Have you ever had to deal with a sociopath or in a profession that trains you for this possibility?

This could include any types of situations all the way from casual/occasional to work/business or interpersonal relationships like siblings, other relatives or even S. O.

What caused you to realize that this was the case? How did you handle it (either successfully or not)? How long before you decided to sever ties completely.? Were you hurt either physically, emotionally, or financially?

What is your understanding of what characteristics are found in someone who is a sociopath
as opposed to the rest of the population in general ?

Also if you are in a profession which necessitates learning about how to diagnose and deal with this condition, I would appreciate any info you could contribute, regardless of whether or not you’ve had any personal experience dealing with one. Any advice you could give someone who has to deal with a sociopath ?
