2. Powers of persuasion & superficial charm
Another way to spot a sociopath is to look for signs that show they like having power. These people will often exhibit a superficial charm to impress others.
Sociopaths can be cunning, charming, and highly persuasive when they want others to help, agree with, and like them. These traits are superficial in nature and tend to fade the more often a person has to interact with them. For instance, you start dating a sociopath, and she or he drops the charm now that they “have you”.
So, looking for these traits can help you spot a sociopath. They are very good at captivating others, making a good first impression, and persuading people to do things for them.

Oh, this is an article about Trump!
Where r the three signs?
Sociopath is Correct Abusive and Charming The Devil in disguise
Donald Trump exhibits each and every one of those traits.
Just like all topics. This says here are the #… And nothing is here 😔
This makes total sense. Sociopaths can be very charming, but once that mask comes off, watch out!!! and yes they do like to hold positions of power. They can be very successful, but they tend to be quite ruthless as well which is why they get to the top I suppose. With that being said, they do not have to many friends as a rule and the only ones they do have, usually are paid to be around, not true friends. I would like to see an article comparing Sociopaths to Narcissist, I believe they have some of the same traits!
Studying insight has always been helpful for me; because of characteristics from others. Some females of age have the twisted mental obsession of Narcissistic issues I’ve experienced.
Both are bad
So… It turns out that just about every single person I know is a sociopath. I knew the problem was them and not me.
My question is, what personality type is the person that is continually drawn in by sociopaths? Asking for a friend…… No, really, every relationship I have ever had has been a narcissist at best, sociopath at worst. Why me?
