Sociopath

A sociopath is someone who exemplifies antisocial personality disorder. Sociopaths are glib and superficially charming; they are masters of influence and deception. They have no guilt or remorse about exploiting or manipulating other people; winning is the most important thing. They can use words poetically and almost hypnotically. When veracity is challenged, they attack the messenger.

Dr. Pamela Pappas reviewed this

44 year experience in Psychiatry

How long it usually lasts:

Chronic (lasts years to lifelong)
