7. A hunger for power and dominance
Sociopaths are commonly found at the heads of governments, corporations, and positions of great power. This may be no coincidence, as sociopathic people have a tendency to be power-hungry and may spend a lot of effort and time attaining positions where they can dominate, control, and have authority over others.
Once the power is in their hands, they commonly misuse and abuse it in ways that are destructive, irresponsible, and harmful to others. According to psychologists, the scariest part is that it’s not easy to spot a sociopath. That’s because these people may be well-dressed, charming, polished, and successful.
They may take part in charitable activities or causes not because they care but because they know it makes them look good.

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?
