Hmmm... no... I wouldn't know one if i saw them. I've seen really evil persons. It was way over my head. They were not in my life. I just saw the way they acted. Terrible!

My brother is a sociopath, narcissist, pathological liar, thief, and has said he's full of rage and has nothing to lose. He's also got a conceal and carry permit, several guns, and is an alcoholic. I've tried to talk to our parents about it to no avail, so quietly talked to the chief of police about my concerns. I've been told there's nothing that can be done until he actually hurts someone. I've always wondered why you never see anyone on Dateline saying, "Oh yeah we saw this coming, knew he was going to shoot up the town one day."

I think this definition describes tRUMP to a tee. Bosses or coworkers who will stab a cohort in the back could be examples of a sociopath. I frequently experienced this in the competitive world of sales and marketing personally.

Our government and many large corporations are run by sociopaths. Why do we keep elevating the sick minded?

Narsasist are the same way.

I think our president is a sociopath. You? And I would say most sociopaths are not aware of their condition.

I had a boss who fits the description.

I know a couple of guys that would qualify. As to their awareness of the condition, I never asked.

No joking, most corporate leaders are sociopaths. I can't cite the studies, but I've read it in enough places to believe it... My own experience in the corporate world supports this. One director in particular thoroughly enjoyed getting under my skin and manipulating me. Scary shit; took me a while to process it after squirming my way out of the situation.

Any one of us is capable of virtually ANYTHING given the right circumstances. For example, if I had the opportunity, I would jamb my thumbs into Donald Drumpf's eye sockets and apply pressure until each globe burst and squirted a mix of blood and vitreous humor into my hands. I would then take the sticky mixture and use it to style Drumpf's famous hair into a big Mohawk. I would then laugh and say "no more titties for you to see little man."

Every boss I've ever had.

yes for sure and psychopaths

Yes, our president and every CEO out there.

When I was in the army I had a sadistic Drill Sergeant.This SOB was like a predator who went out of his way to harass the weaker guys even when they tried their hardest .He knew the type he could dominate and terrorized them to no end. It was known around the base that he got a kick out of relaying his antics to other Drill Sergeants .Also this low life would go out in the fields behind the base and shoot woodchucks for fun.

I've met more than my fair share , thank you !!!

I have been working in the programming area for 18 years and a very big percentage of the VP's to C*O's of the companies I have worked for or that the company I was working at was doing work for them was filled with them.

Pretty sure I was married to one.

In the latter years of my career, I had a business designing and building custom wooden yachts. I'd estimate that a little over a third of my clients were ranging between borderline to extreme sociopath. A couple of them were actually a bit frightening and I always felt happy when they would leave. The other side of that coin were the dreamers who came in, innocent as the proverbial lamb. They were a lot of fun to have around.

Our current socio-in-chief perhaps
