I am a diagnosed sociopath. Here are three behaviors that expose people with the disorder

A diagnosed sociopath has revealed three behaviors that will expose others with the disorder.

Australian model Kanika Batra-Matheson, 28, says she has “become a sociopath” because of the traumatic abuse she suffered as a child, which has changed her outlook on life and she hopes to teach others about the disorder.

She recently discussed tactics that prompt a sociopath to drop their nice guy facade and reveal their true personality.

The biggest giveaway is the way the person looks at you, because all sociopaths have “dead eyes.”

Individuals with the disorder do not blink as often as a normal person, and the lack of emotion they feel can cause them to give off a cold, emotional, or flat look.

“I had to teach myself to blink more often so I wouldn’t scare people,” Batra-Matheson said.

She uses targeted actions, such as seeing if the other person will reflect her interests or if she can catch them in lies, stating that this comes naturally to sociopaths and will reveal who they really are.

Batra-Matheson said she had to explain how to detect a sociopath because it is not a common condition and affects only two to four percent of the population in the US – which amounts to about 15 million people.

Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), also known as sociopathy, is diagnosed after a person undergoes a detailed psychological examination.

They must be at least 18 years old and show at least three signs of sociopathy, including repeatedly deceiving others, being irritable or aggressive, and showing a lack of remorse.

Batra-Matheson is an Australian model and content creator who represented her country at the 2021 and 2022 Miss Aura beauty pageant.

She now models swimwear and lingerie and is working on creating her own clothing line.

From an early age, Batra-Matheson knew she was different because she had the constant impulse to get her classmates in trouble or push another kid down the stairs.

When she was diagnosed with the disorder, she understood why she behaved the way she did and wanted to help others understand what sociopaths experience and how to spot it.

“A successful sociopath is very difficult to recognize,” Batra-Matheson explained. “Just like I test narcissists, I can also test sociopaths.”

There is a series of steps that Batra-Matheson uses to test sociopaths, starting with seeing if they will copy her actions, mannerisms, or interests.

“The way I do this is by saying something absolutely ridiculous and seeing if they mirror me,” she said in a TikTok video.

‘I tell them that I spend my free time knitting. Somehow they knit too, or their uncle does too.’

Sociopaths often use a mirroring technique to align their personalities with those of others, creating the illusion that they have a connection.

They can even do this by mirroring the other person’s body language or facial expressions.

This allows them to build a level of trust with another person, making it easier to gain control or dominance over them later.

Then Batra-Matheson said she will also “bring out a range of different emotions and see how they respond to them.”

“Since lying is second nature to us, I try to get them out right away.”

A sociopath’s main goal is to gain control over others, allowing him or her to fulfill his or her fantasies of superiority and power. Just psychology.

They often lie to control how others perceive them or because it is easier than telling the truth about themselves.

It also gives them the opportunity to avoid the consequences of their actions or to make themselves appear superior to the other.

At this point, Batra-Matheson said, “The mask of common sense and kindness slips off very quickly,” allowing her to determine if the person is also a sociopath.
