How to tell if my brother is a sociopath?


Posts: 10

I was recently assaulted my brother in law over almost nothing and upon talking to my girlfriend about it we decided its possible that he could be a sociopath or a psychopath or whichever term you want to use. I started looking it up online and everything kind of points to him being one i just want to make sure that im not looking to far into it.

Can you provide a little more information on his general behavior?  The post you had given isn't enough for anyone here to give you a prognosis :P

How to tell if my brother is a sociopath?

 Yeah sorry im not used to forums i was just trying to get the conversation going. What had happened was i was at my sisters house on the computer and someone told me to look up the bme pain olympics and i did. Im sure you know what i found and it was not fun but anyway. I watched the video then called dave in to take a look at it because i didnt know stuff like this was on the internet and when he saw what it was he freaked out and threw me on the floor from the computer chair he got on top of me and threatened me for "bringing that in his house" i mean i know he has a kid but that was overreacting. Hes usually a really nice guy and we have never had any problems in the passed so I dont know what came over him.

 First off, does he look like one? Any physical description would be good. sharp teeth and dandruff are clear signs of sociopathy.

 

Second, have you ever seen him swimming? You see sociopaths float, so they are incapable of going underwater. If you need to, you can weigh him on big scales and make sure he weighs the same as something that floats, e.g. a duck. If he does, he is surely a sociopath and the only way to kill it is to find his book of spells and drive a stake through it.

Socio/psychos lack a "moral" voice.  Seeing things such as the pain olympics would definitely not upset a psychopath, although i'm not entirely sure just yet on a socio.

For example: Let's say a man is walking down the street.  He looks to his right, and he sees a bakery.  He breathes in the sweet smell of bread, enjoying the wonderful scent, just like everyone else on the street.  He looks to his left, when suddenly a little four year old crossing the street is hit by a truck.  People start running out into the street, there are cries for help coming from the mother.  The man, just like everyone else, moves towards the girl.  He looks down and notices a few drops of blood on his shoes.  He says "Oh shit".  He looks around.  He looks at the mother.  He looks at the girl.  He knows something important has happened, but he does not register the emotional side of it.

People are vomitting now because the girls legs are twisted in every direction, and blood is seeping through her clothes.  The psychopath simply looks on, possibly becoming even more curious.

This is the psychopath.

 

Keep in mind I'm still learning, and I'm not 100% sure whether or not I fall into the category of sociopaths or if I simply carry some of their traits.

 Oh by no means was I trying to come off as demeaning to you, sir. You are clearly not an idiot, and if anyone knows an idiot when he sees one it is me. clearly getting defensive does not mark any mixed feelings of one's own intelligence.

 We have a winner! Defined a psychopath spot on!!! You should win a Nobel, maybe even a Darwin.
