"Sociopaths aberrative personality is so badly off that he can lead only a parasitic existence. You will understand, then, that people going down tone scale do not immediately and automatically become aberrative personalities, in our definition as here used. People become aberrative personalities out of a malevolence which insists on a high level of survival without the production of anything." PAB13
How true. The sociopath that I am familiar has never been able to maintain gainful employment. Instead "manufactured" a lie of injury for disability (which I suspect is actually due to debilitating psychiatric issues that have resulted in many psychiatric hospital admissions). Travels around to place after place like a vagabound relying on the "kindness of strangers" (or the very few friends and family that he has not taken advantage of in his life). He definitely leads a parasitic existence. The biggest issue however is that he feels that the world owes him. Feels as though he is a victim even though it was his warped perception of reality that led to toxic decisions bringing about deserved negative consequences. He believes that he is within his rights to take what he wants without regard of whether or not he deserves the object of his desires. So he insists on a high level of survival without the production of anything. He is a leech, a manipulator and liar. It is sad really that one has such a mental deficiency. On the other hand though there is no room for compassion or sympathy since he lacks the capacity to offer those same traits unless as a tool to gain personally. His choices have placed him in the life he currently lives and it is my opinion that he deserves to be miserable.
