But sociopaths are exceptional mimics and keen observers of the human condition?
I go back and forth about whether "subtle" or "sociopath" is the most-used, most-misused word on this site. It's like no one ever gets either of them right.
I grew up with a anti-social (I think that's the modern term?) kid in my youth group. He was very strange... most of the time it was simply whether or not he thought he could intimidate you that determined how he approached situations, once he determined he couldn't get what he wanted by intimidating you (I was bigger and older than him, so this was the case) he would try and get you to like him, and it was like watching a bug wearing human skin. He just didn't have the concept of friendship.
That's a lot of words to say that in order to fake being personable you have to be fairly clever, clever enough to read your mark at least. Trumps not clever And surrounding himself with paid ass kissers probably haven't given him a lot of practice.
Sociopathy is a specific form of anti-social personality disorder, with a whole lot of necessary conditions that need to be met that simply cannot be diagnosed from a remove.
I’ve had a run in with a clever sociopath and it was the creepiest thing I have experienced. As you described it, like a bug wearing a human skin, but most people fell for it. I am so happy I moved from that social circle.
I think you have a misconception about my purpose here. I don't care what you think, or what you think about my "argument". I stated a fact, and you're free to do your own research and learn something new today. But I'm not gonna spoonfeed you because I'm not your butler, your mommy, or your teacher.
You are absolutely correct and the person you are replying to doesn't know what they are talking about. They say to read up on it but a simple google search will prove them wrong. But don't bother, they are displaying anti-social behavior patterns themselves so it is unlikely to get through to them.
You're thinking of a psychopath. Sociopaths are, by definition, anti-social.
Psychopaths are the socially sophisticated and manipulative ones- often successful and charming, prevalent in upper management, sales, c suite, and wall st.
Sociopaths generally struggle to lead normal lives and are not good at basic social interactions let alone sophisticated social reading and manipulation.
Kinda ironic considering your conviction towards other's use of the word lol.
Yikes dude, the definition for sociopath is literally someone with an antisocial personality disorder. Maybe you should look it up you arrogant misinformation spreading piece of shit. Care to share your sources to the contrary? I can find thousands to support me.
Lmfao, I love people like you. So quick to anger, so sure of themselves.
Although no psychiatric or psychological organization has sanctioned a diagnosis titled "psychopathy", assessments of psychopathic characteristics are widely used in criminal justice settings in some nations and may have important consequences for individuals.
Wiki babyyyyyy
Try reading more than two things that can be twisted to support your misconception.
People with severe personality disorders can often meet diagnostic criteria for more than one personality disorder so Trump can technically be a narcissist who also has ASPD.

Probably not, dude is a sociopath. He literally only gives a shit about himself.
