. The sociopath has a difficult time understanding that 99.5% of the population doesn't think like she thinks, and she is often taken aback that others don't see her importance as intensely as she herself does.

My brother in law is 7 years older than my sister and he’ll leave her with nothing but bills when he dies. It’s only their son that keeps me from condemning him to them. A son has to, or does, idolize his Dad, when possible, and I don’t want to disturb that. He’s a deplorable, and an opinionated one (is there an other kind?), so it’s hard to hold off.

They go on Datalounge and study the posts and replies like the Talmud, giving people nicknames, analyzing their enemies' posts back beyond the millennium; they block people and then analyze which and how many posts disappear on various threads, and then crow about how obsessive their enemy who they've blocked is, that so many posts have disappeared. They know all the Datalounge jargon, and jump to be the first to use them first in a thread, like the hilarious "Kill it ! Kill it with fire !" (never gets old) Call every poster they disagree with a "troll," and imagine which trolls they've conjured are producing the posts/replies they don't like.......Oh wait, that's not sociopaths per se, that's just DL pathetic lifers.

Poo Shoes seems like a Jodi Arias type of person. Always feeling slighted, reading into every word someone says to her and finding hidden negative meanings, never at fault herself... just an innocent damsel, and finally ends up enraged and vindictive.

Poo Shoes from another thread today:
[quote]You sound like very good people. Wish there were more like you in this world. Sad that our culture generally sees bullying as acceptable. Why are victims always blamed? Clearly that boy needs a strong father figure. Would it be too much to ask for you please to assist me with the DL bully who won't stop creating threads to spread lies about me, as well as repeatedly re-posting years old pics? He hasn't stop his pattern of impersonating me on DL and all over the internet. Friends who've seen the posts under my name are very concerned for my safety. Regretfully Vegas Police were negligent in not advising me to get a restraining order against him when he originally started attempting to steal my identity (getting a copy of my birth certificate to try and get a home loan for his trailer) despite their records of his extreme violence towards women. Yes he's been incarcerated for it too.
