A New Definition For Psychopathy

in psychology •  7 years ago 

I disagree with this post so much I want to flag it.

classy

If I were you, I would take this post down.

i am me. i just posted it

Because the information here is so bad, that it is dangerous.

lol. every line is getting more PC

A psychopath is someone who doesn't have the ability to feel warm empathy.

At all? at all times? for everyone? What about themselves?

You and I would feel bad for killing a person, even if it was in self defense, even it was sanctioned by the govern-cement.

why are you so sure about that. i dare you to interview 10 soldiers that killed people.

Psychopaths do not feel anything for killing a person. They can kill a person and then get the best nights sleep. There is no twinge of guilt. There is no sadness that they are gone. There is no sense of remorse.

This is what happens in movies actually.

You may ask, if this is so, why don't psychopaths kill more?

no, i actually don't

Well, to them, there is the hassle of cleaning up the body, and why kill someone when you can get them to kill themselves. It is much more fun to torture someone. To drive them insane. And the best, is that the did it all to themselves. They accepted all the lies willingly.

That's like watching Dexter right now. so hollywood. 5 stars.

That is the world of a psychopath.

in the movies

They are out there. Some place them as 5% of the population.

kudos to the credible "some". so much "science" in the percentage. amazing

And they have no moral reserve about destroying your life.

or so you claim

They get all of their joy from duping other people.

or so you say

Talking about psychopathy is not talking about someone who does questionable things, or even hurtful things because that is the current paradigm we live in. A psychopath, to us normal feeling people, has no warm emotions. They have ice running through their veins. And they leave a path of broken people in their wake.

Are you trying to recite poetry or explain psychopathy? i am confused.

I am trying to tell you something very important.
I am giving you the benefit of the doubt, that you probably do not know.

You are saying, you should be wary of this kitten. I am saying, that there are tigers.
There are people, known as psychopaths, that will mess with your head so bad, that you will commit suicide.

Psychopaths do not feel remorse ever.
This is what makes them a psychopath.

Psychopaths are not at all like depicted in movies.
They are very nice when you first meet them.
They are the picture of upstanding citizens.
Most will never suspect them until they see the mask slip.
And then, because of articles like yours, people do not understand what they saw.

One of the most dangerous things to mankind, and you mock it.
Your responses are all deflections.
So, I do not feel you are serious about discussing this.

If you want information you just have to look.
Try "Narcissist survivor groups" in boogle.

I completely agree with your definitions @builderofcastles. My wife and I have studied psychology at a tertiary level and this is consistent with the theory.

Once I had studied the condition of psychopathy I began to understand some people - mainly in the corporate world - who had damaged me in the past. Particularly notable is the trait where you never know which "identity" you'll be met with on any particular day. A psychopath may befriend you to lure you in or reveal vulnerabilities and the next day exploit your emotional investment by revealing your weakness or whatever is required to benefit themselves. Often they are successful in business as they can influence dispassionately. Very harmful characters and hard to combat as they operate under a veil of normalcy.
