Sociopath: Symptoms of a Sociopath

Amanda Somberg - Avoiding Narcissists & Sociopaths

I try not to use the word/term sociopath (although most narcissists walk a fine line between the two) because I feel that a classification like that should be reserved for psychologists and psychiatrists after a period of time in which to analyze the person. I feel that way because sociopathy is in fact so much more serious. They are similiarities though, but what i have noticed is that the behavior and traits intertwine between the two, narcissists tend to fly under the radar, and do not ever directly engage in any criminal behavior and are less obvious - but at times also more intelligent than sociopaths and better at maintaining the charade that is their lives. Both are dangerous and should be avoided.

That guy doesn't seem narcissistic though.. honestly we don't even know if he's a bad guy. Maybe we could say he is annoyed by the OP and is simply trying to get her to go away but she doesn't get the picture.

If he doesn't make you feel good about yourself from the beginning, what's the point of pursuing him? Isn't the beginning of a relationship supposed to be the "honeymoon" period? Honestly, where is the relationship going to go? Certainly not up, IMHO. If it isn't good in the beginning, I don't think it ever will be.

I agree he obviously did not want me but this dude texted me and told me to come over. Months ago when he told me he wasnt sure about us he stopped talking to me and then a month later decides he wants to again. So if he wanted to get rid of me he should have. He was playing games.

And I asked did he want me to call him before I came to wake him up thats why I keep calling....
and I WAS crazy about him. So I thought something was wrong with me and thought why didnt he like me.

How does him changing a picture hurt you after you said you didn't want to talk to him?
There were 2 different times he stood me up well more than that but 2 that I mentioned. The first he said he was sorry he feel asleep and I could come over. I said no I dont want to talk to you. Then we slowly started contacting each other again. This week he blew me off has yet to say anything. The message I sent him on facebook was saying It was really ****ed up of him doing that and unfriended hum. I had no intention of ever talking to him agian. I went to delete all our private messages a few hours later when I noticed he changed his picture. So i feel he made it a point to put some girls photo for whatever reason to make me jealous or send some type of message.

Okay that was alot to answer took forever. I am moving on ready to forget about him just had to vent.

You're right. Sociopath, narcissist, and stalker are the catch-all terms used for rotten relationships that aren't going anywhere.

Set some personal relationship boundaries and learn to identify red flags.

Just "catch-all terms" until you have actually had experience dealing with one and dealth with the life changing consequences to your life.

Seatbelts and airbags are just catch-all devices used to make people think they are safer, until another car slams into yours going 50mph.
