How to Spot a Sociopath: Identifying Traits & Signs of Antisocial Personality Disorder

Sociopaths are people whose behavior is marked by a disregard for the rights and feelings of others, often accompanied by a lack of remorse or shame. It’s difficult to recognize a sociopath’s behavior because it’s often subtle and not easily identifiable. Fortunately, there are some signs you can look for that may help you identify a sociopath.

Traits and Signs of a Sociopath

The following are some of the common traits and signs of a sociopath:

  • A tendency to be deceitful and manipulative in order to gain personal pleasure or profit.
  • Threatening, aggressive or violent behavior toward others.
  • A tendency to be impulsive and not adhere to social rules and customs.
  • A tendency to blame others for their own mistakes.
  • A lack of empathy and remorse for their actions.
  • A tendency to feel grandiose and entitled, and to be highly self-centered.

Things to Consider

It’s important to remember that not everyone who exhibits these behaviors is a sociopath and not everyone who has sociopathic tendencies is a danger to others. It’s also important to note that many people who have a sociopathic disorder are able to live happy and successful lives. If you think you know someone who may have sociopathic tendencies, it’s important to talk to a mental health professional about it in order to get an accurate diagnosis.
