What’s the difference between a narcissist and a sociopath?
In: Other
At it’s most basic a sociopath is someone who doesn’t care about the social consequences of their actions. This means that they won’t have moral or ethical difficulties if what they want to do transgresses other people’s boundaries. This allows for a sociopath to be extremely manipulative but doesn’t make them so.
A narcissist on the other hand sees the world as revolving around them. That everything that happens anywhere was directed at them personally. Everyone exists for the sole purpose of improving the narcissists life and if they choose not to do so they’re in the wrong. These are people who would unironically say that they didn’t go to an event because someone else wouldn’t give them the money to do so or because someone else wouldn’t drive them. Everything is someone else’s fault.
