all i know is that the existence of sociopaths proves the universe is evil imo.
it's one thing to read about sociopaths, but it's another thing to actually have been a victim or worse have had sociopaths have control and power over you from a young age or even from infancy. that is the worst hell and it happens. i would have rather never existed or been born if i could change the past, nothing is worth that constant trauma and torture. they literally try to make your life hell every moment of your life and every single day with very few breaks. whatever angst they feel whether it be from their job, relationships, personal ego, or even petty issues they will use you to take it out on. the key reason and what makes sociopaths really evil is that they really are very and deeply intrusive in the psyche and person of their victim. this is the key reason why they are so dangerous and so destructive. this can be ignited from just general dislike or even petty jealousy. they are really like parasites but what is so frightening is how the sociopath learns and is fascinated in knowing their victim even more closely than people who love you. this is because when someone actually loves and cares for you, they respect some level of your privacy as well as your 'space'. as twisted as it is, sociopaths have no respect for other's boundaries and can literally become like a personal demon in your life if they set their sights on you, knowing you more deeply than anyone else but for the worst reasons imaginable or unimaginable. sociopaths want to know your dreams, your values, your most intimate and subtle feelings, habits, wishes etc so they can destroy you from the inside out. this devious desire is coming from the most nastiest spirit possible to want to pervert, obstruct, damage or destroy systematically and continuously to augment their own feelings of inadequacy. and even if those issues or those petty reasons didn't exist within them, then they would just use you in general if they could. for intance, a sociopath may be trying to destroy you because of their own personal feelings but while they are at it, they could be using you sexually or beating you up or getting you to be their slave in some way or whatever they can use you for. they want to get into your "soul" and control like a rapist just like your life belongs to them to use, steal or destroy at their whim. they are the worst cowards and deviants. you just wouldn't think anyone would go to such lengths to destroy another person or have that type of deep and dark hatred. this is their way to make up for their own failures by getting satisfaction in destroying or sabotaging someone else they see as being the 'opposite' or different. contrary to popular belief, sociopaths also are choosy in their victims too. it's not like they just randomly victimize anyone, there is no satisfaction in that. also, if they are random, they will be exposed. sociopaths understand politics really well (again, status quo) as it's their forte as well. they attack those that are not of their "tribe" (not necessarily race-related) so they have back-up or a supportive base. sociopaths are repulsively hyper-sensitive and tuned into other's minutae weaknesses, areas of vulnerabilities and strengths to exploit which good people don't focus on as that's not on their radar. it's whoever's 'blood' they sniff out so to speak or piques some issue or area of inadequacy or failure or sense of difference, which will create a vendetta within them. the sociopath is extremely sly and covert, very reptilish. the sociopath or sociopaths (sometimes they team up) can end up being the one to define your life more than anyone else because of the level of deep devastation they wrought. this is because a sociopath's real aim is to destroy the person at the root level literally. this is not about squabbles though the sociopath may try to front it as such. this stuff is predation and doesn't have to have any legitimate reasons except it be deep, dark and sinister. that is how frightening and horrendous a true sociopath is. it's not retardation or stupidity or insanity etc. they really know what they are doing and even relish it because it is evil, perverted, harmful, degrading etc. if one ever has the horrible misfortune of glimpsing or getting close to a sociopath, there is nothing more hideous. sociopaths are extremely malicious, narcissistic and seething with jealousy and hatred but this can be hidden fairly well when they decide to. i've also noticed they have a 'my way or the highway' type of modus operandi which lends itself to a rather prejudicial and narrow-minded streak so they get along with more conventional type people or that is usually the type they make friends with; more toward right-wing, authoritarian, very status-quo from outside observation etc.
also, the ones you see glamorized on television like serial killers are not always the most devious ones. most of them are psychotic with some sociopathic traits.
a sociopath does things in ways where they don't get caught or they won't get in trouble with the law and even use deftness. most sociopaths escape detection. their perversity can be subtle and passive-aggressive as they flip/switch on a dime depending on the situation and the people around them (who is watching).
