Is My Boyfriend A Sociopath?

hope for me? I doubt it....

 

well, at least then I am not a redeemable coupon to get something else then.

 

Foremost, I applaud you for asking for advice/opinions about a psychopath/sociopath. Psychopath/Sociopath are used interchangeably among researchers and both have similar meaning in explaining what these two terms are. Based on what you posted, your boyfriend doesn't sound much at all like a sociopath/psychopath. Ask me how I know? I was married to one. Let's break down a few of the symptoms/signs of a sociopath/psychopath:

-Is he a pathological liar?
-Does he project his wrongdoings onto you? For instance, he told you that you stole his money, but in actuality he stole money from you.
-Is he verbally abusive? Emotional abusive? Or perhaps, physically abusive? Also, by being married to a psychopath I have learned that 'silence' is also abuse. Psychopaths punish you by ignoring you completely as if you don't exist if things don't go their way.
-Does he say shocking things that stop you in your tracks? For example, tell you that he killed a man.
-Does he engage in sexually deviant behavior? Does he watch a lot of porn? Is he into young girls or boys?
-Is he promiscuous?
-Does he tell you that all his ex-girlfriends/wives treated him poorly?
-Does he cry incessantly and tell you sob stories so that you can feel sorry for him?
-Is he charming?
-Does he value, devalue and discard you as if you were yesterday's garbage?

The above are just a few examples of what a psychopath is capable of doing to their victims, but there are more in which I can't remember at the moment. They are the devil in disguise and will try to destroy you at all cost to include your reputation, your money, your family, and friends. Beware of these individuals as it could be your boss, a neighbor or a family relative. Again, you are very smart in asking whether your boyfriend is a psychopath as many victims do not get the opportunity to ask as they are either dead or in some type of therapy.

 

Without hope, what have we?

 

I'm not sure, I haven't really dated anyone for long enough to recognise the signs, I've been single for years and years.

Maybe he is just shy.
