Sociopaths

This evening I was watching the Discovery Channel and they interviewed Dr. Stout author of The Sociopath Next Door. Well guess what? I worked at one time for a sociopath and didn't even know that's what you called individuals like this. I could never understand this person and had never met a human being like this guy, I was constantly bewildered. But after listening to Dr. Stout and doing some searches it all makes sense now. Everyone who I worked with had the same consensus that he enjoyed belittling and picking away at you because he just enjoyed it.
"It's easy to see what they are after when they lie and manipulate for money or material goods or power. But in many instances, such as love relationships or faked friendships, it is not so easy to see what the psychopath is after. Without wandering too far afield into spiritual speculations - a problem Cleckley also faced - we can only say that it seems to be that the psychopath ENJOYS making others suffer."
