Do sociopaths know they are sociopaths?


Posts: 7

I am very moved by M.E.'s post of many years ago on the self-awareness of being a sociopath.  http://www.sociopathworld.com/2009/07/self-awareness.html

I am wondering what the odds are that any highly intelligent sociopath knows that he or she is one.  Thoughts on this?

And I am motivated to ask this question, being an empath, because I am trying to decide whether the sociopath in my professional life should be held accountable in some way for his destructive behavior.  But then again, if he's a sociopath, what does accountability mean?  

call me perplexed...

There should be an IQ requirement to enter this site, I swear.

 I agree.  I don't know how you got in here.

 I'm still interested in the question of how likely it is that a sociopath knows that he or she is one. If this has been fully and finally addressed before, just point me to the thread.  Thanks.

Sociopathy isn't a valid label. So, technically, no-one can know they're a sociopath, but for arguments's sake, let's assume the label exists with AsPD. Getting diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder is one sure way to become self-aware. Other than that, there is enough information online about AsPD, sociopathy, and psychopathy that someone could self-diagnose if they wanted to. Though, I personally wouldn't suggest it.

Accountability doesn't mean jack shit to a sociopath.

 My retardery seems to have influenced you.

 

I was here long before you, yet your post count is over double my post count from this forum and the last one combined. What exactly do you do all day?
