It's remarkable to read those and know that you can come up with multiple examples of his behavior for each of these characteristics of a sociopath.

Very fascinating article you shared so Mahalo. Living in Hawaii I have met some Psychopaths & sometimes get confused by the title Sociopaths vs. the first title? Even so, you described my Fear Thy Neighbors to a "T" & that said I should be on Investigation I.D. along with other neighbors in one gated 'hood in Kailua Kona, Hawaii. Most Psychopaths (or Sociopaths) lack empathy and have ZERO remorse being the Narcissist that they are. We have 105 houses in our subdivision so 37+ pets all cats were trapped/killed by Fear Thy Neighbors with the former HOA Pres. who put the hits on all of our pets with his BFF who's wife works at West Hawaii Today so expect no Editorial. You really hit the nail on it's head describing all of their traits so this is astonishing to me. In fact, the BFF who after one HOA Meeting after I found out through the grapevine 'bout the Fear Thy Neighbors as I was MISSING two cats after Humane Society FAILED to arrest the one main culprit then I showed up at the meeting. Earlier this BFF went to another HOA Meeting bragging 'bout killing 30+ pets tho' by then I was finished attending meetings hearing from all white neighbors (not Hawaiians or locals) of the torture they inflicted by hiring locals to kill pigs in the field not just for a Luau. I was APPALLED with the duct tape the suffering etc. so then once I found out what was happening I then went on my Rant & Rave asking why the pres. didn't WARN us 'bout the CAT KILLER his BFF? Apparently in La, La Land (Hawaii) one may kill pets like they're mongoose yet.. it took ONE person to stand up to the BOD which was me. The reason in case anyone is wondering is the pres. & his BFF HATE cats. I was so angry in pair of dice I rolled! He didn't know he had it coming! It was Fear Thy Neighbors vs. the Neighbor from Hell so all Hell broke loose! It got tense. Music was playing at 3:00 a.m. along with craziness that followed from our home so hope it was fun. He didn't know that I knew all 'bout it since it's a Circle living on a rock on an island in the deep Pacific. Word gets back so this isn't the mainland by no means! By then, I even had 65 mice & four rats in the house after the death of Prince & Baby since we live next to a 127 acre pasture. I then trapped the mice counting each one with a few casualties in a LIVE trap then gave 'em back to the catless neighbors saying to myself, "Here you go!" WORST Fear Thy Neighbors I've ever seen & mauka (mtn.) side we had one Psychopath/Sexual Predator from Utah who used Poison my pretty to kill our cats then another Texan who did the same because they're evil. I was the VOICE of the VOICELESS. The HOA Pres. was so ASHAMED as I lowered the boom on him in my Three Minute Speech conc: Hawaii Statutes on Animal Cruelty never knowing that with my words he would then $ell his dead wife's home. He moved quickly with evil nurse who asked which cats were mine & my daughter's then both VANISHED. Right afterwards, he then moved into a 24/7 with guards subdivision after getting Death Threats from one German neighbor who I told what happened who the pres. had harassed for getting another Dachshund rescue puppy who has an arsenal. Big Sigh. Now with cameras on our home with no SYG (Stand Your Ground) like in Flo Rida I have a 100% pit bull puppy now just turning into a dog that is our protector along with an older dog & some cats. I want to say I really appreciate this article so it appears that those they prey on others like in this article want to take away even pets to make others feel in pain. After this meeting 48 hours it took for this "pres." to move his vehicle then do a quick $ale & move along with four other CAT KILLERS. While I'm thankful they moved we still have the main culprit his BFF who now hides in house so even if a person isn't in a relationship or a coworker it may turn out to be a Fear Thy Neighbor. From Flo Rida I really didn't expect to meet Psychopaths in paradise. Thanks for listening!

when I asked him about it and a person I knew. One thing that he said that still stands out in my mind was that he said "sociopaths are everywhere, just look at the members of our government". He sure was spot on!
