Wow, so there really is NOTHING you can do in regards to a sociopath!

Are you describing modern corporations? I think you are describing modern coroorations...

There aint much worse than armchair thought police.

How is that lovable??

Their have been alien abductions for along time now. They are infiltrating family's . The old divid and concur.

Most of my family operate this way. We do love one another, but we also have a family code of honor based on logic.

You could say most in my family have sociopathic tendencies, but we also have very tight bonds to one another.

Watch Sam Vaknin. The truth shall set you free!

Good point. I'd guess that a lot of people (maybe especially teens) have "thoughts" like that, and most of the time it doesn't really mean a whole lot. However, if he's really a sociopath, he could be a danger to himself or others. Nobody except those in this situation can really figure out what to do.

Sounds like addictive behavior and not all addicts are psychopaths/sociopaths. People's opinions are not real diagnosis.

What the heck did you think was going to happen. This is text book behaviour and your own attitude is also textbook. You're trying to detach this man from his own child so you can feel secure in your own new relationship with him.

Exactly! Give him a good shoeing. I rest my case your honour!

I would not risk the pets.

thanks for this post.

Being coddled and improperly disciplined is neglect. Neglect is a form of abuse.

Convince him to join the military. Sociopaths rise to the TOP there, he will be right at home.

Try researching RAD…Reactive Attachment Disorder. That could help.

Did you ever watch Dexter on Showtime? He was a psychopathic serial killer. His policeman step father gave him a code to live by so he wouldn't get caught. His code only allowed him to kill murderers aka other psychopaths. Perhaps a sociopath could be given similar to live by?

Lot of stuff here on glp about them - lots.
Have read a few good books about them also, autobiographical also that are pretty insightful- a few

They themselves come right out and say they can't change and be normal "empaths" as they refer to us - ever.

All they can do is learn more to simulate empath to "make us more comfortable" being around them.

It is very hard to accept that they are unredeamable.
Still don't want to believe it myself-
but evidence says otherwise.

They seem to go quite a long time, lay low, faking normal
then there it is - some behavior and the response to it by them that makes no sense - none - and the more you question the weirder it gets.

Still want to believe it is the hardening of the heart (romans 1) because of sin, maybe something as simple as jealously, envy in very early childhood at 3-4 years old
instead of genes (nature vs nurture debate)

but regardless of the debate -protect the innocent


Set up walls, high walls, keep distance, stay clear of their manipulation, confusion, lies
think there is very real spiritual breaches made if you don't stay away
seem to have power to cause spiritual blindness, discernment problems if you mingle with the spirits in them

it is very difficult if it is family - but a must

things get clearer the more distance and caution used

Sociopaths are people who simply extrapolate society's behavior to extremes.

why not vote him into office....?? it's where they seem to end up...

1-100 people are psychopaths but that does not mean he will become a psycho killer. Many upper echelon professionals that are predatory could be judged as having no empathy.

Your son just sounds like a modern day teenager to me.
These days 90% of teens are Fd up.

If he starts killing pets just for something to do, B+E, beating up younger kids up, pyromania watch out.

Except kill them.

An 18yr old is still a child. Still in need of love. TO turn your back on him and condemn him is a projection. Take responsibility for your own short comings and do your best to help the child be a good man.

How can you expect to be loved and forgiven if you do not love and forgive. He has a heart. It's not yours to break.

Ever thought some are just born bad? It happens.

NO it doesn't. Only selfish people profess this. No baby is born bad.

I'm not OP! LOL

why is everyone misquoting me?

here are the edited quotes

Some are born with more fire sure. No one is born bad. No one.

Then is is pushing the boundaries of psychopath.

A sociopath know right from wrong but does not care.

A psychopath has not such comprehension and believes the world is here to fulfill his "pleasures".

That's why society used to have strict rules of behavior. So even the young, who used to have all the kids, knew how to raise the kids and had the support of society.

Today's Millenials are useless lumps of GMO HFCS flab ass pierced tatted genital shaved and obsessed smart phone watching assholes. They are no more mature than an eight year old.

according to the psychopaths owns words

they will destroy anyone in their way, get revenge
undermine those who have "them figured out" or
destroy anyone who tries to caution anyone of their danger and manipulation

they will do it all very kindly though

all you can do in manage them from a distance
keep them away, warn people...carefully, very
and you must never let them know you are aware of their evil and manipulation

nothing operates logically when dealing with them
