Main reason for sociopathy is not loneliness. Main reason is physical neglect and abuse. And sometimes physical damage to brain (https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2019.00346/full)

yeah not just that but it can also be hereditary. even depression and trauma can be passed on through generations. its so fucked up how some are just born into this condition.

True but this would be called psychopath then. In popular science at least.

More correctly though both sociopaths and psychopaths would be diagnosed as humans with antisocial personality disorder.

And as such it is often hereditary and I agree 100%.
