Honestly, I've always been skeptical that "sociopaths" really exist as a psychologically distinct group from, say, run-of-the-mill jerks.
It's easy to find first-person accounts of what it's like to be, say, schizophrenic or delusional or manic-depressive or to have Asperger's, but I've never heard of anyone admitting "I'm a sociopath. Here's what it's like to be me."

But on the Internet it would be safe, assuming you believe this guy.

This was posted several months ago, looks like he's still taking questions.
