#11 Isolation: Social Isolation, Part Two
Description
In addition to people who suffer from social anxiety—a difficulty with or an inability to interact with other people, social isolation is common among sociopaths—people who lack empathy. A notable pattern among serial killers, for instance, is that they were isolated from their peers when they were children. Some were fat kids, teased remorselessly. Others suffered from undiagnosed or misunderstood learning disabilities, or they were klutzy, or they started at the school mid-semester—for whatever reason, they were mocked or shunned or bullied. Something happened to these children that kept them from belonging, and they never learned how to create rapport, handle criticism, or identify with other people’s suffering.
