I can't give this book a good rating due to the fact that I started reading it in May 2016 and here we are, in April 2019 and I've finished it. Rarely do I finish a book in more than two weeks, let alone almost three years. Admittedly, this is more of a testament to how little of a life I have but still. On this, ME Thomas – the author and self-proclaimed sociopath – has another view: “I believe that most people who interact with sociopaths are better off than they otherwise would be. Sociopaths are part of the grease making the world go around. We fulfil fantasies, or at least the appearance of fantasies.

If so, that person might be a psychopath. Not all psychopaths wind up in jail; some wheedle their way into big corporations and become so-called corporate, or white-collar, psychopaths. Once they’re in, they manipulate their bosses, colleagues and subordinates to get what they want while destroying everyone in their way. Don't bother with people who keep on pushing your buttons, and try to be aware of when they are being pushed. This person was the most destructive during a time where I felt particularly low, but they never stopped talking about the person that I had issues with (like how that person was so obsessed with them and was pestering her about when they'd date while claiming he was monogamous and dating another person). Unfortunately, you might be blind to it until it's too late, but don't be afraid of setting boundaries and if they ignore them, don't be afraid to cut them out.

Come to think of it you probably still had to do business with others so i would guess that everyone will at one time or another have met some of these people...or worse have worked under them.Keep things objective: A lot of psychopaths are pathological liars, and you may notice discrepancies in their stories. I think we all have a few inconsistencies and things can change over time, but the person I knew would say that she loved a band and went to their concert, and then would comment on how much she disliked this band to the next one. People were rather disposable as well.
