Sociopathy is not something to jokingly self-diagnosis. It is serious, and the most basic definition is a disorder that appears with mainly anti-social traits to the extreme. A sociopath doesn’t just not like socializing and doesn’t thrive at it if they try; they will actively search for ways to get out of and ignore it. This said, not all the sociopaths in society are dangerous criminals.

They often have no plan, and have little to no regard for social activities. If they threaten suicide, it’s often not followed through, and they can make the same mistake a thousand times and still never learn from it. They often have rational thinking, which surprises many because they never seem to have an irrational thought.
