[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 640933, member: 11791"] Well... JMO, based on experience with extended family... Being raised by someone with sociopathic tendencies is one of the risk factors for becoming a sociopath. Therefore, the number of people who are sociopaths would tend to increase over time, if this were the only factor. (nothing exists in isolation) The degradation of society as a whole tends to support narcissism and sociopathy. The strength of extended family, community, etc. that used to help provide some balance and external resources for young people growing up... is mostly gone. As a result, tendencies that might have been mitigated a generation or two back, go unchecked now - not necessarily unrecognized, but no resources to deal with. And THEN you add in addictions and their impact and... yes, I do believe that if one has sociopathic tendencies at all, the use of addictive substances will make it worse. [/QUOTE]
