A person who in a state of mind, where their brain can justify almost/any actions they do or take. I say state of mind because it has been known for a person to be normal sometimes and a a sociopath at others. These "Metamorphisis sociopaths" might be the most dangerous type because they can hide themselves from being discovered as one by staying normal.
The girl in the play "The bad seed" was one of the highest fourms of a sociopath. Or "Jekel and Hyde" could've been a "Metamorphisis Sociopath."

1: a word that every one always seems to confuse with 'psychopath'
2: sociopaths are people who CAN genuinely feel shame, remorse and empathy but only if a mental "criteria" of sorts are met unlike psychopaths who are completely devoid of empathy. an example of this is "criteria" is family members. many sociopaths can honestly feel empathy towards family but none at all toward a class-mate or co-worker. this "criteria" can vary massively sociopath to sociopath. many use there lack of emotion toward the greater of society to help them achieve some kind of goal like making loads of money or getting a high ranking political position. this also varys alot sociopath to sociopath.

1: due too politics and religion no one seems to have the slightest idea what the difference between 'sociopath' and 'psychopath' is...
2: im a sociopath. i will un-empathetically destroy your life if it helps me achieve my sole goal of helping make my friends and family happier. i as a sociopath am not pure evil either. ive done 'mean things' to some of my loved ones and genuinely and empathetically cried my heart out. ive also done the same things to people like you and not even felt a thing.

Sociopaths are innately manipulative, they cannot help themselves," Dr. Turner says. "In some cases this is deliberate on their part, but very often it is an unconscious act — almost a reflex. They can’t help but be destructive to their partners and in many instances they enjoy the challenge of ‘breaking’ the other person. The stronger and more independent that person is, the better." Basically, it can be a game for them.
Unfortunately, sociopaths can seem totally nice, charming, and "normal" at first, so it can make it difficult to spot the red flags. But according to experts, here are some common phrases sociopaths are likely to use on the people they "love."

With the right biological conditions in place, a person's background can further add to the development of sociopathy. Early life experiences or trauma, such as extreme poverty, abuse, rejection, and other adverse conditions can, if the biological nature allows, be part of the causes of sociopathy (Sociopathic Parents and Their Effects on Children).
Interestingly, when exploring what causes someone to be a sociopath, some researchers have noticed that sociopaths coming from unstable backgrounds commit more violent crimes than sociopaths from stable backgrounds (Hare, 1999). Sociopaths do indeed come from all socioeconomic backgrounds. There is some evidence that many factors influence the severity of sociopathy.

Worthless fake shit-people with no emotions and no soul that need to be forcefully cut out of society before the lying manipulating disease that they are can propagate any further.
Wise Man: A person who knowingly and intentionally spreads HIV or any other disease, especially to children is a sociopath and should be handled like the Chinese treat their heroin addicts. With a firing squad.
