Am i a psychopath or a sociopath, my bf said both, i dont think i was born as a psychopath, i was a really sweet kid tbh, but the stuff that happened to me when i was younger, literally since the day i was born, it changed me ig? But i relate to all the psychopath things except for the no emotions like i dont feel anything whether its happy or sad, idrk, but there are like 3 people that i care about? And the right and wrong thing isnt cause of laws but cause its a sin, thats why i dont do it, also i prefer hurting shitty people emotionally and breaking them slowly without them noticing, i dont do it physically cause theyll have proof or scars, but mentally, they have no proof, besides, whos gonna believe that im the one who did that to them, no one, im too innocent to people, also i always know what people are planning or how they feel, its like theyre robots, its fun just observing them, also i dont like hurting good people, i hurt bad people and i like protecting people. But um i dont think i was born like this? Well. i did tell my parents ill cut off my sibling's head if they have another baby other than me when i was 3, except i actually want a sibling now

Is it possible to learn a more psychopathic asds? Because I definitely can make sense what's right and wrong (at least I have an intuition on what society thinks) As a studied philosophy I tend not to find any reason why something is actually wrong. Only reason I don't want murder to be right is that I don't want it for myself or others I care about. But as an extension of that, I don't want it for any innocent person and so I feel like murder of innocent people is wrong. So I guess I have empathy.
But the thing is that I can turn off the empathy and mostly stop caring about how others feel and then turn it back on once I relax and reflect for example.
Like psychopaths, I'm calm, calculative, normal person (from outside perspective) I also aim for a high education and value it greatly.
Like sosiopaths, I can feel empathy for people close to me like friends or intimate partner. I just have a fear from somewhere that I might hurt them myself if I even get a bit angry.

psychopaths will provoke you to make mistakes then instead of stopping you theyll push you to make more mistakes to see whats gonna happen. then there in a position to slit your throat and betray you but theyll make it look like you slit your own throat and betrayed yourself so they dont have to take accountability. there goal is to cause you maximum pain. they manufacture situations through manipulation with the goal to put you in a compromosing position, then when your down, they double down on your mistake to maximise the emotional damage. they genuinely enjoy sabotaging others. and to make it even more sadistic, they will PLAY VICTIM and act like they did nothing wrong and show zero remorse. no shame and no empathy and no identity= extremely dangerous to society. they can rob steal kill and not give a shit about it. just another day at the office.

I just learned that i been using sociopath wrong, i been thinking of it as not feeling some emotions rather than all of it being on empathy, i thought that since i don't feel love and both attractive and social, i can only care about someone and don't feel remorse as much but this last one is learned rather than being part of the other, i am overly caring yet will not take crap from someone who intends to hurt me, i have been charmed by many psychopath until the mask slipped like with mini ladd and iilluninaughtii, but i seem to have better bullcrap detectors as i learned what to look for after the controversy like waiting for both sides to speak rather then avoiding it, now listen i could go on but frankly i believe i wrote this because i am tired and the fact that i do feel proud of what i become compared to what i could have been

I have a friend that we hardly see each other for these months, He has told me that he wants revenge on the people who have hurt him, He has told me that sometimes he feels pain and hate and he wants them to feel that pain, I have witnessed how he threatened someone who was bothering him, I don't really know if that makes him a sociopath but he has told me that he resents a lot of people, he told me he would take their lives if he could, I think he would, because once he almost took my life by hanging myself because I accidentally made him angry, I don't remember what I did, maybe He just wanted to take his anger out on me. , I really don't know, I only know that I was about to faint, I follow him, although not as often, I keep seeing him because he's a friend and he hasn't done it again, Although if I'm careful with him

At a certain point, youll realize that other people tend to focus too much on the morality of their choices rather than what they stand to gain.
Its a good starter block of knowing where you stand on the mental scale.
Another big one, which is decidedly more obvious in this pathic tell is your effect on other people.
Sociopaths never tend to connect to people well enough, but can still leave lasting effects, while psychopaths can change dozens of people through over the course of their lives through subtle influences.
Essentially, psychopaths can mold people because they will tend to be appearing as intelligent, respectable people, while simultaneously sharing with you the most unethical ways to accomplish your task whilst hiding all the bad sides of what youve just been convinced to do.

I am a sociopath. I was diagnosed with it. However, as time passes by, I oberved some signs of psychophaty at me, such as: sometimes I just randomly catch myself thinking about various plans that have The goal of producing extreme suffering or even the death of people around me, including me and my family or overreacting in a situation. For example, if someone pisses me of, for The next couple of hours I just thing about The most creative and horrific ways that would mare that person suffer. However, I also have The simpthoms of a sociopath: I feel very rare The feeling of emphaty and even then, I do not have IT towards humans and also I am very unstable from a mental viewpoint. So what am I if I have The signatures of a psycho but also those of a socio?

4: 12 yes, woke up to my friends talking about me. One of them, the one they all defer to kept using the term psychopathy. but after watching this I would think more Sociopath honestly. it's not that I do not have empathy it's just that I'm really bad at showing it because well if I'm being honest I didn't get a whole lot of it growing up or really at any point. I begin to wonder if I am actually sick in the head or if I'm merely surrounded by bad faith actors.

I know Im late on this video, but I genuinely think Im a sociopath. With a passion. But I also force self control. Im not sure if this is because of a high rate of intelligence, and realizing the consequences, or what. But Ive known theres something wrong with me. I KNOW. Its awfully hard to realize when I come off as rude, dismissive, or heartless, and I get a lot of oppression because of it. Im honestly too scared to admit my fears, though.

Another way of thinking about it is sociopaths are often made, psychopaths are born. One has emotion but ignores it whilst the other lacks humanity. A psychopath's ability to feel are always self serving and selfish. They only feel positively or negative towards ideas of profit. If it makes you profit as well, thats simply a coincidence.

Before watching, I thought of a sociopath as someone who is intelligent, cares only about themselves, and sees other people as a means to an end, while a psychopath gets enjoyment out of other's pain. As it turns out, I had the two reversed and my dad's co-worker is a psychopath. go figure.

My best friend is a diagnosed psychopath. Basically, she feels very minimal emotion, and only expresses it because not expressing it when someone gets hurt, for example, can ruin some relationships and negatively impact her. It doesn't mean she goes around killing people, by the way.

The way I always thought about it is that sociopaths can choose to feel empathetic, or chose whether to feel guilty they have the capability to understand the difference between right and wrong but can choose where to apply it where as psychopaths cannot do any of those things.

Don't forget! It's not like that sociopaths and psychopaths are much easier to spot that way! They are still each an individual person, shaping their personality by their environment. So please don't expect to know if a person is either of those just by the way he appears

So from this video, I'd say I'm much more of a sociopath BECAUSE I had to spend my entire childhood, teen and young adult years having to deal with at the very least a handful of psychopaths almost every single day -____-

Psychopathic people have no conscience. They know hurting you is wrong but do not care. It's like stepping on a bug without any regard for how much pain they cause. In fact, they enjoy seeing you suffer.

Am I bad for being a social path?
People judge me. They think Im crazy. They are scared of me. Its safer that way since they cant hurt me right? So i dont feel like a burden? Or guilty?
