To have some part in common with a psychopath isn’t unusual but if one checks all the boxes it’s difficult to fit in with society

Because it makes no sense to care

But is also Environmental and social factors too not just genetics.

Indeed, though the whole subject becomes complex, when you factor sociopathy, and how not all psychopaths have all psychopathic tendencies, or how sociopaths may show some psychopathic tendencies at a different level and so. I think what makes the whole subject so complex is that the situation that leads to a certain psychological disorder varies wildly among so many different people and social situations, causing diverging evolutionary paths and survival mechanisms.

Some have hard time controlle themselves not to do any dire

You are right: there are also narcissists, sociopaths, anti socially disorderd people. It is not all psychopaths. And eventhough you are right about them not all being evilminded.... but the ARE damaging in many ways. I lived with many people who were to some degree psychopathic or they scored enough to be a fully blown psychopath. None of them was evilminded, yet horribly damaging to others !!!

Psychopathy is just freedom from the constraints of feeling that would prevent entertaining the thought to kill someone.. You would need to be a sadist or terribly damaged person to actually do it. Psychopaths for the most part, have a concept of morality and ethics like everyone else. It’s just that when you combine psychopathy with, say sadism, you get an individual with no leash and a desire to do harm.. That’s dangerous. Separately, the two can exist fairly well in society...

KandaPanda I admire your bravery and honesty, but judging from the overwhelming majority of comments here alone, pray you stay safe and well because of the hive or group mind and mob mentality which typically sees the majority in-group seek to scapegoat, persecute and even physically harm those they perceive as "other" or "out-group". One commentator goes as far as conflating "Jimmy Saville" or the well-known consensually-determined archetypal predatory paedophile and alleged necrophiliac. I'm aware that the ICD-10, commonly used in Britain and Europe as an alternative to the American Psychiatric Association's DSM-IV, now V or in its 5th edition, and makes no delineation between "asocial, antisocial, psychopathic and sociopathic" to cite a few of the approximate dozen conditions it classifies and labels beneath the same disorder. Having studied "Atypical Psychology" at postgraduate level as part of Social Psychology, and now in my early 50s, I'm much more aware of psychology's history and origins, its raison d'être being that of compliance, conformity and obedience, the less well-known child experimentation which directly followed on from the early experiments on rats, dogs and monkeys, as well as its other academic purpose being to validate and give credibility to psychiatry. Both pseudo-sciences are premised on man being nothing more than a stimulus-response animal devoid of a soul or conscience, deeply ironic given its utilisation of the Greek "psyche" meaning "spirit" and "iatros" meaning "physician/healer" therefore a psychiatrist transliterates meaning "doctor of the soul". It's highly improbable any two practitioners of so subjective a philosophy would ever agree on any diagnostic label, and these are used to serve what is today a multibillion dollar transnational pharmaceutical industrial and continually expanding psychopharmaceutical service industry of clinicians, therapists, nurses, auxiliaries, care assistants, and so forth, and its sister conglomerate with many ties to the petroleum and armaments or military-industrial complex, "Big Pharma", so I've a feeling you don't need reminding your "diagnosis" was originally one clinician's personal, highly subjective judgement which in all likelihood bears little if any relation to you as a father, parent, individual human being, man, son, brother or uncle if applicable, and so on, and you as a unique member of a community and society. I feel so upset if not angry reading you narrate the way your friends turned their backs on you. I hope you've sorted the wheat from the chaff and have made better social relationships.I almost wrote "felt sorry for you" in all honesty, but feel your personal strength, integrity and resilience between the lines you wrote. Clearly, such betrayal and abandonment ought make any rational, feeling person wonder who precisely is allegedly "devoid of empathy and conscience" or is truly messed-up after hearing what you say. You are, after all, the same person as before you were given this "label" let alone confided this with those you'd thought to be "friends". So. I only want to close this reply (sorry - hadn't unintended to go on so long) by sincerely and respectfully wishing you all the very best, and remember, be true to yourself, as Plato said, you are unique, irreplaceable, there's noone with your skills and talents, and doing harm to noone as you stated, value and take pride in yourself. In living a constructive and peaceful life as a stay-at-home dad you're probably doing more good than many other people, and from reading some of the other comments here, I've a canny feeling I know who I'd rather get stuck in a lift with ;) Kindest Regards Howard Downes (England)

Would you mind opening up about how did it came to the point where you got diagnosed please?... When it comes to reactions : It is because ASPD belongs to the Cluster B !.....of personality disorders, which are incredibly complex due to their Narcissistic traits. Cluster A's are not in any better position when it comes to reactions of others, as the matter of fact they face the harshest stigmas (specially Schizophrenia diagnosed individuals, who are known as aggressive.. but during hallucinations only.!..) .....Cluster B's are known as either aggressive - overtly abusive (ASPD's and BPD's), ....or passive aggressive - covertly abusive (NPD's and HPD's.) ....What "Passive Aggressive" means when it comes to Dramatic and Erratic Cluster B disorders in particular : ...Is being psychologically manipulative and/or destructive in variety of ways! ...All of them are lacking remorse!... + Their Conscience is impaired! ..They often, purposely, seek empathy from others... Excuse and/or Blame others, for their behaviors!..............Confusing oneself for an Introvert ? Purposely or obliviously ?!? It does not matter!!.............................Your problem is not "Labels"....your problem Is having specific Traits, and having AT LEAST.. 1 number too many of those traits....which got you on the list of Clusters considered : Extreme!...

The fact that you are willing to talk about it and admit it tells me that you might be misdiagnosed...

@@a64738 Highly functioning sociopaths and psychopaths are often self aware.

Aww that's cute and all, but how do you know you've never hurt anyone? It quite often takes empathy to know it, which you don't have (if you got the right diagnosis)

why would a psychopath care about the feelings of anyone? they wouldnt be trustworthy then.

We're not just talking about "feelings". If the psychopath doesn't understand the actions that those feelings will generate, then disaster may ensue. No, the successful psychopath must care about those feelings, and manipulate them to do her bidding.

Not really, soldiers, law enforcement and intelligence agencies need reliable, dependable people with a strong sense of duty. Psychopaths are self centered mavericks who take risks and put others who serve along side them at unnecessary risk. When you have a grandiose image of yourself, you are not fit to serve.

Weareallbeingwatched horses for the courses 😃 that’s great

I would go for a stoic or someone who could shut out pain or bad thoughts by meditation like a Buddhist monk for example. An entity that cares only about itself is just that. Nice try but you need a more original dupe

"Normal social" people would let me die just because they don't like me, so who is my enemy? 1% of the dudes who just have fun playing or 98,99,9% of the people who say "You aren't normal and you don't have friends and family so your life don't matter."

That's not necessarily true, they may save you because that's what they are expected to do to continue the status quo. It's more likely they would save you to get something from you later. It's also something to note, that if you put a person, even a psychopath in a position where they are engaged (violent fighter, soldier etc, somewhere their natural impulses are celebrated) they will generally follow the rules, not because they are being told to, but because they enjoy what's happening so why upset the apple cart. People forget that even psychopaths can learn to pick their battles and learn to somewhat direct and control their impulses. Remember, the crazy people we see as criminals are the ones who GET CAUGHT because they failed to maintain control.

I'm sorry that you were diagnosticated to be psycho (no joke) and I understand what you're pointing out.

Being charming is heavily linked to being attractive combined with a sharp wit

it depends on the individual psychopaths are one in ten people. but its a scale its the morale and ethical codes of individuals and there goals that make them who they are. for instance one can be a physco but highly value rules and laws in that case he or she is not likely to brake those laws. however, if a situation of violence out side the rules of law present themself ( ie active gunman) outside from trained professionals ( law enforcement) the first one to react in a aggressive manner is like to have some psychopathic traits as they have less of a morale barrier to overcome when it comes to using force to get their way. ( thier way being not getting shot)

and then the question remains..; how do they relate to others, their family and so forth... u will usually find some one in their circle who is being used by them.. There always is !

you nailed it right there !

true

Goddamned fucking hell yeah... some one who understands the problem !!! This problem of psychopathy has never ever ever ever been properly addressed. Most of us simply lack the empathy to really realize how endlessly fucking bad these monsters are.. There is absolutely NO LIMIT to their evilness.... We've been kept affraid of nuclear war, while we are letting psychopaths roam the world freely...and the latter hasn't ever been openly mentioned while you can easily compair them to a nuclear war.

Sulphur Jellybean Yes, they keep voting for President and voting period. If they boycotted any interactions with politics and took care of themselves and let the money circulate within their own communities, they cannot do too much damage. That is the only way that neurotypicals do damage. Look at some Asians. Some of them do not vote and they keep money witnin their communities. Imagine if more neurotypicals did that. They wouldn't the government as much. Being impoverished is part of why people vote. Imagine everyone is prospering, each individual state could leave the U.S. because everyone has the ability to buy gold. That state is small enough to have fewer psychopaths or none because everyone is able to buy gold. That is extra self-sufficiency. There would be no more BIG government. But... of course, that is a fantasy. Not every member of the masses can think like that. In fact, most can't. Not being able to think for yourself is self-destructive.

Was this a clinically diagnosed psychopath or of your own conclusion? I ask because of a very distinct contradiction of psychopathy you stated in that your ex wouldn’t take responsibility. A psychopath will always acknowledge what they’ve done regardless of the harm it causes others. All decisions are rationalized and believed. Too often people equate harm to psychopathy when more commonly they mean a type of sociopath. I do hope things are better for you now.

Philip Donovan you aren't entirely wrong and everything but there's a couple of things to understand. If a sociopath saw someone get murdered on the street would he keep walking without batting an eye. Humans still try to protect each other, even if it's just self-righteously prove himself as a glorious hero. Or just a good person. And this self-fulfillment, though selfish can still lead to Good Deeds. And you only are what you do which could thus make you a good person

ozzyfightback That’s not actually the difference... Sociopathy is secondary psychopathy and is very different in symptomotology.. Yes primary is more genetically determined.. But it’s not the main difference.. or even the second.

Every disorder or mental illness are all adaptions to fit into specific environments. Just like ptsd is a reaction to dealing with a very dangerous or highly stressful environment. Its how your mind best programs itself for survival. Its actually the sign of a healthy adaptable mind, not a weak or broken one. The problem comes in when they return back to the original environment, but arent driven to reset their mind for it. Sociopaths & psychopaths are the same, theyre adaptions and survival enhancing tools. The problem is not in their minds, the problem is their environment, the attempt to deal with this problem is found in their behavioral changes they make.

Dolores Kjar no psychopaths really do just have a different brain anatomy, it’s their genetics that determine this. A 3 year old psychopath will feel no fear or sadness

@@jonnyjonson6215 I agree. There are jobs which almost requir a psychopath, but there are also a lot of jobs where we might find them but where they don't belong. But they are a minority i think. It's the narcissists and the sociopaths we should worry about. They come in very large numbers since there are many of them who do not score high enough to be diagnosed as npd or sociopath but are very much so. Many of those who aren't aware of themselves having a disorder hold a lot of responibility jobwise while they actually show certain handicaps one of them lacking the capabiltiy of calculating complex consequenses of decisions in a social sphere. This has been shown in ceveral surveys done by American Univercity.

@COOLkid123 goodForLife_103 MIrroring empathy is what neurotypicals have, psychopaths only have cognitive empathy which they are actually better at.

Dani68ABminus if your illuminati-ish theory is to be believed and we have been controlled and misused in such a way for "eons" than the sad truth is we aren't the flowers, were the weeds. That's kind of a scary thought huh.

The vast, vast majority of psychopaths are not violent. When interactions occur and people 'give and take' the only reason they give is to take. Psychopaths give and take as well, they just recognize that all interaction is for personal benefit. Selfishness is not an inherently bad thing.

everyone is a little bit psychopathic, where do you draw the line? and most arnt criminal... and what gives you the right to dictate who has the right to exist in your world? next you call jews a tumor everyone has equal rights, including the types of people you hate you dont get to live in a perfect safe little cube where you can regulate the population to your preference

Garrett Millard You shouldn't assume that everyone shares the same mental framework than you. People are motivated by many things, many of which do not have a selfish motive. Psychopathy and its cluster b cousins always seek a predator/prey relationship and most aren't physically violent. The subject is much too complex to reduce to a couple of sentences here. I recommend reading Robert Hare, Ph.D., Martha Stout, Ph.D., George Simon, Ph.D., Hervey Cleckley, M.D., ...read about cluster b personality disorders , overt and covert narcissism, malignant narcissism. Scott Peck, M.D. published an insightful book called "People of the Lie"...it sort of sums them up, no matter the outward appearance.

this is what most psychopaths tell themselves and as usual it takes the focus away from their behavior to the behavior of others. They love to think that every person is the same as they are. And yes it is often so but those who use others and who aren't psychopaths have the ability to learn from their behavior. Humans will not take from others when they know it could or will hurt the other. If they do and others point out their bad behavior they will learn from it. Psychopats cannot learn, because they are NOT doing anything wrong, according to themselves ofcourse. I've met a whole lot of psychopaths, sociopaths and aspd's in my life. The best years i've spend with such sick maniacs and i can't ever get those years back. I'm glad i'm finally aware of the fact that i was a prey-profile.

You’re generalizing. The truth is psychopaths are just the way that they are because that’s the way their brains are. It’s no fault of theirs that there synapses don’t create this chemical or that chemical. It’s like being upset with someone who is depressed because their depressed.

The term you are looking for could be 'The Dark Empath' - people with the traits of a Dark Triad (Narcissisism, Machiavellianism, Psychopathy), but unlike a typical Dark Triad or Psychopath, these people also have the ability to feel and understand other's emotions, which they would typically use to manipulate others instead of helping them, yikes!! Which is why they can bend in more easily and manipulate even more people than psychopaths, because of their abilities to understand others personally and emotionally. So I don't think those are the people we need, because they will always be collecting informations on you and you will never know when they will manipulate and turn against you. There is a reason why the Dark Empath is considered one of the, if not, the Most Dangerous personality type out there!!

@@user-pf8gk8oj8i when I said empathy...I didn't mean cognitive empathy, but affective empathy.

We need people who can stand the sight of blood. Who can kill someone when he needs to. Who can control his anger. Who can defend his family when he needs to but still remain grounded. We need MEN. Loving and caring. A man who can be patient but who can also put limitations when he needs to. Let's just erase psycopathy. Let's use defensive. Who knows how to defend for other people. In order to do that you have to be a little bit emotionless. Because when those times come one has to have no empathy and no emotion. Psychopaths are cowards. Irresponsible.

D W not nessicarly psychopaths as there refered to exhist on a scale ( 1 in 100 are belived to be psychopaths) just like many other mental states ( autism for example) not all of them are the same. it depends on want values the physcopath attributes to things ( ie personal wealth or reputation and being seen as a " good" person) depending on these values you can have serial killers or those who catch them ( i belive there are studdies that show some of the best and morale law enforcment detectives were in fact psychopathic its the old saying " takes one to know one")

there's the best advice i ever read on ytube... loool

D W wish I had instead of going on a date with one telling a lie and being stuck in the same county with other weirdos. Police stick up for them and anyone else just let's them get on with being a psychopath or join in with the bullying. Yeah they don't live by the same rules we do, they do whatever ever they want, they have fun whilst manipulating the lives of others and they can make money from it. How is that something to celebrate and allow. "oh well at least they're having fun" something that scars,scares and makes others miserable, no matter how fun it is for one individual, it should not be allowed to happen. Psychopaths should all be in mental aslyms or six feet under, instead of running around manipulating the lives of others and getting away with absolutely anything.

You can draw a line between psychopath and sociopath, as sociopaths are more likely to use aggression to get what they want. I've dealt with them and they're more narcissistic. And annoying. Being a psychopath doesn't necessarily make someone more prone to commit crimes or anything. It just means they're physically unable to empathize or get anxiety like the general population.

Just because he was unconventional

This is writhing in disdain, misinformation, and bias. Psychopathy is not a learning disability. If anything, it’s at best an executive function spectrum disorder. Psychopaths do feel and even understand concepts like empathy, guilt, shame, and integrity. They just may not react or internalize them as others do. You may say that taking life in any capacity is bad; whereas a psychopath will have rationalized the reason for doing so, in the sense that it was the only option at the time. Saying it’s wrong while they watch militaries and police officers get away with it contradicts the statement allowing for open perspective on the issue. You must first correct the actions of society before imposing punishments on defectors to the “norms.” A psychopath wouldn’t agree with racism as thinking less of someone because of the color of their skin is ludicrous; but they would exploit others racism to manipulate outcomes (e.g. Dahmer, Gacy). Their harms only continued at those rates due to the failures in society. Your view only allows for them to be criminals or dangerous individuals. I assure you, many of them work in public service, are philanthropists, advocates and activists, and become exceeding successful; thanks to your inability to see them as human. Society grows and changes, why wouldn’t you assume psychopaths do too.

@@brandonndre 1. why wouldn’t I assume psychopaths "grow and change"? Like people with ASD, psychopaths struggle to recognise pain in peoples faces but UNLIKE people with ASD, they have a deficit in feeling physical discomfort from seeing other people in physical pain. **This affects their ability to learn to avoid situations that cause other people pain**.. because physical discomfort is arguably our strongest and fastest feedback mechanism for learning how to avoid anything. these aren't my "views" these are measurable scientific facts based on the defintition of psychopathy and why many less fortunate psychopaths end up in prison. 2. Psycopathy is associated with a measurable "exaggerated attention bottleneck" ( Baskin-Sommers & Brazil , 2022) which creates deficits to how much complexity can be processed at once. That is a learning difficulty like ADHD if not a disability . saying "Psychopaths do feel and understand "concepts like empathy, guilt, shame, and integrity" is like saying an 8 bit computer processor can run data driven algorithms to emulate a software package that requires a 64 bit processor to run. 3.Psychopaths show a deficiency in avoidance learning when multiple sources of information need prioritizing to adapt and optimise behavior. They struggle to incorporate context-relevance into decisions or adapt to context change, they don't dwell on multiple ways of doing things that are equally valid and don't gravitate towards imagining or embracing many possibilities. They apply simple rules without rigorous evaluation of appropriateness. They are "open" to deciding whatever perspective they can manage to take is "the only option at the time".

Psychopaths are born that way. Sociopaths are made

I thought so too....when I was eleven.

Try telling the child of a psychopath that " a socially-labelled psychopath cannot hurt you unless you give them permission to.".. society allows these biologically dysfunctional parents to stress out their kids to the point where they literally affect the size of a childs hippocampus FOR LIFE . how is causing permanent brain disorders to children forever legal? they should pay damages for life

The problem is they occupy a lot of positions of power and they don’t really need permission to hurt others.

Mary Macdonald I’m a functional psychopath factor 1 fearless dominance! I’m also a mechanical engineer and I am a valuable asset to my company. So there’s that

Why Aren't they bad guys that they deserve to be in a celler?

Disappointing how? Because you disagree with it? Your opinion doesn't matter.

@@wesphillips8058 It’s very human to want everything to have a purpose. He’s forcing pieces together that don’t fit. And just because he’s on stage is no reason to automatically agree with him. Think for yourself.
