Bullies - Know any sociopaths?

Post Reply New Topic

I had a teacher in my final year of school that I'm quite certain was a sociopath. She attempted to bully me and use her power over me, but contrary to what I think she was expecting, I didn't take it lying down and fought back. There were several rules and even laws she broke that with the help of my mother (who went and talked to the principal) I was able to get her in strife about. Needless to say, war was declared. I deliberately snubbed her, only dealing with her when it was absolutely necessary. From what I can tell, she was a known trouble maker at the school and had given other teachers a hard time. Thankfully she was only at my school temporarily and when she left, I got indications that the teacher who normally has her position went into damage control mode.

Edit: The worst thing about sociopaths is that they suck up to the boss and are highly manipulative. The best way I have found to deal with them is to fight fire with fire.

My older brother is a bully.

The fact that Im a bad liar and the cops always contact the immediate family first in a murder invertigation is all thats keeping me from getting my revenge.

I did something mean to someone's friend who was wearing a cast--I yanked his arm--while they were teasing me on the bus. This guy snipped my hair, elbowed me in the face two years later, and tried twice to trick me into being pushed over, succeeding the second time and giving his assistant a high-five. He's now a professional football player.

A few years later still, one of his friends yanked my hair and my tie, essentially because I was wearing a suit. (Why else?)

At the end of high school I met a pretty mean bully who played on the EverQuest PvP server. He had a way to hurt people with words.

Just a few years ago I was hit on purpose by a car while walking to the store, mugged on university campus, and bullied at work by someone who deducted from my paycheck (there's actually a curious coincidence that involved him in which I heard a rap song after being discharged one day).

So people have bruised me pretty badly, gotten away with it, and left me alone to wake up every morning to a Hell of nausea, sickness, and hallucinations. In my darkest hours, I've felt like I was directly attacked by Satan.

I worked for this woman, Annette. She was charming, funny, very likable but a pathological liar. I would see her lie straight to someone's face when I knew the truth. She was deceitful and if she could get out of paying for something, she would do it with no remorse even when it was technically stealing. I got along fine with her, and after I left the job I asked her to be a reference for a new job, which she cheerfully agreed to do. I didn't get the job, with the comment "after that reference no way." She denied all, so I got my brother to ring her. She said every terrible thing about me she possibly could, most of it flat lies. She must be a sociopath, there was simply no reason other than her own sick pleasure.

My ex-husband fit that profile, as he was verbally abusive, yet seemed charming to others. I'm just glad I got out when I did and that he doesn't know about my diagnosis because he said some cruel things about people with disabilities in general. Because of his pathological lying, I made sure to get tested for every STD, and was relieved when they came back negative. He lied about a former girlfriend infecting him with something, when he gave HER the disease. It was when I found out about that lie that I got tested.

I have met an AS sociopath before. She was the worst sociopath I've ever met. Small, pretty but in no way innocent or kind. Whenever anyone disagrees with her or she falls out with someone she takes great delight in inflicting great misery and pain on them. She doesn't feel any guilt for the people she bullied and she getting worse. She's the type of person where if they got bad enough she could murder someone in a back alley and be able to live without a conscience of what she had done. Her ability to pathologically lie (without any guilt) makes her dangerous and she is determined to bring everyone down with her. I had to stop having anything to do with her (and risk the endless abuse in doing so) otherwise she would have destroyed me.

Yes! I have a family member who is indeed a sociopath! A big one at that!

I was married to a person who has a Socially deviant lifestyle. All of the references listed here apply. Even the many short term marriages. I couldn't classify him as a true sociopath though.
