What are some things that lead to sociopathy? I remember I always wasn't like this, actually, I used to be the happiest kid in school, even when I was a sociopath I didn't realize I was one, but now that I go back in my past I see what a cruel person I truly was. So, my question stands; if a person wants to be a sociopath, what should he do?
eat mashed up wasabi and garlic with a glass of lemon and onion juice every day for two years and cook pre-cooked meats. also wear your thongs backwards.
but to be slightly relevant, i really dont think you can make yourself sociopatnic. you can try to concentrate on your sociopathic traits all you want, if you have any, but it isnt going to change your nature, and everyone who knew you from before you started trying to be a sociopath would just think youre trying to be a dick.
also anyone young enough to actually be sculpted in a way to bring about the change probably wouldnt understand it enough to want it to happen (assuming that this type of change occurs early in brain development)
I think you would have to sustain some rather severe and precise brain damage. Please do not think I'm being facetious, this is what much of the research indicates.
Cruelty is an indication of being a human being and nothing more, I'm afraid. You may be a sadist, but that is a different thing, although they are often confused.

Well, first, you need to get yourself reincarnated into a family that already has a history of Cluster B personality disorders. I'm not sure who you need to contact about that in order to have it arranged, but when you find out, let them know that you'd prefer a family from a low socioeconomic background and that one or both of the parents should be abusive and a regular drug or alcohol abuser.
Once you've been reincarnated into the aforementioned family, start early. If you're a boy you'll have to display antisocial tendencies all your life in order to obtain that elusive diagnosis: if you're a girl you can feel free to wait until puberty before you start drawing attention to your need to have yourself diagnosed with a Conduct Disorder.
Move from petty crimes to more serious crimes as you approach your eighteenth birthday: you're more likely to reach your goal if you've been incarcerated than not. Outside, they're more likely to diagnose you with Borderline Personality Disorder.
Good luck, and have fun!
