Sign #17 That You Are Dating A Sociopath: They Are Very Immature

A sociopath is very immature. This is due to the fact that sociopaths are incapable of learning from past mistakes and therefore continue to repeat them over and over again. A sociopath is much like a teenager in many ways. They are quite selfish and very demanding. They don't know how to put other people's needs before themselves, in fact, they don't know how to even care about what other people may need. These people are always wondering what they will get out of every situation that they are in and if there's no benefit to them then they couldn't care about it at all.

Last Words

Dating today is going to be work, it always has been in the past, but dating a sociopath is more than just work. It is draining and beyond toxic for you both mentally and physically. It's absolutely okay for you to spot the signs and make the break in the name of your own well being so that you can find the one for you who isn't going to bring you down and make you question your own self-worth every step of the way. If your significant other has more than 2 of these signs it's time for you to make the break and get the heck out of your relationship to save yourself from endless heartache. There's nothing healthy about the relationship and the sooner you end it the better off you'll be. It's time for you to take stock of what you have and look out for you and that is completely acceptable, you are your own best ally.

So take some time and re-evaluate what it is that is important to you in your life. When it comes to choosing someone to spend the rest of your life with you don't want to or need to settle for second (or third) best. Choose someone who is going to give you what you want and need from a partner. Find someone who is going to make your life better and add to it rather than someone who is going to sabotage your relationship every step of the way. Don't be afraid to go on a lot of dates and meet a lot of singles before you find "the one". It 's better that you take your time then settle with someone who you think that you might be able to change because it is quite unlikely that you will be able to do that. Worse yet, if they are a sociopath, there's no way that you are going to be able to change them into not being a sociopath.
