Is my roommate a sociopath?

Family money? Anyways, folks like your room mate can't stand up to close examination so, if he actually has to work with any of the folks he tries to scam, they'll know in a hurry. If he sticks to hands off minor league scamming, well, there's one born every minute. Get a new room mate.

He would date girls with money.

His car in highschool was paid by his gf's parents, as was his entire college tuition.

This is absolutely true, and I thought this would probably come up eventually.

That's the other thing that makes it hard to think about stuff like this, because I definitely am biased.

I've openly told him that I'm bitter about his lifestyle. The guy never tried his whole life and is now making 6 figures while he works from home 5 hours a day (tops).

What's he do? Why don't you do it? Is it illegal?

Sounds like you guys all need you own places IMO.

I don't know but after reading that site, I think I may be a little bit of a sociopath... Thanks for fucking my day up!

Lol cat.

That site only confirmed what i already knew :awe:

No, nothing illegal. He is just a good salesman for a well known company.

We're all very successful for being in our 20s.

Yes, I do need to get out.

lol wtf? He's very successful in his career yet he's still living with plenty of people in some house? Mkaayy... So he is successful in the sense that he finally went from frying chicken to working at the front counter?

?? I guess I'm not sure what you're getting at.

We all are in our mid 20s. None of us have been done with school for more than 2 years, so naturally we live with other guys our age.

Having roommates and making money are not mutual exclusives.

For a sociopath they are. If you're a sociopath you probably don't want to live with others because they only get in your way of your awesomeness... :awe:

I never understood how your average joe could "cheat their way" to money and success. If there's a fool-proof method to do so, I'd really love to hear it.

You have put me in the awkward position of partially agreeing with TridenT.

I am approximately your age, and out of all the people roughly my age that I know (coworkers, people I graduated with, myself, etc.), only a handful opted to have roommates after graduation. None of these are hugely wealthy people, although they are all reasonably well-off.

Not saying it's insane to have roommates, but it did strike me as odd, especially since your roommate could easily afford to live on his own. And honestly, not having roommates has substantial perks (for instance, not having to deal with people like your roommate every day).

To the original point, your roommate sounds like a douche. If the following is accurate:

He often will act one way towards a person, then the minute they walk away he will express how he really feels. It is very common to "put on a front" for people in this manner.

... and extends beyond the basic sort of politeness that is normal (and somewhat necessary), then that is enough.
