Is your boyfriend or girlfriend acting like a sociopath? Well not to scare you, but he or she might actually be one.
The Huffington Post has gathered some tell tale signs that could indicate if you should probably end the relationship as soon as possible.
Sociopath's have an oversized ego, lie on a regular basis, while exhibiting manipulative behavior.
Another red flag for your relationship could be that your partner shows a lack of empathy, remorse or shame and stays eerily calm in scary or dangerous situations.
Behaving irresponsibly or with extreme impulsivity and having just a few friends can be some other traits in sociopaths.
Other things that you should keep in mind while determining if you are dating a sociopath are that such people can be very charming, but only superficially, they disregard societal norms, and have no problem with maintaining uninterrupted "intense" eye contact.
