He's a sociopath.

He hates his mother, and his step-mother, the latter because she favored his half-brother over him. He's talked several times about his hatred for his mother.

He must be on something - always jerking, randomly making weird noises, saying things and then forgetting what he's saying. He's admitted he used to "have fun with the bong" a lot, but doesn't anymore, but did spend his lunch hour buying "special ethnic cigarettes" from a sketch area of town.

He says he's trying to quit smoking, but I know he's not. I've been there, that's not what gets me. At the firm, we have a smoking cessation program, where the insurance will pay for things like patches and gum to help someone quit smoking. This guy asked if hynoptism was covered; it's not. He said hypnotism has helped him a lot in the past, especially with his "severe anger problems" that would cause him to lash out at everyone.

And I'm stuck in this room with him every day.

My new coworker is a sociopath.
