If it isn't considered a disorder, how do you identify it? That is, how do you know if a person is a sociopath or not?
I also expect this being a spectrum, as many other things. Are there way to recognize the traits of a sociopath?
- galangalalgol 7y agoI am an introvert. It is readily apparent to all, but not a disorder. I am not a psycologist and I don't know more than I have read from non journal sources. But the wiki page lists things like superficial charm, repeated failed relationships, inability to take responsibility for mistakes, diminished affect etc. Again, that i no longer the term preferred. Movies gave the term so much loaded meaning that was inaccurate. They also once had homosexual as a diagnosis and a disorder. Different is only a problem if it is a problem. If suddenly none of us felt sad when we harmed others, I don't think it would turn into mad max.
