Subtle Sociopaths - 9 Signs Your Partner
May Be Sociopathic Sociopaths and psychopaths (many use the term interchangeably) often bring to mind visions of a serial killer or otherwise violent and deadly predator. While many people in that category may be sociopathic, there is also a segment of the population that harbors similar mental wiring, but does not have the homicidal tendencies that lead to such extreme behaviors. However, this does not mean that such a sociopath does not cause a great deal of hurt, destruction, and bewilderment for those who are close to that individual. While only a licensed mental health professional can diagnose a sociopath, it is helpful to know signs to look for. Here are 9 indicators that your partner may be a sociopath or psychopath: 1. Lack of guilt or remorse. A sociopath may be very upset about being caught for doing something hurtful or wrong, but the genuine emotion, the conscience most of us take for granted, is absent. Your partner may express disdain for the victim and actually believe that the victim deserved to be hurt for being "weak." 2. Grandiose self worth. Your partner may feel superior to other human beings and expect to be treated as such. 3. Poor behavioral control and impulsive action. Your partner may have trouble delaying gratification and have a tendency toward compulsive behavior such as drug and alcohol abuse, and sexual promiscuity.

....and not even acknowledge it to himself! Why? Because he's off charming the socks off of new women as if your years together didn't even exist! The sociopathic narcissistic ex continually acts in abusive, bewildering and confusing ways. He is not above committing destructive acts. When the breakup becomes a reality, it is likely that his 'false persona' will completely disappear all together and you will most likely experience the most hurtful of behavior from him. He is completely lacking in empathy, and - since he is not receiving any admiration from you anymore - he will dismiss you and discard you as worthless to him, consequently dropping any fake front that he use to put up in order to keep you in the relationship.

4. Tendency toward boredom and risky activities. Your partner may seek excessive stimuli and engage in risk taking behavior, regardless of the consequence to self or others. 5. Tendency toward violent behavior. Many sociopaths exhibit aggressive tendencies, as evidenced by fistfights or other forms of violence. 6. Conning and manipulativeness, compulsive lying. Your partner may lie compulsively, or keep a parasitic lifestyle, willing to con others out of resources for their benefit. 7. Failure to conform to social norms. Your partner may feel as if the rules and laws of society do not really apply to him or her, and behave as such. 8. Shallow emotional depth and superficial charm. Your partner may ooze charisma and be able to motivate people easily, but underneath the charm there is little emotional depth. 9. Consistent display of irresponsibility. Your partner may have difficulty holding a steady job, paying bills on time, or otherwise honor commitments, including marital or relationship commitments.
