Could you be a Sociopath ? A lot of Arseholes in your Life could very well be
One of my best friends and room mates from College was in town recently. He is a Medical Doctor/Psychiatrist.
Since we were teenagers we have always had extremely interesting conversations that can go on for hours and hours on end.
One of the topics we talk about and have for many years now is about hardened criminals and the mind set of many of them.
He always tells me that less than 1% of the violent and brutal crimes in Society are committed by people with Mental illness.
The other 99% of the people can be pinpointed as being real sociopaths/psychopaths .
It is kind of funny in a dark way but he says that in his medical opinion these individuals should be simply shot and done away with. They are bad seeds and evil. (Yeah believe it or not a psychariatrist saying this LOL)
And that there is absolutely no cure for a Sociopath.
As a doctor he has done much study on it and said that certain parts of the brain in some people are totally underdeveloped or malformed where important thought patterns are formed.
The major emotion that these people lack in these hot spots of the brain are Empathy.
As a result because of this structurally screwed up brain, the Sociopath cannot help from being extremely deceitful and manipulating people to get what they want at all cost. They have this grandiose image of themselves and that they deserve everything and will not stop at getting it until they ruin other people's Life.
What really kind of was an 'aha aha' moment when I talked to him was when he said that I probably have run into a number of real Sociopaths in my Life and just chalked it up as these people being huge A-holes !! More likely not serial killer type sociopaths but very evil and extremely destructive.
So last night I was thinking about this notion and over the years I was thinking about all the experiences I had with different people. And there were a few that were just totally right on bulls eye as being true sociopaths.
I think people throw around that term ' oh he is just a psychopath' as a casual type comment to show dissatisfaction with another person's behavior.
But in all reality many of you , whether it be in business or just everyday life, could have actually been dealing with a true psychopath/sociopath !
Something to think about.
