User blog comment:Levifandom101/Is Levi a sociopath?/@comment-25047329-20141208002820

I’ve seen this debate a few times, but Levi never came across as a  sociopath to me. He’s definitely not the most saintly of people nor the most socially graceful, but being a sociopath implies that he has little to no regard for human lives what so ever. Which has been shown plenty of times to not be true. Levi is one of those people that can “turn off his humanity” when he needs to, but it’s definitely there. He has no problem beating the snot out of someone if he feels that the “ends justify the means” (beating up Eren was to save his life in the long run and he had to make it look convincing) but considering his reasoning and the fact that he does care about other people, I’m hard pressed to call him a sociopath. Considering all the other things he’s seen, been through, and done, I wouldn’t be surprised if he had some other latent issues though.
