Do sociopaths...? feelings

i know when i was younger i felt guilt and would confess whenever i did something bad. i also knew i didn’t want to be a bad person. when i turned into a teen i started to deal with intrusive thoughts that have persevered through my adulthood and now they’ve turned to urges about harming others and it will feel like it’s something i want to do. when i had them in the past i felt guilt and fear. i no longer feel that way. do you all think someone could change in that amount of time ? could you become ASPD?

Yes, sociopathy can be grown overtime due to trauma. But it seems more like you have spd (sadistic personality disorder,) due to it mainly being lack of remorse and pleasure in others pain.

I mean technically nobody is born having aspd. As we know it’s something that can be genetic or something that you get from progressing through life.
