I'll let you be the judge....

I think you have to be VERY careful when it comes to labelling someone with a personality disorder....
Her behaviour in the house has been pretty dodgy though.

I'll admit I'm no doctor and I'm taking a well educated guess in a Big Brother forum.

[Twiggy]

She acts like one.

[BB_Eye]

Lol, people can be self-centered and passive aggressive without being sociopaths you know.

[DaniBoi]

Since Davina said Kenneth displayed the signs of being a sociopath it seems ever housemate is one.

[halfacrown]

No she's not.

Before Kenneth and a number of us called Noirin as a sociopath. Something borderline sociopath for sure. I was saying that from nearly the beginning.

Kenneth actually is a full-blown sociopath.

Bea is something like BB Eye has called it. A self-centered, passive-aggressive menace. I don't see sociopath in there any time soon.
She is very aware of feelings, others feelings, guilt, conscience, humanity. She just uses that for forces of evil lol

No. Kenneth isn't a sociopath.

I was surprised that Beatty (BB Psychologist) labelled him as one, although it is a common mistake for people to make
- so you shouldn't feel bad about being wrong ElProximo.

Kenneth is more likely to be a psychopath than a sociopath - the conditions are similar, sharing some attributes - however sociopaths are anti-social - it is sometimes referred to as Anti-Social Personality Disorder i.e. they serious lack social skills and are often isolated - kenneth clearly had social abilities- psychopaths however have no problem with social skills (until they chainsaw your head off)

I'd say it was more of a wild stab in the dark. Sociopath is a bit of a strong diagnosis for someone you've only seen on telly for a couple of hours.

[coolestrocknrollstar]

a big difference is that psychopath are more ordered a sociopath are less organized,,,,a psycopath can live amongst ppl and u would never know it,,,but a sociopath are more of a loner type,,,,
psycopaths will tend to plan crimes, a sociopath tend to just do it and leave evidence

[bigmalky]

It's more like the signs of narcissism. She doesn't care for anyone and needs attention. Read the seven signs and judge for yourself.

It's funny, as soon as BB goes on air, everyone's a psychologist.

i agree i think most of the ppl in there are narcissists,,,however a classic case of this was noirin,,,she manipulated the whole house around her finger to make her feel beeter about herself then ditched ppl when they were no use to her

[BONNEIP]

No she's a backstabbing tart, of the more money than sense type.
She can't keep a job no wonder, anyone who tries to get to know her get's done over. She's a ME ME of the highest catagory.

[bigmalky]

This is professionally termed... Narcissist lol

"She's a ME ME of the highest catagory" this is essentially what narcissism is

Yeah, but usually only by '£125-an-hour-for-ten-one-hour-sessions...' type professionals.

I think all the pigeon holes she's been shoved into on this thread are a little narrow. All that's clear is that she's a selfish, spoilt, duplicitous cow.

Eh.. well no I would suggest you have this wrong. Sociopaths are (as the BB doctor mentioned) actually well-suited to being very successful in business for example.
Kenneth is an example.

Somewhere you are getting confused and think 'sociopath' is a 'loner' or 'anti-social' (and they might be yes),
versus,
psychopath.

Seriously, I know what I'm telling you and the Psych on the BB panel was entirely correct.
He really was describing it correctly as is the commonly accepted term and definition.
