One of the big problems is that we come as we are, and we think that everyone else must be like us in some ways.

Do sociopaths, who basically have no way to connect with other people, see that they aren't like other people? Obviously they realize it at some point, although seeing outside their narcissistic bubble is another challenge.

I guess we could always ask Cheney- "When did you realize you were a Monster?"
