Ever since I read M.E. Thomas's book, I have been interested in sociopaths. I never realised that such nasty people could actually exist. Don't get me wrong, I already knew there is seedy people in every place, but I never knew that some are so bad that there was an actual scientific name for them!

It's the sociopaths's nature to act like that. It's just the way they are. Check your privilege.

 

 

I found this site called WikiHow that has many instructionals about how to spot and defeat a sociopath. The general gist seems to be that you have to identify the bad things they do to you, not challenge their sense of control, and constantly remind them that you know what they are doing.

That's solid advice, but it falls short of just how far you have to go. Yes, you have to identify with a sociopath and you do that by playing their game. Get a feel for them. How they think, how they react, etc. Once you've got them totally figured out, and I can't stress this enough, BEAT THEM AT THEIR OWN GAME. When they do something bad to you, do something worse to them.

 

Did they steal your lunch? Call their girlfriend and tell them that you're his gay lover and you want to talk to her about how the 3 of you should swing together. Did they lie to your boss about you? Plant heroin in their car and call the cops on them.

 

Escalate, escalate, escalate. You should always be thinking to yourself, "How can I take things farther?"

 

 

 

 

I heard that the last step is to "break" the sociopath, you know, like rubbing a puppies nose in his own piss when he pisses on the rug so he finally realises that he is not intelligent enough to abuse you, then totally block the sociopath from your life forever.

WikiHow was really vague about how to break a sociopath. How do you think an average joe shmoe could do that?

Once you've beaten them at their own game, it's time for you to deliver the deathblow so that the sociopath knows that you have won and they have lost. Forever. The way to do this is to get all mutual friends and acquaintances together and then SHAME THE SOCIOPATH IN FRONT OF THEM so that everyone knows. Deep down inside in their subconscience, all sociopaths know that something is horribly wrong with them. They want to be normal, but lack the willpower to make the changes needed. Public shaming is EXACTLY the motivation they need (and want) to make those changes. If you do this, the sociopath will thank you.

 

In their own special way.
