M.E. Thomas: *chuckles* I, I think there are ways to get an inkling. I don't know, there definitely are no definitive ways. In fact there's a lot of disagreement even, you know sit with somebody for a few hours, whether this persons a sociopath or not, depending on what they've said.
I think one of the quickest ways though, probably the absolute quickest way, is the sustained eye contact. That sociopaths tend to not break eye contact. In fact, one of my friends, who is a sociopath, met another one of my friends in my, and my friend who's not a sociopath remarked that he seemed a little, "scary," which meant he was staring at her too much. And too long, and didn't break eye contact. So I think that, how, how do you get a sociopath to keep engaging you in eye contact like that? Maybe just keep eye contact with them. A lot of people just look away, and they try to sort of ignore it when it happens. But if you're more aware of it, and paying attention to something like that, then I think that that is the quickest way to get some indication that this person is a sociopath.
Sociopaths, they don't break away eye contact because they don't think it's an aggressive thing for them to be maintaining eye contact. They're largely unaware of it.
Rob Kall: So like a predator?
M.E. Thomas: Yeah, like a predator.
Rob Kall: So anything else?
M.E. Thomas: I mean, I I have a list that I kind of think, sociopath's don't talk about themselves, the small talk that we talked about. You know trying to stick to anecdotal stories rather than giving up factual facts about themselves, I think is one of them. Inconsistencies, seeming inconsistencies, in things that they say. A lot of people, there are some people who just pick up on it, they, they'd probably be good to talk to about this. How, how is it that they know?
Rob Kall: And what do you think they would advise?
