also, other than the callous disregard bit (unless that includes not giving a hooting *** what people think of you), that actually describes me quite well.

Why do you have guilt - if you don't care what others think of you, where does the guilt come from?
Separate issue - I can't imagine a sociopath ever experiencing guilt.
Having said that - I don't understand much about sociopath.
Doesn't dogbrain like Chosen one??? He seems angry.

the guilt comes stems from low self-confidence (yes, I know thats a contradiction) and a small helping of self-loathing and depression.

How about the sociopaths and psychopaths that led terrorist groups and get vulnerable people involved? They make the bombs and the plans.
What is the difference between a sociopath and a psychopath?

A narcissist sees other people as objects of self gratification. They are the center of the universe, and everything else exists to serve them. If you do anything for most people, its seen as a favor, warranting at the very least a thank you. If you do anything for a narcissism, its seen as part of an unfulfillable obligation you had to him/her since before you were born. And since your obligation is unfulfillable, nothing you do for the narcissist will ever be good enough. But s/he will certainly keep letting you do him/her favors, all while bashing you for not doing them right.
................
If a narcissist is discovered as such and publicly accused of wrongdoing, s/he will resort to further attention seeking behavior, to do anything possible to refute these claims. This includes blaming, accusations, lying, and even violence if it gets other people to agree with him/her. After all, to a narcissist there’s no difference between the substance of agreement and the act of agreement, so either will do just fine.
That pretty well sums up my husband.
That must be hard on you Marcia.

The narcissist thinks himself to be god. The world will turn around him/her. It might be a very early developped strategy to get attention as a little baby. Because of not getting the needed treating like a god then.
Some AS people need continuous attention from people they've gotten used to, because they ar scared to face the world without that confirmation. When you read about AS children there a quite a few moms stating that the kid cannot / wil not move away from her at all.
That's a complete different story. Being insecure is different from thinking that you are god.

Just a guess. Someone 'just' being a sociopath. And someone being a sociopath with AS. I'd think you need to watch your back either way.
The difference might be that the AS version of the sociopath does not care for your emotions and does not understand them either.
The 'normal' version of the sociopath does not care for your emotions but does understand them. Therefor the 'normal' sociopath will be able, and might enjoy using your emotional situation to his gain.
The 'normal' sociopath might be more dangerous.
If you really think sociopathy is a possibility you should be very careful indeed. And you'll need a wise lawyer.

From a textbook I have access to:
A physcopath does not have a conscience.
No remorse for behaviours.
Nil empathy.
Gain pleasure from degradation or humiliation
Impulsive "time is right"
Rarely think they will be caught.
Narcissistic
Grandiose
Attribute blame to others.
Sexually promiscous.
Little emotional attachment to sexual partners.
tend to have jobs with power / authority.
The fact remains they are very difficult to detect. And the dx is confused by other underlying conditions. There is unfortunately little literature that is of a subjective nature in this area that is readily available.

micgrace, how would a psychopath react when he finds out he's found out? (worried)
