    What do you mean when you say sociopath? Afaik that’s not a diagnosis that’s used in psychology anymore (if it ever was? The difference between psychopaths and sociopaths was never clear to me). I believe it’s called anti-social personality disorder now.

          There is some intention to differenciate the two by the ability each one has to mask their internal experience.

          Both can be born, but antisocial personality disorder gets influenced by external factors, basically (neglect, violence, poverty, behavioral problems).
