Hi,

I'm an Aspie, and curious about how sociopaths work. Basically I just registered on this forum to ask a question, and it's this one: How do sociopaths tell other socios apart from ordinary people?

I've read some of you call neurotypicals "zombie people", and it would be interesting to hear more about that too.

Some say socios just "look different". But different how? Obviously, I'd like to be able to tell socios apart from others somehow, for understandable reasons and all, but I'm not sure it's possible for me. So how does it work for you?

"How do sociopaths tell other socios apart from ordinary people?"

What makes you think that they do?

 

That's just something I've read they're able to do. So are you a socio and just messing with me, or what?

"So are you a socio and just messing with me, or what?"

What do you believe to be the case?

I'm not sure guessing at it matters, except possibly with regard to your amusement. Either you are one and messing with me, or you're not, and just being counter-productive. Either way, what you're doing is kind of sad.

 

Is someone willing to actually have a discussion on this? I realize you don't really have a reason to tell me, but on the other hand you don't really have a reason not to, either.

Well that's obvious, isn't it? Look at the title.

Fine, the conclusion I was digging for:

Any answer you get here likely isn't really going to tell you anything. At best someone might say something close enough to what you already believe and you'll take that in as a valid point if it's well written enough.

You can try looking at DSM-like symptoms, but it's not like every person within the "socio" category is identical.

How do you figure we'd know any more than you? Seniority?

 

Still trying, huh? Can you guess whether I'll respond to you again?

Do you feel like you're a big red target for socios? Why do you want to know?

I can tell but I'm not a socio, I'm a "uber empath", for me it's easier to feel other people's emotions and to detect subtle changes in facial expressions and behaviors, which might be harder for you being an Aspie. Look at this video clip of David Bowie who I think portrays the traits:
