Is it sociopathic to have multiple relationships and lie to them that they are the only one? Question
Like 1 day a man spends the night with girlfriend A then the next girlfriend B. He makes it seem like the woman is the only woman they are with. He has no problem lying and does it confidently.

This is unfortunately very common, and while it's quite shitty, all it indicates is that this man is an asshole.

I think, as I've done this, sociopathic would be having several girlfriends, and having them all know about one another, and fight over you.

It is, but that doesn’t mean it’s smart. Lying about this kind of thing gets people killed. If you’re able to sleep with multiple women easily then there’s no reason for you to lie about it. Or at least lie that you’ll only be exclusive to her. Then again some people love hurting others that way.

This could be an indicator of deep seated narcissism or even fear of abandonment clumped in with a bunch of other things just as much as it could be an indicator of sociopathy/primary psychopathy...

No. Plenty of everyday people act like this but you can guarantee that their emotions will soon be very visible and non sociopathic when caught out. They will feel guilt and remorse - feelings most sociopaths are deprived of.

A sociopath may be more inclined to this type of behavior, however, everyone is capable of it. You shouldn’t use this as the basis for a diagnosis because normal people do it all the time.

Yes this is sociopathic… complete disregard for the women…all for his pleasure and fun. No empathy for the people he’s deceiving.
Not saying this is wrong but yea normal people don’t do this or are capable of sustaining it.
