Book review: Confessions of a Sociopath (M. E. Thomas)

Posted on February 20, 2016 by luckyotter

A couple of weeks ago I went to a yard sale and a book caught my eye, because of its subject matter–a copy of M. E. Thomas’ autobiography, Confessions of a Sociopath: a Life Spent Hiding in Plain Sight.

Ever-fascinated with all things Cluster B, including first-person accounts by narcissists, psychopaths and other antisocial types, I got busy reading that same evening. It took me two weeks to finish the book, when normally I’d devour a book of this length and subject matter in just a few days.

I’m sorry to say, this book was a disappointment. It was a long, painful, boring read. First of all, Ms. Thomas isn’t a very good writer. Full of run-on sentences and endless, dull descriptions of how great she thinks she is because she lacks empathy and a conscience (she seems to think of these as traits only weak or stupid people have, reminding me of Ayn Rand without an iota of the latter’s intelligence), Thomas comes off more as an obnoxious, self-centered, common narcissist than a true sociopath.

Thomas (who owns the website Sociopath World) is not a criminal. She may well be sociopathic in that she seems to take pleasure in cheating, manipulating, hurting, and discarding others, once gleefully watched a possum drown, and admits she enjoys ruining the reputations of people she has worked with. She clearly has no empathy and seems to have no emotions. She crows on endlessly about how her lack of a conscience or any empathy has freed her from having to worry about what others think and therefore indicates what she thinks of as her superior intellect. But like the narcissist she really is, she overvalues her achievements and intelligence. She works as an attorney but doesn’t seem to be able to stay employed for long, and really doesn’t have any other impressive achievements under her belt. Her “theories” about sociopathy are nothing more than rehashes of what other people have already described in psychology texts, and less readable than theirs. Overall, Thomas comes off as self-congratulating, obnoxious, unlikeable, and very shallow. She also comes off as rather dumb.

M. E. Thomas is clearly a malignant narcissist, but by calling herself a “sociopath” you feel like you’ve been the victim of a bait-and-switch (which is in itself sociopathic, I suppose). The cover of the book is a picture of a sinister female mask on a white background, and you open the book expecting something more than you actually get, at least some sort of depth or insight into her own behavior. But Thomas has no real insight and the book reads more like a resume of her fake “achievements” than a dark psychological memoir. She talks about her family, who she describes as neglectful, but she doesn’t seem to think they were particularly abusive. She takes arrogant pride in her “sociopathy,” repeating the word again and again throughout the text, as if to drive home the fact that she really is one, when it seems that she “protesteth too much” and underneath all that bluster, suspects she may not be. That kind of insecurity over the possibility of not really being what one says they are is a lot more typical of NPD than psychopathy or sociopathy, who don’t care what others think of them. Thomas also talks about wanting to have a family and her religion (Mormonism) a lot. Maybe her religion keeps her from acting out against others in more heinous ways and gives her a sort of “cold” conscience that keeps her out of prison, but I sure hope God doesn’t let her have children. She doesn’t seem capable of maintaining a relationship, so that doesn’t exactly work in her favor.

Although narcissists are thought of as having no emotions, it isn’t really true that they don’t, and there are narcissists and sociopaths who have been able to write about themselves in an emotionally engaging, albeit dark and depressing, way. There is rage and hurt and despair seething behind the surface of their words. But Thomas writes in a cold, emotionless way, probably because she’s such a bad writer. As a result, you feel about as excited reading her “memoir” as you’d feel reading the most boring high school textbook–and learn a whole lot less.

The only reason I didn’t feel completely ripped off was because the yard sale copy of this book set me back only $1; if I’d purchased it at full price, I’d be pretty annoyed right now. It was all I could do to even finish this book. It was that boring. Don’t waste your time. If you want to read a good book about sociopathy, read Marsha Stout’s The Sociopath Next Door instead. If you really need to read something that comes “out of the horse’s mouth,” you’d do better with Sam Vaknin.

I took this one out of the library and never finished it. In fact I’d just gotten started, got bored and took it back before the due date.

She struck me as a phony too, although I do believe (if the drowning rodent story is true) that she has no empathy. She just struck me as the type who is cashing in on something trending right now.

I think I got as far as where she talked about the women (or was it just one woman) she got involved with from work and left them hurt, wounded and pining. I remember thinking who would pine over this person? I just felt disgusted and as you said bored because the writing was awful.

I saw her on Dr. Phil and he called her out for not being a sociopath. If I had remembered that I wouldn’t have even gotten her book from the library! She is SO boring and a phony!!!

  WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING? What is PDA autism? What you describe (PDA autism) sounds a lot like covert NPD. As for Vaknin, I’m not a big fan of the man either but but at least he’s a good writer. Many victims have found his books helpful in spite of the fact he is a diagnosed narcissist. As for Martha Stout, I agree with you her book is flawed but how do you know she is a sociopath/psychopath? I’m not trying to be a smartass but I’m really interested in your answers.

      I would never go to Vaknin for therapy (yikes!), or get involved in his discussion groups, but his written material on the subject is useful if you approach it with healthy skepticism and read the works of others also. It gives you a look at what it feels like to be a narcissist from inside the head of one. I would suggest to others not to rely on him for the full picture of NPD (I’m not one of his groupies), but use it in conjunction with the opinions of psychologists and survivors of narcissistic abuse for a fuller picture.

  Thank you for the links, I will be reading up on this. I never heard of PDA autism before. I’m sorry you had to go through all that crap and you developed a character disorder because of it. It’s a common belief that autism/Aspergers people lack empathy, but I don’t think that’s really true. In fact, many Aspies I know are so overwhelmed by the emotions of others around them that thye have to leave the room or act inappropriately, but it’s not because of lack of empathy, it’s because they don’t have the social skills to cope with the emotions they do feel. Do you believe you really have ASPD, and if so, what sort of emotions do you experience? It sounds like you have lots of anger. I can’t say I blame you for that but what do you do about it? Sorry about all the ?s but you’ve raised some interesting points here.

      I don’t think you can just “get ASPD” in prison (as an adult anyway) but I can see why acting as if you do might save your life if you’re stuck in prison with a bunch of real antisocials and sociopaths. I think ASPD is something you develop when very young or not at all, but to survive you might have to act as if, in certain situations if your life is in danger.
      I agree with you many in the psychiatric profession are psychopathic, narcissistic or antisocial, but not all are. My therapist is definitely not any of those but he’s a social worker, not a psychiatrist. Although they aren’t qualified to prescribe meds, I think social workers are more likely to be empaths and truly want to help, since they’re certainly not doing it for the money.

    the psychs have a code too, one more to share cluster b, svere, pathological, , co morbid,,yu hear these words? yur likely delaing with a monster ,, of structural nature,,, pparaphilias that arent mentioned so as not to accentuate..the dsm is a therpaeutic book,,its guesswork for bad drug dealers for the most part,,,
    used right? it does no harm,,used worng or insightlessly ? destroys lives..
    it was read and learned by my psychopathic folks before they handed me over,,they knew just what to say,,,they wanted to use me as atest case for them and their autism…i was just copying them though…and only round them,, i was growing and evelopeing normally ,,,if somewhat misbehvaed and a bit angry..
    they took the anger amplified it and fed me to the doctors as aproxy…they wanted me to be autristic,, i wsnt,,, they never mentioned it again but there was a time where they were suggesting it for me..
    but it was bollocks.. maybe maybe maye just ,mildy aspergers..
    im good with tools and an engine and i can focus fo r a long time but its not that natural,,, took a world of work and reading to get close to the fgast processing speedof apserges..
    my father so quick yet empty in converstaion ,,,he will steasl your own thought sinb a second and sell them back to yo aggendised..

You know how N’s lie because they don’t like the truths? We know that. What do you call it when the N(probably a socio or psychopath in this example), makes the lie come true? For example, they say something today which is absurd or highly unlikely to happen. But then, IT HAPPENS. And you just know they were somehow responsible. For example, an attractive female scapegoat who turns heads out in public. The N says to that scapegoat, “No man likes you!” And you say to yourself, that’s not true, but don’t challenge him, let him have his opinion. And then 1-2 years later the woman finds herself somewhat disfigured. I have several examples like that. N mo saying I wouldnt be able to afford the healthcare I needed, or if I should ever be poor. At the time, no hint of those things. Couple of years later I’m ill, poor, alone and not a head turner anymore.

  Unfortunately, I think this happens all the time with N’s. They orchestrate things to make an outcome true. A lot of time they accomplish this through triangulation and gaslighting (for example, a narc husband who tells his abused wife no one likes her and then proceeds to turn everyone against her and make himself out to be the real victim through his lies).

    Thank you. Don’t forget about Munchausens by Proxy. I guess the laymans term for that is poisoning but that sounds too delusional. Yes P’s are known for controlling your soft drinks. Things like the black market IS out there. Google is a blessing in disguise because if the information gets into the wrong hands, that’s not good. Another female in the group that I was formerly a part of also became disfigured in the same way. My belief is that it was done to make the budding head narc female the most, even though in my opinion, she was more lesser to start with. First off, I trusted the people I was with. Secondly I never in my wildest dreams imagined such a thing.

  self fulfilling prophecies have the most awful power…
  if you believe they do.
  What im trying to say is that the psychopath… for that is surely what you have come into contact with,,,,no sociopath could leave you quite so cold,,
  yud long for his lost soul,,,etc…
  yud miss the slver of person that yu were attracted to..
  but yu were attrcated to the lie,,,
  that menas psychopath for sure or severely enabled pda autist.
  not a sociopath,,,yu didnt lodse him to drugs or ssle fesctrution or jail or war or suicide?
  yu lost him ot himslef,,
  and stop projecting , its all about you..
  or i cant tell if it is,,,the detactchment in the first bit is that the first half of the second bit??
  is ithe “my fiends got thsi proiblem” speech im reading or are yu asking spoecifically for yur quite confusing example..

  beauty is in the eye ive always thought ,

  there is also one mor type of narcissim…figure out yur monster?? yu will know how to protect yurslef andothers from them,,,dont try to generalise,,,the deisres of these bastards are simple but their selection of victimns/ their assessment? their type?
  can be quite complex and carefully planned..
  you ned to look back to older relationships..
  look whay you were open to this,,, learn about yourslef,, the things you wnated you THOUGHT he /she offered…the thing syou were forced to put up with that you shouldnt of to get those things,,,
  you have a right to them..to be loved , to be cared for, to have your empathy recognised and reciprocated,,,to have friends,, to have money , to be someone..
  to be with people.,.
  you have those rights ,,,and those deisres,,
  and a right to fulfill them without any sort of compromise..
  and sadly thats what yu did,, but in realising that?
  yu wont make the same mistake again..
  and yud be surprised at how attractive confidence can be..

    Thank you. I guess what I was saying is that there have been numerous losses I’m starting to worry about the future. For example, if a person was disfigured, they probably have some money in the bank or supportive family. My own person was about all I had left.
