A layperson's term for somebody with antisocial personality disorder: somebody who lacks a conscience. This is somebody who knows right from wrong, but doesn't care because he/she does not think in those terms; they care about their own benefit, regardless of who is in the way.
The sociopath is very often thought of as a serial killer, but that represents only a small portion of them; sociopaths can be anybody.
Sociopaths come in these basic types:
Common: A simple lack of conscience and lack of proper integration into society, they're feral children grown up.
Alienated: Alienated from other people, they have trouble empathizing with others.
Aggressive: Comes with a consistent sadistic streak.
Dissocial: Abides by gang rules and morals that antagonize mainstream society.

1. Failure to conform to social norms, including behavior that warrants arrest.
2. Deception; they're glib, pathological liars, and manipulators, often use false names.
3. Impulsive behavior; failure to plan ahead.
4. Irritable and aggressive, frequent fights or attacks.
5. Reckless disregard for the safety of self or others.
6. Consistently irresponsible; their work behavior is often inconsistent, they can be catastrophic parents.
7. Without remorse; will justify stealing or hurting others ("if you hadn't dressed like that, I wouldn't have raped you").
Unlike psychopaths, who are have fearlessly reckless temperaments, don't feel stress, and are nearly impossible to socialize, sociopaths are generally made and have relatively normal temperaments and are more easily agitated. Most sociopaths are the result of overburdened, inadequate parents and the wrong set of peers and an unstable environment, but can be properly socialized in better settings with stable, competent parents and adequately adjusted peers. The psychopath is found in every social class while the sociopath is generally from poor neighborhoods. The psychopath feels nothing for others but will care for others if it suits their purpose while the sociopath can feel empathy and remorse in specific contexts; the psychopath's crimes tend to be meticulous while the sociopath's crimes tend to be sloppy and erratic; the psychopath can escape undetected for years while the sociopath is more easily discovered.

Sociopaths are people who have little to no conscience. They will lie, cheat, steal and manipulate others for their own benefit. They know exactly what they are doing, they just don't care because they don't think that way. If you are naive enough, they will brainwash you into doing exactly what they say and what they want which is the only time a sociopath is truly happy.
Sociopaths can hide this well if you haven't known them for long. They're really nice and charming at first, almost too nice, but it's extremely fake. The niceness will last until a problem occurs in which they are at fault however, you will be manipulated to believe that you are in the wrong. There is no reasoning with this person. Things have to be their way or it's the highway. They will blame you for hurting them (even if they're the ones who hurt you) or blame the world for all their problems (knowing full well they do shitty things in general). They are compulsive liars and even if they do apologize, it's never genuine. Most are anti social and have few to no friends because most people around them don't want to associate with them. However the sociopath will again tell you that "people hate me for no reason/the world is against me". The only person who will put up with a sociopath is someone who is off their rocker or someone who has absolutely no self respect, or both of those two combined.

Piece of advice: Once you realize that you are dealing with a sociopath, RUN.

A vague term used to define a person with any one of a range of antisocial or dissocial behaviors. A sociopath is usually disconnected from other people on an emotional level and is incapable of experiencing empathy.

Sociopaths are not necessarily immoral or amoral people, however, and can function well in certain positions where a lack of empathy is advantageous. For example, moral sociopaths make good court judges because they interpret the law as it is and treat the people involved as objects. Moral sociopaths also make good doctors in the sense they treat the patient as an object to be repaired and do not let emotions distract them or interfere with their work.

Sociopaths can, of course, lack morals and in this way tend to engage in amoral or immoral acts of self interest. This type of sociopath is dangerous on some levels as they tend not to view other people as "real" people and have no problem killing or harming them.
The sociopath felt nothing as the woman in front of him was assaulted.

As the desperate young mother cried out at the proclamation she was guilty, the sociopathic judge looked on disassociated and devoid of feeling.

A person who in a state of mind, where their brain can justify almost/any actions they do or take. I say state of mind because it has been known for a person to be normal sometimes and a a sociopath at others. These "Metamorphisis sociopaths" might be the most dangerous type because they can hide themselves from being discovered as one by staying normal.
The girl in the play "The bad seed" was one of the highest fourms of a sociopath. Or "Jekel and Hyde" could've been a "Metamorphisis Sociopath."

Worthless fake shit-people with no emotions and no soul that need to be forcefully cut out of society before the lying manipulating disease that they are can propagate any further.
Wise Man: A person who knowingly and intentionally spreads HIV or any other disease, especially to children is a sociopath and should be handled like the Chinese treat their heroin addicts. With a firing squad.
