Because You Know At Least One: Identifying the Sociopath (VIDEOS)

No man is an island.

Although, some men think and behave as if they are.

If The Shoe Fits

This brings us to the term sociopath.

The word sociopath has been thrown around a lot since our president-elect Donald Trump first started his campaign.

As they say… if the shoe fits.

Most balanced people understand that an individual’s consciousness can not and does not expand in isolation.

The balanced minded person understand that their inner environment will affect their outer environment, as well as those around them.

No Man is an Ideological Island

Men and women tend to have vastly different thinking processes and it shows up as distinctly different behavior.

We also have vastly different bodies and physiologies which means we experience the world in distinctly different ways; As the world sees us and treats us in significantly different ways.

I wanted to point out some of the traits a sociopath demonstrates so we are able to recognize one when we meet one.

There are female sociopaths, but they exhibit different characteristics.

However, I will go into the female sociopathic psychology in another article. Find it here…

Signs That Indicate You Could be Talking to a Sociopath

As we count down toward an assuredly tumultuous inauguration day on January 20/2016, I ask that the men reading this become more aware of sociopathic behavior.

Once you learn just a little about how sociopaths work, you start to see where they’ve popped up in your life.

That weird guy at the office. The jerk that taught your high school science class. The creepy guy at your corner deli.

I also believe that, being human, all of us have almost certainly have exhibited at least some of these behaviors at some time in our lives no matter how fleeting they were.

You may recognize them as stress responses. The sociopath is, in many ways constantly under psychological stress.

So, consequently he lives out these stress responses as personality traits.

In no particular order, here are some signs that indicate you could be talking to a sociopath:

Surface Charm
Lots of Glibness/Sarcasm
Extreme Egoism
Loads of Grandiosity
Tremendous Thrill Seeker
Compulsive Lying
Inability to Feel Guilt
No Sense of Responsibility
Very Shallow Emotional Ability
Immaturity
No Empathy or Compassion
Explosive and Unpredictable Anger
Excessive Casual Sexual Encounters/Promiscuity
Tends to Develop Sociopathic Signs Early in Life/in Teens
Loves to Play Mind Games/Gas Lighting
A Certain Level of Sadism

That’s a lot to take in.

You can see how there is a good chance you have been dealing with sociopaths since your teenage years.

You may even recognize some of these traits in yourself. I know I do.

Make The Leap

A culture’s celebrities reflect who they.

For example, many of our famous politicians and entertainers have some type of psychopathy that involves narcissism or sociopathy or some of both.

This type of behavior and thinking evolves in human beings – not because they’ve had too many boundaries and limitations put on them, but because they haven’t.

Very often it’s the spoiled child, the one treated like a prince or princess, who’s parent were afraid of saying no to them that develops sociopathic or narcissistic traits.

That’s Why We NEED You Gentlemen…

To be beacons of true masculinity. The kind that is strong and disciplined and unmovable in your leadership.

It’s the kind of masculinity that thrives on challenge without having to be liked and approved of or announce your accomplishments to the world.

It’s the kind of masculinity that strands strong with singular focus and without bluster. We NEED the kind of masculinity that is not reactive, but measured in response.
