Bill Cosby: A Sociopath?
There are only two kinds of
people in this world; those who have a conscience and those who do not.”
–P.
A. Speers
Bill Cosby has been showered in the news lately with
accusations of being a serial rapist. How can this be? America’s role model of
a wholesome, wonderful father and husband is now being accused of giving pills
to young women and sexually assaulting them while they were under the influence
of these pills. Could this be true? Bill
Cosby? THE Bill Cosby?
If these accusations are true, then you, my friend,
are witnessing the traits of a Type 1 sociopath.
While Type 1 sociopaths rarely do anything
illegal, they might if they believe they can get away with it.
Type 1
sociopaths are individuals who, like the sociopath, do not have a conscience.
If they do, it’s a sliver of one. The emotions of love, empathy, and guilt are
foreign to them. To blend in with society, they’ve had to learn to appear as
though they feel these emotions, by studying the behaviors of those who do.
Unlike
the obvious harmful desires of the other conscienceless personality disorders,
these individuals rarely have desires to control the masses, mug tourists, break
into houses or businesses, murder, molest children, or commit sexual assaults.
Instead, they live quietly among us, under the radar: charming, empowering,
uplifting, entertaining, and inspiring individuals while in the shadows taking
secret delight in confusing, conning, inconveniencing, disappointing, hurting,
and/or disempowering the selected few under their gentle control.
The
Type 1 sociopath can be:
•
The needy friend or family member
•
The friend who uses you
•
The belittling boss
•
The coworker or friend who steals your ideas
•
The preacher or religious follower who uses religion as a weapon
•
The teacher who seems to delight in humiliating his or her students
•
The therapist who makes you feel bad about yourself
•
The government worker who treats you rudely and makes you jump through
unnecessary hoops to obtain what you need
•
The hacker who hacks into your email or Facebook to cause mischief
•
The person who loves to give bad reviews via online of books, businesses, and
whatever else that appeals to them under the cloak of a fake name
•
The intimidating and belittling administrator in the school office
• The consultant who conned you out of your
personal information or money and then disappeared
• The friend who conned you out of a few hundred
dollars and never mentions it
• The employee who always turns in his or her
work at the very last minute
• The parent who uses his or her children or
adorable pets to get what they want from others
• The friend or coworker who loves to gossip
about others behind closed doors and cause division
• The friend
or family member who uses
your pity to guilt you into getting what they want from you
• The friend who places drugs in your drink and secretly
sexually assaults you
Type
1 sociopaths often have illusive and vague communication styles and can need
constant stimulation.
Sociopaths may be charming, irresistibly sexy, and attractive. They may have a quick wit
that stimulates your intellectual mind, or have the ability to make you feel on
top of the world with their empowering and inspiring words. Additionally, they
may have the gift to make you burst into laughter with their incredible sense
of humor.
Type 1 sociopaths
stay invisible by showing everyone around them their charming, wonderful,
gifted side.
They reveal their darker sides only to those carefully selected few whom they
have evaluated as vulnerable, powerless, and of having low self-worth.
These
individuals can be so charming and talented they have attracted a huge fan base
who will never believe any accusations against them.
This may be the case of Bill Cosby. If these accusations are true, then here are some typical traits of a Type 1 sociopath Bill Cosby has:
Bill Cosby is extremely charming and
has a great gift to make people laugh.
Sociopaths can be extremely charming,
funny, irresistibly sexy, and/or attractive. They may have a quick wit that
stimulates your intellectual mind, or have the ability to make you feel on top
of the world with their empowering and inspiring words. Additionally, they may have the gift to make
you burst into laughter with their incredible sense of humor.

Bill Cosby is famous and in a position
of power and prestige.
Type
1 Sociopaths seek power positions such as therapists, coaches, teachers, etc.
• • •
Bill Cosby has everyone believing he
is Mr. Wonderful while under the radar, he had a few vulnerable young girls
with low self-esteem (most likely) whom he has played with for his pleasure.
Who would believe their story? He’s America’s Mr. Wonderful and they are young
actresses and models trying to get into show business.
Type
1 Sociopaths desire everyone to believe they are wonderful while in the shadows
they take secret delight in confusing, conning, inconveniencing, disappointing,
hurting, and/or disempowering the selected few under their gentle control.

Bill Cosby didn’t care about
devastating these young ladies or cheating on his wife.
If he did indeed assault these women,
then it would be impossible for him to actually care about them or their
feelings – he would have no conscience. And Type 1 sociopaths often cheat on
their spouses.
There is a
possibility that Bill Cosby, if guilty, is a closet psychopath as his assaults were
calculated. He most likely planned these assaults and probably made strategic
plans to keep his secrets from his family.
I love Bill
Cosby. My father passed when I was 10 months old and Bill was somewhat of a
father figure to me. I remember listening to Bill Cosby comedy albums when I
was in the fifth grade. My teacher would play them for us at recess. I loved The
Cosby Show and I’ve been watching episodes of this show on youtube to relax to
wholesome, fun entertainment - I even included this show as an example of a healthy family to watch in Type 1 Sociopath under the chapter titled "Defining a Healthy Relationship". NOW THIS! UGH!
I do hope
these allegations are part of some horrible conspiracy and he is proven
innocent. My heart wants this so much to be true! However, with my awareness
and knowledge of sociopaths and with so many women coming forward– it most
likely is the truth, unless these women are all conscienceless. Wouldn’t that
be something! May the truth be revealed and nothing but the truth.
I encourage
you to know all you can about the traits of sociopathy. If Bill
Cosby is guilty of these allegations, I encourage you to come to your own
conclusion of whether or not you believe Bill Cosby is a Type 1 sociopath,
sociopath, or psychopath. In your research, you may
discover that some of the difficult people in your life right now may be more
than just difficult people. They may be sociopaths.
