Being a sociopath has nothing to do with being a nice guy. Have you guys not seen Dexter?
Here are some traits that Pusha has that are similar to a high functioning sociopath:
- High IQ: High functioning sociopaths often have a higher IQ than other sociopaths or people without personality disorders. This helps them plan, manipulate, and exploit others.
- Lack of empathy: Difficulty in empathizing with others or understanding the emotional consequences of their actions.
- Narcissism: They often have strong self-love and grandiose self-image. This occurs because of low esteem and delusional beliefs.
- Charming: Although most sociopaths lack empathy, they are capable of mimicking and manipulating emotions to appear charming and normal.
- Secretive: A sociopath doesn't feel the need to share intimate details with others unless it is to manipulate.
- Sensitive to criticism: Despite their lack of empathy, sociopaths desire the approval of others. They feel entitled to admiration and are quick to anger when criticized.
- Impulsive behavior: Sociopaths often live in the moment and will do what they feel is needed to reach their immediate goals.
- Criminal Behavior: Criminal activity associated with sociopaths could include theft, assault, or destruction of property.
BTW, Budden fits this criteria more than Push. Push just has an extreme lack of empathy
