(24,647 posts)Knowing it literally saved my life. Unbeknownst to my mentor, he assigned me a sociopath for my first pastoral counseling internship. By three sessions in, I knew I could not be in the same room with that woman alone again. Two years later she brutally murdered someone who was trying to help her.
Very frustrating that I could not get people to recognize there was something off about her. Largely because people associated sociopathy with males at that time. Fortunately, there has been a growing appreciation for the incidence of female sociopaths. And I agree. Most sociopaths aren't murderers.
Trump has skeeved me out since I first became aware of him in the 1980s. I never could grasp how he became a reality television personality. Back in the primaries I think I was already commenting here that he would score high on the Hare Psychopathy Checklist.
