9 Things A Sociopath Would Say

3 members

Have you ever talked to a sociopath? According to the Fifth Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (or DSM-5), sociopathy is a category of antisocial personality disorder. A sociopath is someone with interior, social, and pathological impairments to their personality. Sociopaths will say anything to get their way, even if that means bending the truth and manipulation. Do you suspect you may be dealing with a sociopath right now? In this video, we present to you some of the things a sociopath would say to help you understand what really goes through their minds.

As a disclaimer, we want to note that these phrases alone don’t define a sociopath. Language is just a small piece of a larger puzzle. In other words, you may hear a friend or partner use phrases from this list, but that doesn’t necessarily make him or her a sociopath.
