I had a friend in my college days which I found out was a sociopath. She faked cancer records to be able to reenroll in university after she failed numerous time. She would get people into debt to pay her money claiming she loved them and she would lie basically about everything.
She was charming but when things were starting to get clear, I dumped her as a friend. Later I found out she was having problems with the police. She was a real con artist.
I do have a friend who occasionally asks for money, but she returns it whenever possible. She’d been unemployed for a long while until recently, so I hope the money issue gets solved now that she’s got a job.
I’ve had a terrible miserable life, and I’m sure it’s because of them. The worst ones, accuse me of things they do. Some are vain narcissists, who don’t want people attractive, the others don’t want people with someone they like, but a stalker. And some are insane and make up ridiculous crap, because you went out with a lying con artist 6.5 years ago.
Yes I have and he also had schizophrenia and antisocial and narcissistic personality disorders he broke the law by trying to steal a boat and had many many delusions but he abused my sister physically and sexually he was insane and stupid at the same time
I have met clinical psychopaths. Dare I say, some of the nicest most outstanding individuals I ever met. And thats the point; too good to be true. From when I was on placement in a PD Unit, in my nursing days. When I was in medium-secure, as a patient, psychopaths were not allowed to be with the general mentally ill population so I never met any in that time personally.
I’ve met one who was diagnosed with anti-social personality disorder. I dated someone who showed all the traits, but I’m not a person who can diagnose them.
IDK, long ago one of my roommates had sociopathic tendencies. I saw him daily and we were always friendly but he got a hold of my credit card number and charged some stuff.
Also there were seven of us living there and we shared a refrigerator and someone was stealing other people’s food. Me and another guy thought it was the guy who stole my credit card information. We went down the list of roommates and figured it was this guy through the process of elimination. I confronted him and he turned it around on me and got mad and asked me if I was accusing him of stealing. He seemed so convincing I backed down.
The food kept disappearing and another roommate was positive it was that guy and told him he was going to kick his ass. The guy moved out and stopped coming around. Yeah, that clinched it got me, it was the guy I suspected all along.
If you have to engage with a sociopath, don’t show any emotion and be vague (no specifics). If you can, don’t engage. Walk away without showing emotion. Ignore him.
