Do you think narcissists and sociopaths are born that way or do you think their circumstances molded them to be the way they are ??

It depends on many things
Their environment, how they were treated by their caretakers /parents
..also it could be a neurological issue

I watched an interesting documentary many years ago. It was about sociopaths and psycopaths . They were looking at mri scans of a " normal " brain and compared to the brain of a psychopath. There is definitely a difference. Turned out this doctor in the documentary did one of these brain scans and his resembled that of the psychopath brain. He explained he had a wonderful upbringing with loving and supportive parents and perhaps that had something to do with how he turned out doing well . It was just interesting.

@catastrophecarnival My sisters say their brain scans are abnormal and both have severe personality disorders. I had seizures as a child and although I didn’t ever say it I thought I would be the one out 4 sisters to have those problems. They call me the “Lucky One.” My sisters were doted on and I was treated as the worker child of the family
