Female Sociopaths

Have you ever come across a female sociopath? How are they different from male sociopaths? How do they manage to prey on others without even being caught? This article will actually take you through the mindset of this 'attractive trouble' and how she can mess up your life beyond imagination...
"I'm a b*tch, I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a mother, I'm a sinner, I'm a saint, I do not feel ashamed. I'm your health, I'm your dream, I'm nothing in between. You know you wouldn't want it any other way, so take me as I am. This may mean you'll have to be a stronger man. Rest assured that when I start to make you nervous and I'm going to extremes, tomorrow I will change and today won't mean a thing." ~ From the song B*tch by Meredith Edwards

I thought this song was the perfect way to describe how a female sociopath would describe herself... and trust me, she would be very proud of it! You know this is the most interesting part about them. They have no conscience, no principles, no guilt and no remorse. They don't know how to empathize or love. They would tell you that they love you, but only in words. It's not that they won't 'show the love and concern', they would, but only so that you can get trapped into their charm so that they can take away everything from you, right from your money to your self-esteem. Many experts call the female sociopath as the best actress in the whole wide world because of her ability to create a mess in your life and still manage to stick on to you and get away with it. She is a great manipulator, she will have a logical explanation to each and every action that she does... so if you're questioning her about something, her answer or reaction to that will make you question about yourself.

Traits of a female Sociopath

"The consequences of her behavior are always somebody else's problem, not hers. She is never to blame for anything. Because she's out to control, she manipulates and punishes at will. She is the witness, the judge, the lawyer, the jury, the executioner - but never the accused. She will break the rules without a second thought, if the end justifies the means." ~ An excerpt from the book Venus: The Dark Side by Roy Sheppard and Mary T Cleary

Does this excerpt give you an idea about a female sociopath? Well, these are just few among the many many masks that she wears, and when she let goes, she still manages to have a soft corner for herself in your eyes. So how do you identify if this 'female' you are interacting with is a sociopath? What are the traits that you should look for? Are sociopaths so easy to identify? Well, if that was the case, there wouldn't be much of a problem here, right? Nevertheless, see how this beautiful and attractive predator uses her charms and lies to deceit you, be it knowingly or unknowingly.

Superficially Attractive and Decked up!
These females are very attractive on the outside. They are usually decked up with the best makeup and clothes which is usually a way to hide their inner low self-esteem. They are also very easy to talk to. Their silver tongued conversation will instantly attract you towards them. They are extremely confident, charming and tend to speak with a lot of openness. This flamboyant nature of theirs manages to attract people instantly towards them. They can talk logical, emotional and can easily make you feel connected to them. But here is the trick to spot them, their smiles will never reach their eyes, because everything that they say or do is superficial, but it's not easy to catch hold of.

She Believes Herself to be Too Good!
Another classic characteristic of a female sociopath is that she believes that she is simply the best, be it in looks, in intelligence or any other area. Her self-worth and superior belief is always too high as compared to others. So if you are with a woman who says lines like, "Why should I be doing this, these things are meant for the lowlifes?" or "I am so beautiful and intelligent, I don't need to do this at all!", then there are chances that she can turn out to be a sociopath that you should be away from. There superior beliefs also makes them arrogant and harsh towards others, but if you are the potential prey, she will treat you like there can be no one as sweet as her...at least initially.

No Respect for Rules and Responsibilities!
For her, rules are meant to be broken, and responsibilities, why should she even care! She can never follow rules because she is way too impulsive. She cannot overcome temptations, and when she wants something, there is no rule that can stop her. Her actions are never governed by morals and she never thinks about the consequences. Therefore you can never expect things like planning, focusing and committing from a sociopath. If you confront her, she will cry, she will make you believe that she will change, but then you're a fool to believe her words, and she is way too smart for you not to believe her.

Is Always Looking for Stimulation!
Another interesting thing about female sociopaths is that they tend to get bored way to easily. You cannot expect stability, or being involved in the same routine for long. Which is why they will change jobs within sort span of time, they will move from places to places living a nomadic life. They need something new, exciting and stimulating all the time. If drug abuse, or abusing a person gives them a high or stimulates them in a way, they can do that too without giving it a second thought.

She is a Pathological Liar, To Gain Attention and Sympathy
Remember the term, 'best actress in the whole world'! You act when you need to hide your reality, and she is really good at that. She will lie to come closer to you, she will lie to gain your attention, she will lie to make you want her, she will lie to make you believe her lies and bond with her emotionally... and when that happens, she will start to manipulate you, she will trap you in her stories and talks and make you believe that all that she is doing is justified, at least from her point of view! She will be dishonest, deceitful and cleverly sly. If you're smart, you should get out as soon as she starts behaving like this.

She is a Parasite that Feeds on You!
If you think that she is there with you because she genuinely likes you, think again! Are you the kind of person who is financially stable, who is responsible, who believes in helping and sympathizing with others and who can forgive and give the 'benefit of doubt', then probably that is the reason why she is there with you. She indulges in parasitic living. She will exploit you emotionally, financially, may be even physically to fulfill her own shallow desires. She cannot feel your pain, she has shallow emotions and although at times, she might appear to be caring and loving, she is coldhearted.

She Did You Wrong Because You Asked for It!
Blame her for making your life difficult and be prepared to make it more worse! She will either trap you with her fake stories and lies once again to give justification for what has happened, or she will blame you in return. She will never take responsibility for her actions and she will never agree to the fact that she is to be blamed for anything wrong. She can also show behavioral signs like anger, frustration, shouting, abusing and becoming highly aggressive.

Messed Up History of Relationships or Childhood!
OK, say that the woman you are with is just the perfect woman and is just too good to be true. She cares for you, she is kind, considerate and all that you want her to be. There is yet, another way to find out about her past life. Has she been involved in various relationships, or had a difficult childhood involving abuse, be it substance abuse or physical abuse. It has also been observed that sociopaths tend to have criminal tendencies during childhood and have been involved in instances of vandalism, theft, cheating, infidelity and so on, in the past.

Though it is possible to somehow help young adults and children with this disorder, it is almost impossible to treat an adult with this personality disorder. Therefore, if you know someone with these traits, you would be wise if you back out right now instead of being a 'good and helpful' human being with an intention to help and change the person. If anything that will change then it is your life and that too, in an adverse way. Beware and keep your distance from such people as they have tendencies to even kill you!
