11 SIGNS OF A SOCIOPATH

Sociopaths are experts at

presenting themselves as
everyday people, so they can be
difficult to identify...

 unless you know the signs of

a sociopath.

Sociopathy is also
known as
anAsocial
personality
disorder.

A sociopathic
person will
typically have no
understanding of
right or wrong.

There is no treatment for

sociopathy. The disorder can be
prevented in children who show
early signs...

...but among adults, the

disorder is permanent.

You may know an

actual sociopath,
though you may
not even be aware
of it.

potenAal
consequences.

11. Promiscuous

which is connected
