Psychopath Vs Sociopath | How To Spot The Difference And Why You Need to Know This

[@AgentFulgoreBasedDepartment]

as someone who has been diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder (and meets almost all of the criteria for psychopathy - scored a 34 / 40 on the PCL-R), i'd definitely choose pickpocketing / swiping from a purse (and not saying anything) over violent robbery lol but i would feel absolutely no guilt or remorse, so i still fall into the former.

[@danlightened]

​@@mrskulllockHow do people always steal from you? Have you tried doing something?

[@crashburn3292]

I always keep the difference clear by remembering: * A psychopath will lie to you about anything and pretend they care. * A sociopath will not usually lie and make it very clear that they don't care.

[@dbison2953]

Not really I've done both and I'm not any of them. All these studies are complete bullshit as they all assume we as humans have to live by some code of conduct which we write in to law so that we can control our natural argues. As a result we all get judged by those standards, which we all just copy of one another. But deep down their ain't no standards.

[@cheyenne3603]

A Psychopath and A Sociopath is kind of the same they also have the Same type of mental behavior

[@officiallylauralegendary]

A psychopath does actually care. A sociopath does not. A sociopath lies and is very vindictive, absolutely no feeling.

[@MADpsionics]

Psychopaths target a type of people, Sociopaths target a type of society. So to Psychopaths a lie to people doesn't matter as long as a behavior they want is reached. Sociopaths care only by the type of society so lying is precious. To use it timely and wisely is how their lies impact people more. Yet the key part of this is that to be a Psychopath or Sociopath is consistency. Everyone has psychotic or social episodes. Yet if the entirety of their story is like that example a genre then be forewarned

[@danielkaiser8971]

@@officiallylauralegendary No. Psychopaths lack empathy but are masters of manipulation by acting like they care, or acting out any feeling that will manipulate others. Sociopaths have a limited range of emotions but what they feel is sincere.

[@Kalashee]

Here’s how I differentiate the two: -A sociopath *doesn’t* care. -A psychopath *can’t* care.

[@PandaHead602]

Perfect

[@imhere49]

This is an oversimplification, the video is an oversimplification. It's a spectrum on brain architecture. Some feel less emotion but don't ignore what is there. Many even follow a strict moral code guided by logical laws. Psychopaths often do care alot

[@imhere49]

The reason why this os wrong is because the majority of psychopaths studied are from criminal institutions. The ones who are trying to find balance and do good by defining the world logically aren't often studied

[@Kalashee]

@@imhere49 Ironically enough, no one cares, my guy. Neither of them are the kind of people you really want in your friend circle or aspire to be like. So except on the basis of being anal about scientific accuracy, who really cares all that much?

[@imhere49]

@Kalashee because they are high functioning and the reason society even made it this far as a civilization. You may not want them as friends but they are better friends than you'd know. In fact, I wouldn't doubt if you have a good friend that is one and you just don't know.

[@rickpowers3677]

I had a psychology class back in my school days taught by a person who had a doctorate in psychology. He said the difference in simplest terms was that a sociopath can't differentiate between right and wrong because they think its all just point of view, and in their minds they can rationalize anything they do as to why it was the right thing. A psycho path just doesn't care about right or wrong.

[@candacesmith8708]

That's very helpful... 👍

[@lisakuntzman7017]

I am certain that you have explained this for those who didn't quite get the video or they haven't had to deal with a close family member when they were the child, thank the stars ✨. I feel like this is actually right on. Even compared to my college courses and the textbook descriptions However this was in 1983 and 1984. many 🌙 moons ago

[@AndyAcker]

That's very succinct. And it strikes me that the character of Walter White in Breaking Bad, though he can be very strategic, is most likely an impulsive sociopath. He feels empathy and emotions, and is deeply conflicted, but is also highly antisocial and acts on sudden and overwhelmingly powerful emotions regularly.

[@philsurtees]

Given that there's no such thing as a psychopath in psychology, that seems highly unlikely.

[@Rachel_M_]

I had a similar explanation years ago from a Psychology tutor

[@cydonian0417]

The best explanation ive heard as to why some (most?) people with psychopathic traits never become 'dangerous' (i.e., serial killers) is that genetics loads the gun but the environment pulls the trigger.

[@stevekaylor5606]

As reported in the Niagara Falls Reporter in 2012 - "Mass Shooters are often on Psychiatric Drugs, but this is rarely reported in the Media." Also in 2012, Psychiatrist Allen Francis stated on T.V.: "Psy Drugs cause mass shootings!" Francis was the top player in putting together DSM-4 - since then he has become more comprehensive!

[@frankconnor4969]

Where in that metaphore does personal responsibility come in?

[@Tyrfingr]

@@frankconnor4969 It doesn't. With a condition of psychopathy, personal responsibility is to yourself alone.

[@wildliferox2]

Some of the issues not explored include the concept of spectrum or tendancies. We could have a sudden explosion of rage at a family or social event, brought on by total frustration; feeling no one understands things from our perspective, panic that we are not in control, that others can't see what they are doing is driving us totally nuts, that the world is in total denial of what we ourselves perceive to be true. The outburst might even risk becoming violent. This might be perceived as sociopathic behaviour, but might only be exhibited once in a blue moon. Would this person be categorised as sociopathic or someone who occasionally exhibits such behaviour? Would not anyone in the same circumstances feel and react the same way? If we commonly behave the same way under the same circumstances why then distinguish it as a separate mental disease? On a separate point, the presentation devoted over three quarters of the time to psychopathy and only a quarter of the time or thereabouts to sociopathy. Did I just admit to feeling hard done by?!

[@larryc1616]

Like pitbulls, Psychopaths can snap and go ape-shit without warning. Like that lawyer Alex Murdock stole millions from his law firm and then killed his wife and son so they wouldn't know about his crimes. Perfectly normal for a psychopath.

[@Youre_Right]

I was close with a psychopath. They were a family member. They did not like being a psychopath. They wanted to feel emotions. She knew I loved and cared about her, but she didn’t feel those feelings towards me. She wanted to and hated that she didn’t. So not all psychopaths are evil and enjoy that they can’t connect on an emotional level.

[@philipnikolayev987]

An inability to feel love in general or to feel love for a specific person is not necessarily a symptom of psychopathy. The distinguishing trait is a lack of empathy, pity and guilt.

[@jeanettw2341]

@pug ASPD is a literal spectrum. You're not capable of just looking at the flat symptoms of any disorder and just go "Oh, this is how they HAVE to behave". Some people with ASPD are entirely aware of their conditions and actively try to improve themselves, as it's an extremely hollow existence.

[@jeanettw2341]

@pug Yeah that's true. ASPD in general can be mistaken as a lot of things, and a lot of things can be mistaken as ASPD. Certain types of PTSD manifest close to ASPD, same with certain types of autism. That's why going by a textbook definition never works, because a book shows no nuance.

[@Eforero83]

As the video said psychopaths are expert manipulators; lairs too. It's about power to them. The thrill of it in wielding it for their own selfish ambitions. The power and authority to arrest people--who would dare challenge them? The power and honor to save them, specially through means of surgery. And the power and lucrativeness in knowing the law to set people's very fate and freedom in their hands. CEOs are indeed sought after because by their callous indifference they can easily make those corporate cut throat decisions that many, if not most of us, would aguishly to make, specially when it comes to profits/corporate interest vs people's lives & jobs. Still, it IS unnerving. I feel you.

I a guy I went to highschool with and was briefly fooled by was a psychopath. He was so good at masking. One day we were at his grand parent's house. He had me head up the stairs to his bedroom first. In the doorway I stopped and turned to look at him and the temperature of the room dropped by like ten degrees and his eyes were absolutely empty. I was terrified. Nothing happened to me thank God but is mask fell hard a few months later. He got a group together like Manson and they lured a dear friend to a secluded park by the river and beat him to death. That takes time and is very personal because every scream and every plea is an OPP to register your failing humanity. After his arrest there were still foolish infatuated girls who tried to say he was innocent and would never. I told them they were delusional and it is absolutely terrifying to be alone with a psychopath when they chose to let the mask slip. I get chills to this day and it so painful to think of how scared and alone Scott felt crying out for help that never came. He was his mother's only baby. He was so kind. He used to wait by choir just to give me a hug and ask about my day. He was like a big brother to me and those monsters will never be forgiven.

Not all psychopaths are criminals. However, psychopathic criminals are especially dangerous, because psychopaths act out their impulses free from inhibition, conscience, or remorse. If a psychopath thinks torturing kittens is funny, they will spend their time doing that, because they only care about fulfilling their "needs" (Lack of inhibition), they don't see why they shouldn't be hurting others (Lack of conscience), and they don't feel sorry even if they're caught in the act and punished (Lack of remorse).

Sociopaths if they have empathy, it is genuine because it is very hard for a sociopath but is possible and many will do anything to feel emotions, if they don’t they are probably worse than psychopaths because they don’t give a shit about yelling at the top of their lungs in your face

A friend of mine who did psychology once told me I’m a textbook example of an everyday psychopath, watching this video makes me wonder if I don’t in fact have ADHD and perhaps my friend was correct. Therefore I’d like to bring some extra context, I absolutely have feelings, however I find it very difficult to understand others’. I do take joy in manipulating people and I do often find it very easy but I don’t do it in a malicious way as I’m not nasty. I just find it difficult to empathise with how someone feels in response to something that I don’t personally have to experience. That being said, if somebody was to break their arm, I would feel sorry for them as I myself have broken my arm, but if someone was hit as a kid, I kind of don’t really care because I can’t relate to that.

I took an intro to psychology class in the early 2010's when I was in college and my professor (who is a PHD clinical psychologist) explained the discrepancies between a Psychopath and a Sociopath: 1. Sociopath has trouble diagnosing what is right and wrong while a psychopath knows what is right and wrong but they do not care about right and wrong. 2. A sociopath will sometimes feel remorse while a psychopath has no remorse or pretends to show remorse. 3. Psychopaths are more financially successful than sociopaths. For example, CEO's, politicians, doctors and lawyers are more likely to be psychopaths than sociopaths while insurance and real estate agents, chefs, and construction workers are more likely to be sociopaths than psychopaths. 4. Psychopaths are born while sociopaths are made. 5. Psychopaths are more dangerous than sociopaths because they can appear more normal than sociopaths. 6. Psychopaths are more charming and less nervous than sociopaths.

[@JonathonTheAsshole]

A psychopath would generally realize there is really no such thing as right or wrong and that the concept is a human construct used to govern weak minded people.

[@carmelnchocolate9]

This is actually the best description in my opinion

[@sneak9407]

Hey, I find it offensive that you say Psychopaths are more dangerous "because they can seem more normal" 1. Like do you want normal during work/interacting hours or not. 2. The sociopath won't respect agreement of friendly fire being off. Why is the psychopath that more of a danger when the sociopath will illogically cause you damage? Pretend to have remorse is better for third parties... at least they feel you are sorry. Sociopath will runover your dog and be like it shouldn't have been on the way. Psychopath will be like I didn't foresee this happening... and say: apologies sir/ma about running over your dog. Do you prefer to get into an argument after a tragedy just happened to you, or at least be told an apology. I don't see that as being more dangerous. Plus If a psychopath feels they can't get away with deleting another person for cause them (just or unjust) pain, they won't go ahead with it. A sociopath couldn't be bothered... your ass is going to learn today.

[@DigitalViscosity]

Having been diagnosed with ASPD and psychopathy, I can attest that it’s a daily struggle. As I’ve grown older, I’ve realized that my manipulative and compulsive lying tendencies don’t foster genuine friendships. In an effort to change, I decided to engage with people more empathetically. Over the years, I’ve made a conscious effort to ask others how they feel, especially when I’m unsure about social cues. It’s challenging-I often wonder if I’m inadvertently saying something abhorrent or being overbearing. However, it’s been about eight years since I last wove a web of lies and manipulation. Now, I have real friends without needing elaborate escape plans. It’s a liberating feeling, even if it means I once deceived someone into bending to my will.

All that is sensationalistic in nonsense. A recent study of serial killers actually showed they were lower in psychopathic traits than non serial killers. People will always talk bollocks on these things cos it's just a case of Chinese whispers. As more people talk about it they add false information born out of ignorance. Take a look at this quote from a study. "Why might murderers be less likely to be psychopaths than other types of criminal? The researchers suggest that while people high in psychopathy are more likely to commit a crime, murder is a special case. Yes, psychopathy has been linked to certain types of murder, especially the premeditated murder of a stranger or slim acquaintance. But most murders don't fall into this category. People kill others for all sorts of "reasons", from injured pride to a desire for revenge - and don't, it seems, need a high level of psychopathic or sadistic traits to be capable of doing this"-bps.org.uk

[@ChristenIman]

That’s an interesting statement. I’d like to know who was behind making such. All serial killer’s are NOT psychopathic.. Not having compassion nor remorse. There are various serial killer typologies to consider. The mission oriented type is little different than the average person. And then there is the sub-groups. Some can have jobs that they’re happy in and quite productive, respected for their contributions, families, children, feel love and compassion for animals and human beings. They can have a deep regard for nature, music et cetera. They follow societal norms (up to a certain point) Just like you or me. But this ends when it comes to those they’ve personally deemed unworthy of such humanism. They consider themselves as doing the job when the justice system has failed. They are the vigilante subtype. I’d go deeper into this.. But that will be your challenge if you truly wish to understand.

I had a student who was clearly psychopathic, but he may also, on top of that, been psychotic. An extremely disturbing individual. When it finally became clear to me that his weird behavior, his adrenaline addiction (always keeping himself angry in order to maintain an adrenaline high), his heartlessness, his posturing, and his lying weren't going to come to an end, I disattached myself from him as quickly as I could. He tried to separate me from my friends (I have no family), "tried to cut me out of the herd." And his ability to comprehend why others did what they did was badly flawed. I also had another "frie3nd" who was always reading plays, watching movies, and reading books to absorb how others behaved in various situations. She *memorized* GAMES PEOPLE PLAY, and continuously interpreted others' behavior in terms of "games." She seemed pleasant enough until you got to know her, and then her cruelty and her nasty behavior became obvious. As with the first individual, I finally realized I had to get away from her, because she was draining me of all my energy and hope. My adoptive father may have been a psychopath, nonviolent but heartless. My adoptive mother was extremely narcissistic, only praising me or showing affection toward me when she could take credit for my behavior, my talents and other abilities, and so on. Maybe growing up with the two of them is why I was such a magnet for bad people and bullies. So I tend to avoid people now whenever I can. People like that poison everything and everyone they interact with.

When I was a child I went through many traumatizing events. From seeing death first hand to physical, mental, and emotional abuse by my mother, sister and other peers. I grew up cold because of this. I didn't like people touching me and most people described me as cold and standoffish. I didn't like being around people, and I didn't care to make conversation that would just lead me to pretending to care about what was happening in their lives As I grew older, into my teens, I was constantly angry, or as professionals would later describe it 'quick to anger'. I first became aggressive towards my sister as a way to defend myself, but later, I actually enjoyed it. I became depressed at a certain point and tried to take my life on quite a few occasions. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression and Sld (a type of memory loss). After a while, I made some friends, but it felt off somehow? I was never able to keep a stable job due to my indifference. I've been in therapy since I was a kid and had been taking medications for said diagnosis. They made everything worse. I told my therapist as much, and she just insisted I give it time even after a year. I lashed out more and kept to myself to keep others safe, not liking who I was around them. I finally decided to speak to a specialist to figure out why I am the way I am. Turns out I am, in fact, a sociopath. I am now seeing a specialist regularly and am on the PROPER medication. I have never been happier in my life. I'm able to be around people and not feel any annoyance. I am able to feel regret, sympathy, empathy. I am able to manage my emotions in ways I never thought possible. I feel like a weight has been lifted. I have no interest in harming anyone or myself. I am able to understand actions and consequences as well, as this was something I used to really struggle with. I do sometimes wonder if I'll ever feel that deep connection, though. The one where you look at your loving parents and feel that emotional link or two people who feel like they have come together as one, or your child and feel that connection in your chest (soul). Some have desribed it as a ball of light, or happiness. Of true bonding. That's something I don't feel still. Somedays, I hate that I am me just for that. It's rather lonely sometimes. But before, I was always so confused by my own self, and now I know.

Probably at the end it matters more what actions one takes, then how ones brain is bundled. Amos Burton opened my eyes, that there could be more into psychopathy, than the clishees. As an autist myself (way more into logic, then into emotions, but my empathy exists) i think i probably could communicate with a psychopath on a meta way. but to be a friend one would have to be open with his intentions and clear with his actions. Because most of the "tricks" to manipulate people barely work on people like me, because they mostly attack over the emotional route. Anyway, if i ever meet a psychopath, that is open about that in real life, i wouldnt judge him anymore because of that. We are born how we are born, no faults and guilts with that.

[@TheSingingBUn]

I won't lie. I wondered over my childhood years, and to some extent, presently, pondering over why I couldn't physically empathize with others. The only times I ever learned to feel for others was through stories. I only realized something was wrong with me when something dangerous happened in my life and the first thing I wanted to do was to think 'well, at least I got something interesting to tell people now' rather than feel scarred by it. Or when I pushed someone off once as a kid thinking 'well, they didn't get hurt in the cartoon, so they'll be fine if I push them right?" I always wondered if I was either of the two after I first discovered the definitions of either of them. Rationally, I think it would explain a lot of things. Personally, I'm terrified at the thought of being a terrible person. Like, I'm part-ways image/reputation-driven, partly wanting to be able to just be normal, even though the back of my head demands that I should be more reputable. If it were not for the humbler beginnings of growing up, being under a strict household, I would have been twice the monster I think myself to be. Moments after the act, I'd realize I'm dominating the narrative; sometimes, I'd yearn to make people see things my way. I had to learn how to physically empathize rather than to feel for others, and that to me isn't normal. I don't even know what this is innate of me, but I question my sanity every time I can't feel for others physically, to the point where it doesn't feel real until I felt emotions. Sometimes I force myself to feel, knowing if I don't, I'd be seen as uncaring, making me more and more feeling disingenuous. I questioned what is genuine every time I can't feel the emotions. I wondered each time, if I'm faking it to make me look better. Is that a sociopathic trait? I really cannot tell. The worst part is the loneliness that come with this unfeelingness. Because I have no way of knowing if I'm ever going to be able to tell if my attachment to people are genuinely out of love or for my own selfish manipulation.

I had a real sociopathic manager in my first office job. She went out of her way to gather information on people for blackmail or bad mouth them, she put people down and stepped on anyone to get promoted. She took on roles that weremt hers - like punishing people or ordering people around that weren't even in her work group. She was hated. She used fake charm to get you to open up pretending to be interested as your friend, then would subtely slip in a question so she could spread that information around. For example - what did you do at the weekend.. did you smoke weed or do any other drugs? (In a more subtle way than that) then tell everyone you're a junkie. The worst thing she ever did to me was tell me that I wouldn't lose any paid hours if I came in late (I had an important appointment I couldnt move) I was less than 90 mimutes late and nobody even noticed when I did come in, but she decoded to deduct the entire day from me anyway.

I had a sociopathic general manager once. I was running late to work and so the outfit I picked out wasn't the best. The gm who was visiting for the day zeroed in on my ugly shirt because I was new. The look she gave me was one of disgust, like "you're not dressed well enough to work here". To make up for it, I decided to just stay quiet/invisible and work hard all day. She didn't like that and throughout the day, would give me more and more work than anybody else, and reprimanded me that I wasn't working hard enough. (I got pulled into her office, my manager's office, and yelled at in front of my manager and the assistant manager, that I was being lazy all day) When really I worked 6 hrs straight without a break. And only went to the bathroom once. I later found out the sociopath gm told my manager I had been in the bathroom a half an hour playing on my phone (lie). I ended up 3 weeks later quitting because my manager said I could either quit or get fired. (my manager was bff's with the gm) I chose to quit because I wasn't there long enough for employment government assistance, and walked away.

[@AmyCrosby-kx9bu]

⁠​⁠@@avert_I am in a similar situation with a "friend"... We have known each other for close to 3 years now and at one point in time I would have called her my best friend. I invited her and her 7 children to my hometown for Thanksgiving, I often (3-4 times a week) found myself at her house helping her with children. I would pick her up and bring her and the babies back to my house or take them to the river to explore or take her to run errands. I found myself doing all of the work to "help" her solve her problems but as quickly as one would get fixed, 3 more arose from her lawlessness, recklessness and continuous waste of resources. My mind is highly neurotic so it's my natural inclination to keep an account of everything I do. Im an avid planner and keep track of things by using a detailed timeline. I truly tried to believe the audacious excuses that this person would make for being out of groceries, having a disgusting house EVERY time I came over, never having time to care for her children, not making her children go to school, etc... she would cause fights with her mate and older children. She is extremely pompous and debased in her belief systems. I have helped her move and find houses only for her to destroy them and leave thousands of dollars in damages in her wake. All while claiming to be a victim of domestic violence. In late winter, earlier this year, I confronted her on many topics. She made it almost impossible to corroborate her story with any one of substance. I was finally able to connect with her foster mother in person and her new boyfriend that was in prison. She gave him my # one evening in case she was arrested and someone would need to come rescue her babies. Making those connections helped me to understand so much that I suspected but was never able to confirm. Turns out she had been lying and saying that I was putting my name on her work for a research project I worked on from Aug. '23 - Nov. '23. She had been selling her snap benefits for half price to gamble on her phone. It is only legal in WV and impossible to do when she would come to VA with me. I was able to give her foster mother my contact info and within a few days she had lied about the whereabouts of her newly gifted Dell laptop. The foster mother called me and we were able to connect the dots on 2 dozen more lies and see the patterns clearly. Once I confronted her about her lies, her gambling, her blatant disregard for anyone else's time, energy, resources, feelings, trust etc. she blew up at me! She immediately twisted the story and made it all about me wanting to watch her fail. How I sabotaged her life and ruined everything she worked so hard for. By early spring we had severed all direct contact but kept an update on her babies thru our teenager's friendship. The debauchery got so bad that I had no choice but to contact CPS. Her children were not attending school, her babies were malnourished, and her home was worthy to be condemned. The straw that broke the camels back for me was when she created a fake email address using my name and business contact to solicite "free" childcare thru a local entity. Thankfully she is a horrible con l-artist and used the wrong date on the email. The director of the child care servicing center called me to have me resend the email with corrections. I immediately knew that I had not sent any such email and I was able to ask a few questions to affirm that I was being manipulated once more by this person. Discovering all of her tendencies and malicious motives was not difficult but she was very good at pretending to care about the things that mattered to me. She "mimicked" the social ques but with almost apparent disdain. I would absolutely describe her as a narcissist and a sociopath but I am not so certain that she isn't a full fledged psychopath as well! She has zero remorse or guilt. She is a pathological, compulsive, habitual liar. She has audacious goals and illicit behaviors. The amount of aliases she has had via cell phone numbers and email addresses in the 3 years time that I've known her tell me that she is good at avoiding the consequences because no one has time to connect all of the chaos and manipulation. There is soooo much more that didn't touch on because it would take me all day! The moral of the story is that I learned so much about Adverse Childhood Trauma, Type B Personality Disorders (Borderline, Histrionic, Narcissim etc.) and I was able to walk away without allowing anymore of my time and resources to be depleted! Her children were never taken and they continue to suffer daily under her care. The sad reality is that people like this only escalate when there is no accountability. Sadly, her children will grow up to be just like her, if not worse.

[@Chickenthoefvola]

I’ve dealt with both. Avoid psyhopaths at all cost. Feeling sympathy is something they know you’re doing and will take advantage of you. It’s hard but the only way to deal with either of these is to cut your emotions off from them completely which means some what becoming one. It’s better to do this than have them change you into one of them from too many interactions.

I was diagnosed with aspd as a kid, made to go to counseling and anger management for a year but my counselor told me flat out I was a psychopath, not even conduct misbehavior, though this was the early 90s. But I know they were wrong. The entire reason I was in that place was because I was tired of being bullied for years and finally stood up for myself. Prior I didn't care because my home life was worse but I only realized it got worse and worse with time, they got too used to talking to me and treating me like shit and when it went to physical bullying I didn't snap per se, I just knew i needed to deal with it. I wasn't angry at all. I didn't resent them for it. It was purely practical. I got expelled from school and one of the kids mom's tried to sue me and my family. But in court when the truth came out I was reinstated into school and even though the judge told the kids mom she was lucky my family wasn't suing them instead he still forced me into counseling and anger management. Since I was a kid though the diagnosis didn't go on my record. In truth I nearly killed one kid. Fractured his skull and gave him several deep lacerations from banging his head into the concrete floor. In reality I'm a mix between autism, psychopathy, and sociopathy. I have traits from them all. I was born like this but my environment influenced me to prioritize myself. I dislike lying even if it's for good, because lies are easily uncovered down the road. It has nothing to do with guilt, because lying in the first place is ego oriented. Empathy and apathy. I have emotions and feel them like the next person does, I just don't let them influence my decisions. I try to think about things logically and rationally. I was also raised by my grandparents without a mother or father figure with all my cousins around because my grandparents was basically an orphanage for their grandkids. I was physically and sexually abused from a young age and mentally as well. Spoken about like the apple of someone's eye while in public but treated like a burden or a tool in private. Either way the difference between them is just the argument one was born and the other made. I wasn't born violent or hateful, but I did realize from an early age the contradictions and hypocrisy of human nature. I still don't consider myself violent or hateful either, truth is I don't care enough about anyone to hate them. Pure and simple. Emotions make you weak and easy to control. Slaves to our whims. Most consider me sneaky, creepy, too judgemental or an asshole because "you have too high of standards!" In reality I don't, you just have no standards at all. People are tedious and liars, lying to themselves the most out of anyone. All we care about is ourselves. How we appear in others eyes. Believing our own narratives regardless of what reality is showing. We have higher expectations on others than we do for ourselves. We fault others for not being knowledgeable enough, for not having foresight, awareness, dedication, and even in some cases fault them for not being psychic. But where's that same level of self expectations? Why are we so quick to judge and to try and label others but immediately get pissed when it happens to us? It's unfair, isnt it? The lengths we will go to to lie to ourselves are the real mental illness. We are just a product, both in the sense that we are made by our surroundings and societal expectations but also because we market ourselves to make a living. At least, we are supposed to. Humanity is a resource and has always been. So we delude ourselves into convincing ourselves we are different or unique. Have the superior genetics or traits, are the originals while everyone else is just fake. And we distract ourselves in anyway we can to avoid acknowledging that life is cruel and unfair, because we all eventually realize it's better off happening to someone else instead of me personally. Another lie, the copium isn't based on sense. It was always emotions that have shackled us, and always another person like us holding the leash and using that as a tool for their own gain. It's easier to believe our own narratives instead of stopping and taking in the truth of our reality. Escapism is the only way life becomes pleasurable.

@@lukenawrocki5042 I romanticize violence as much as the next person, think it's admirable if it's done for a just cause. The issue is I know anything can seem just with the right circumstances. But really no matter how you justify it violence is still violence. In an ideal world there would be no need for it, but ideals are just as romanticized and further a product of society. Ignoring all the death, murder, violence in nature only leaves one blinded. I think what I did that day was a moment of weakness, but a necessary one, because despite years of bullying, it stopped once I responded in kind with more force. Same with the abuse I was suffering at home. The only way you get people to stop abusing you and to leave you alone is you scare them with threat of death, and make sure they know it isn't some idle threat. They might laugh about it at first but I've learned if you can't even respect yourself, no one else will. Though I think I'm a bit of both, a psychopath and sociopath.. I truly was born feeling detached from my emotions. It's allowed me a certain level of clarity from a young age that I don't think most experience at first. I could go into more detail but I think this is already dark enough subject wise... No need to scar people online. I do think I was born with a critical eye, I just never made efforts to communicate with others because I felt like it was pointless. I didn't have the love of parents growing up and I know it had a large part in me shutting down emotionally, plus with little to no self esteem or self value, I never felt like i could make a difference in anyone else's life because I already realized the little contradictions within us all was just hypocrisy and ignorance, but even trying to tell someone this does nothing but make them angry with you. No one likes a person who points out their flaws, apparently, because they feel like they are being judged and labelled and take it like you are pretending to be better than them. In reality it's because I can relate and empathize with them that I'm able to see it.. still, my life just further desensitized me and made me cynical, distraught even, depressed with the grim outlook that is our shared existence. A nihilist and pessimist through and through. But not without reason. Honestly, happiness is impossible for me. I'm better off alone and immersing myself in work or something else that keeps my mind distracted from the trauma that is my memories. I don't resent it, though I, like everyone else probably would, would like to go back and change things if given the chance, but the reality is I've been suicidal since I was 12 years old and in the 21 years since then nothing has changed. I got older, uglier, a little more seasoned with greys and experience, but I've come to terms with the gaping wound within me. Nothing can fulfill it. I'm okay with that, because unlike most I don't need others to make me feel validated. I want love and acceptance as much as the next person, I just can't sell my dignity to get it. And unfortunately that's always the price I've been asked to pay. I thought one day I might love myself and then find true love and be happy, but it's a pipe dream. Nothing I do will ever be good enough. They say a person is shaped by nature and nurture, but what happens when nature always oppresses them and nurture was never an option? Cringey, I know, pathetic even. I bet I sound like a spoiled brat who's ungrateful for my squandered opportunities in life. A good foot in the ass and a push in the right direction and I would've turned out fine, no? 😂 Sadly no one has ever cared about me enough to see me as anything other than an object or a tool for their own ends. No platform to launch from, just the punching bag for layers of toxic relationships that don't even give the typical benefits. Don't sweat it though, I long for the release of the void because I know then I will be free and happy. From my experiences, life after death will be a nightmare. My happiness lies in my misanthropy. I just find it a little weird how I check 90% of all these boxes but never fully fit into one of them? Aside from psychopathy and sociopathy, nihilism is the belief nothing matters and is all pointless, with an general distaste for life and its rules itself. I do think it's pointless but insofar as I know we have to be the ones to assign its value. Same with misanthropy, an loner who secludes him or herself because they hate the world and people around them. Except, I don't hate anyone. Not even myself anymore. I just don't have that energy inside of me. The rest fits but I truly don't hate people unless you give me a reason to, and even then I dislike it because hating someone insinuates you care somewhat about them. Or did at one point. I don't have that in me either. I'm just broken, really. And I know it. I don't even want to fix it, wouldn't know where to start even if I wanted to try. Because what my issue is is a lot more deep-seated than ego or resentment. I appreciate the sentiment though, but I suppose I'm as happy as I'm ever going to be. I've been waiting for my life to start in a sense but I've only wasted it. I've needed a reason, something to motivate me to want to be better but no matter what happens or comes my way, I just want to shut down and forget it. Because I fully realize now that all the shit people in my life weren't just coincidence. I'm as much at fault as the next person is for my inability to show my emotions. The thing is everytime I've done so in the past, let my emotions take over and dictate my actions, i see myself becoming the thing I always told myself I would never be. Vindictive, jealous, egotistical, vain, cynical, and judgemental. I see my humanity and I'm disgusted by it. I wish I could be different, unique, or special, but I'm not different than anyone else. Aside from maybe being a little more self aware than typical. I'm genuinely scared of who I might be if I allow myself to be happy and motivated. If I had money and respect I would just abuse it and corrupt it. I know me all too well, my character and inner demons. I would be no different than those already in power and control, because unlike most, I know the monsters and evil exists within us all, aren't some separate and alien entities. Either way I'm done rambling and ranting. I appreciate your thoughts and wishes but you're better off saving them for someone who can actually make use of them. I'm beyond redemption, I've already made my bed. Now I just want to lay in it.

I actually always thought that my ADHD was comorbid with psychopathy, since I feel little remorse when leaving my relationships in the cold, as I am distant even with closest friends, but then that is also a symptom of ADHD, where those who are not present simply "do not exist" to my brain. With this thorough explanation I have a much better understanding of the two, and also the fact that many of my "unemotional" situations are due to the extremely logic brain the ADHD gives me.

One of my professors describe two types of psychopaths those that get things done and those that do things. The group that gets things done includes your CEOs, entrepreneurs, etc. They have channel their psychological traits to a mostly positive direction. The group that do things are the ones who have channeled their psychological traits into a negative direction manipulating others in a devastating way. CEOs can also do this, but it is usually tempered within the realm of their aspirations at job advancement. The others manipulate you for a cup of water.

Keep in mind that the DSM 5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) written by the American Psychiatric Association does NOT ever mention the term psychopath or sociopath. Any individual seeking insurance reimbursement for mental health treatment in the US must be diagnosed by a mental health professional with one or more diagnoses from this manual. Another words, psychopath and sociopath are laymen's terms and not official diagnoses of the APA. So dictionaries may define them differently, but the psychiatric community does not use or define such terms.

I grew up in a "transitional" inner-city neighborhood. Many enriching experiences, but also developed a good sense of danger. There have been a few instances over the many years when I picked up .... vibes?... from a stranger. Being an inner-city kid I dealt with all sorts of people. I recognized the "dead" eyes and odd facial and body movements as dangerous. Cross the street, retrace my steps... and run... to a safe place, never ever ignore my gut instincts. I have had those experiences only a few times, (thank god) but quickly assessing the situation and acting on it is part of my DNA. That's why it is important to teach children how to judge others, especially adults, and the signs of danger. I used to tell my son if ... god forbid... we got separated in a store or mall, go to a mother with children or a store clerk for help. Fortunately that never happened, but children need to know what to do in challenging situations.
