4. A common sign of a sociopath is that the individual will treat you differently at different times, without any reason or explanation. One day or one morning they may act one way, and then that evening or the next day their attitude toward you may have changed completely without any reason.

5. Another one of the signs to watch for if you want to avoid dealing with a sociopath is someone who tends to externalize blame and never accepts responsibility for their own shortcomings and actions.
