Who knows you're a sociopath?

ruin people...how would you go about that? are these people in important positions?

so, once you identify yourself as a sociopath, other 'sociopaths' confide in you?

Who knows you're a sociopath?

I think it's a bad idea to let many people know. I've only told one person that I am. and that was because she's one too, or something very close to one. It's nice to have a sociopathic friend, because you can muse about how stupid others are. it also helps the two of us control our violent urges. we usually talk about them and act some of them out, without badly hurting eachother. we both love blood, also, so we occasionally bring out the knives. its kind of like platonic S&M.

a few others i spend alot of time with suspect it, too. but luckily, (from my experience) empaths tend to be idiots and all i need to do is shower them with gifts and smiles and the thought goes away.

Who knows you're a sociopath?

I've only clearly told the internet what I am.

More than a few people I know have speculated, though. I had a friend that recently told me I seemed like "an alien sent to observe and learn about humans." Someone else said that I seem like I could secretly be a serial killer. There's just always been a pattern of people commenting on my inhuman-ness. 

My last girlfriend actually got it spot-on, though I never admitted to it. She said she often wondered if I was a sociopath.

I am not as good at hiding it as I'd like to think....

My daughter suspects I am a sociopath, but I haven't told her I am one. I've never told anyone I am one, nor would I care to. I don't see any benefit in telling them.

My family just think I'm a narcissist.

Who knows you're a sociopath?

I've straight up told people... often laughing it off afterward, sometimes lingering to make them feel uncomfortable... usually just to get a rise out of people and check for reactions. Most people are too stupid to understand the real implications of such a thing, or what it really even means. A few very close people know what I am, some even admire it about me... others are wary because of it... and others just laugh it off.

In the end it doesn't really matter what you are. Who you are doesn't suddenly change because of a label. Who you are is engrained in your past actions and history. Unless you're gay, then you're just a dirty faggot... But being a sociopath is totally cool with most people... as long as they don't think you'll murder them.

Whats up JaneDoe :)

I have never  said anything to peers , but I have said things to my Mother when I was growing up like, I think I need to find different people to be around I am different than my friends. And when I was older and I researched, it was more like Mom I think I am sociopathic. And she knew. But people ask me from time to time "DONT YOU EVEN FUCKING CARE?!"

I do not see a reason why it would be beneficial. I can call other people stupid with my friends even without outing myself as a psychopath (Cvisscher's post).

I have been called a psychopath, a sadist, unemotional, et cetera, but it was never too serious, though.

There are a few people who know that I'm a sociopath or psychopath in real life, but those people know wrong.

I'm still not exactly sure if I qualify as a psychopath or not, but I've told some people.  Most of the time there's no point in telling anyone, but I've been glad that I did it before.  It's nice that my sister knows, because now I never have to censor anything I say around her.  And a large part of why I tell some people, is to use it as a test.  Generally on people that I'm starting to get to know and be on friendly terms with.  I use their reaction to help me judge whether or not I'm wasting my time.
