Of course, one should caution not to perform psychological diagnoses on people by remote, and especially if one is not a trained professional
But it doesn't take a Carl Jung to figure out that there is something really wrong with him. Now I'm not going to say, without a doubt, that the man is by all means a sociopath, I will say that the things that are on the record that he has said and done which does coincide with a clear description of sociopathic tendencies.
Such as:
Displays heightened levels of deceitfulness in dealings with others, which involves lying, conning others without remorse, or even using aliases
Inability to abide by the social norms and thus violating law
Displays aggressiveness and often tends to get into assaults and physical fights
Displays complete lack of empathy for others and their situation for which they are responsible
Displays no feelings or shallow feelings
Displays impulsive behavior which is indicated by the inability to plan for the future
Displays no concern for safety of others around them or self
Inability to sustain a consistent behavior that stems mainly from irresponsibility especially at work place or in other dealings
Displays promiscuous behavior

I put in bold the things that I've observed.
The best thing, by far, was the fact that the judge at his hearing ordered that his guns are to be removed from him. Not to mention the order to stay away from his "girlfriend."
But, if he's further able to walk the streets it'll only be a matter of time before he glibly puts someone else's life in jeopardy. It's plainly obvious that Zimmerman is a ticking time bomb.
What is most troubling is that there is very little that anyone thinks that they can do about him.

But, frankly, maybe the best thing to do is to simply not pretend to make diagnoses from long-distance, because diagnoses require both the training and experience to make them and direct interaction with the object of that consideration.
What's not at all in doubt is that Zimmerman manifests bad behavior. What that should be labelled is for the professionals who he might benefit from interacting with.

(118,642 posts)because he wanted to be a hero and got in over his head. That at the very least it was manslaughter. Now I finally believe Zimmerman lied completely to the police about what happened with Trayvon. I guess Im still a polyanna.

(73,631 posts)Telling him how "suspicious" he thought Martin looked walking down the street.
That was the set up for his alibi in case something went wrong.
Too many people were suckered into it.

Yep, beginning to see a sociopath pattern.

(10,952 posts)behavior which is indicated by the inability to plan for the future" should have also been hi-lighted.
There seems to be no evidence that this guy has done anything to get this act together and have some type of game plan for his life. He gives every evidence of just rocketing from one incident with the law to the next.
