Is there any chance that sociopaths are aware of how they behave in the society?
Since deceitfulness, lying, aliases, and defrauding others for personal profit or pleasure, are traits of sociopathy, it seems unlikely that a sociopath would not be self-aware of such personal traits, even if not diagnosing themselves. Moreover, given the public knowledge of sociopathy/psychopathy, it would take considerable denial to not be aware of one’s own traits; but, denial is a known human trait.
I think they actually do realize they’ve a mental illness, but would deny that they are sociopathic. I don’t think the guy I knew was aware. And I think that he had narcissistic tendencies, but the empathy was faked. So, I don’t think that they are aware. They’re pretty normal to themselves.
