A sociopathic personality is also known as antisocial personality disorder. It is characterized by behavior that disregards the rights of others, social norms, and laws.
Individuals with sociopathic behaviors can bring extreme damage, stress, and chaos to your life. Therefore it’s best to know the signs so you can extricate yourself from their presence if at all possible. It’s not always possible.
How to recognize a sociopath
-They are masters at manipulating people.
-They pathologically lie to the point of absurdity. Even when caught in a lie, they will deny it or make up a nonsense story to account for their behavior. If you challenge them on their dishonesty, they will become angry.
-They use their intelligence to harm and deceive people instead of helping them.
-Their behavior is bold, callous, and self-serving. There is no empathy for others. They feel no guilt or remorse about the harm that they cause.
-They may have addictions and engage in illegal behavior.
-There is a tendency towards hostile or aggressive behavior.
– They don’t accept responsibility for their actions so they don’t learn from their mistakes.
-There is little regard for social norms or moral codes.
In spiritual circles it is known that the root of sociopathy is soul fracturing and genetic damage. Abuse and trauma is a cause of soul fracturing.
How to deal with a sociopath
- Maintain your boundaries. If you can avoid interacting with the person, then do so. If not, then keep interactions short and to the point as far as it is possible.
- Don’t try to “help” or change them because they don’t see themselves as having any issues.
- Remain calm when interacting with them as they feed off of negativity and will use it against you somehow. Do not express any weakness to them.
- If you have a sociopathic child, focus on rewards over punishments. Also, build a strong support network.
