Rob Kall: What, what about, how does one defend against a malicious sociopath? Someone who's trying to cause hurt and damage.
M.E. Thomas: Right. Malicious sociopath, someone who's trying to cause hurt or damage. Like I said I think that the best way in those situations is to try to document everything, and try to have a witness there at all times. Sometimes there's not a witness, I've heard stories, people saying that they were stalked by somebody who may or may not have been a sociopath. But for the past eighteen years, and they would break into your house and they would, they would steal things, and they would call the police. And eventually the police said, "Stop calling us about this," because they wouldn't take it seriously.
Those situations, I mean I don't know if a sociopath would honestly do that, for eighteen years, keep doing that? Sociopaths have a short attention span, right? Most sociopaths seem like they have ADHD. And so I, I kind of can't imagine that happening. But to the extent that it does, I don't know.
Rob Kall: So maybe that would be, if it was a long term thing maybe you'd expect that to be a narcissist, or something like that?
M.E. Thomas: Right, right. Somebody who feels like they have been hurt, or you know like, "You can't leave me, I'll show you that you can't leave me,". You know sociopaths don't feel the same sort of ego pain about that sort of stuff as narcissists do.
Rob Kall: Okay. How bout online sociopathic behaviors, can you talk about that at all? What to look for, what to expect? How sociopaths manifest online?
M.E. Thomas: Yeah, online. You know I think that everybody acts a little more sociopathic online. There have been a lot of articles talking about this internet, sort of snark, about how people will, you know be very aggressive and be very mean, and bullying behaviors online. I don't, I think those people think that those might be sociopaths, but I don't think so for the most part.
Sociopaths, probably don't need too go online to like bully people. *chuckles* They probably have sufficient opportunities in their real life. If a sociopath were to go online, I've seen this happen a lot on my blog, where people that I know are sociopaths, because they're frequent commenters on the blog regular readers of the blog. They'll, a new person will come on, and they'll act very very nice to the new person. And they'll solicit a lot of information from the new person, and they'll keep collecting information just naturally. Sociopaths just naturally collect information, knowledge is power.
