Sociopathy has nothing to do with manners. Actual sociopaths can actually be quite charming (when they're trying to get what they want). In addition, sociopaths generally DO know right from wrong, but have no empathy guiding their judgements. So basically they don't CARE what's right or wrong.
It's a common misconception that all killers are sociopaths. Sociopathy is not a very common condition. HOWEVER, anti-social personalities are more common and can mostly be seen in high-level, white-collar, corporate careers where ruthlessness and lack of empathy drive personal and corporate capital gains.

Having sociopath characteristics does not make you a sociopath, i even have lots of those characteristics... Like hating human beings, being a pathological liar (manipulation, impressing those with lies is lame) and losing interest of roughly each thing relatively immediately. that doesn't mean you're a sociopath, in case you relatively think of you will desire to be one, happening the internet won't grant you with not something yet inconclusive solutions, whether it have been a psychologist to be the only answering, there are various things that would desire to be taken in attention and this is often not a 5min attempt. in simple terms on account which you're shy or do unlike putting around too many human beings does not make you a sociopath, in case you do not elect to be called that this is advisable to start up being extra open minded approximately different cultures, perhaps lie fairly much less, don't get all paranoid in simple terms simply by fact somebody called you that. there's no would desire to be paranoid approximately something like this and being a sociopath is something severe, maximum sociopaths are violents, lack sense sorry approximately while hurting human beings or stealing and are parasites.

Sociopaths have no regard for the feelings, emotions or rights of others. The most commonly known sociopaths are those whom are serial killers. When caught, they generally have no emotion regarding what they did to others and remorse is no where to be found

Ted Bundy was a sociopath with exceptional manners. In fact that is what made him so charming and alluring. He could be walking an old grandma across the street showering her with compliments and in the next minute slapping a hot young babe around with a stick.
Its wrong, but he didnt care.

There are two factors to psychopathy/sociopathy. Factor 1 involves the emotional aspects and Factor 2 involves the behavior. Factor 1 includes many of the things people have already mentioned such as emotional callousness, lack of remorse, lack of social relationships, etc. However, another important aspect of Factor 1 is superficial charm and manipulation. Therefore, psychopaths can have mannors, because mannors may allow them to charm and win over trust from others in order to use them to achieve goals. Factor 2 involves the impulsivity and antisocial behavior.

Sociopaths feel no remorse for his actions, is impulsive and does not fear the consequences for his actioins. Go to Wikipedia and type in sociopath, it is explained quite thoroughly and I have decided after reading it, that sociopaths are very scary people.

Psychopaths are generally unaware of the concept of wrongdoing when they are doing it, even though they know what's right and what's wrong.
The sociopath is aware and knows when they're doing wrong. They have no empathy and that's what makes them dangerous.
