What's the /sci/ence behind Psychopathy and Sociopathy?

Would humanity survive Megafauna times if it weren't for the fearless psychos?

Scientifically speaking, the only difference between a normie and a sociopath is sentimentality and social conditioning. Every normie is a sociopath waiting to happen.

>>16819921
And I guess I should note that sentimentality often serves the normie as a justification for torturing and murdering other people, so that's not even a relevant difference.

One must always be wary of the normie. The normie is one social media post away from begging the government to unleash death squads upon you, even if he smiled at you and called you a friend 5 minutes ago.

I have a theory that women are born sociopaths. They just use men and when they're done, throw them away like they didn't even know them. It's always men that truly suffer after break ups. Women just move on. I would unironically trust someone like Ted Bundy more than a woman.

Low-value male problems. Can't relate. Women always crawl back to me.

Your mother and landwhales from tinder don't really count, mate.

Psychos have an easier time knowing when to make certain decisions.

Care to extrapolate? I thought they are more impulsive.

Ok, I think I see what your opinions stem from. You are a nation of monsters and your women are even more monstrous than the men.

Maybe these terms meant something once, but now they've been so overused it's becoming pop-psychology silliness. a bit sensationalized and people have too many misconceptions about them.
It's used to dehumanize the criminal "other" a lot, but the truth is you can stretch anything. Most of the general population has what you would call "psychopathic traits."

I was diagnosed with psychopathy and OCD when I was 12, used to beat the shit out of classmates for no reason at all, just for sadism I guess. Used to shoot frogs with fake Uzi gun, didn't even know why. Poke snails to death or throw them on concrete, strangled much bigger animals but I won't go into detail and so on so on. I didn't even know why the fuck would I do that. Felt good at the moment.

Fast forward into adulthood I really have to hide a lot and watch out for the alcohol and drugs, to not slip up too much. I've lost many people that I somewhat cared about due to being abusive, aggressive and obsessive. I try my best to halt my behaviour, but it isn't really easy, like suppressing yourself from being yourself. It's honestly hell. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone, it's a shit experience. You get women easier sure, you get more relationships, people respect your brutality and fast decision making sometimes. But you will never be truly happy, always a way to fuck something up. If I didn't have good looks, didn't dress good and have deep low voice. I would certainly be fucked for life. In everything. I don't understand the glaze Sociopathy and Psychopaty gets among people. It's a torture to be like this. Knowing you will die alone because you're a piece of evil shit. Fuck Dexter, fuck "You" and fuck all the movies for making it seem COOL. It isn't.

Thank you for the upboats my fellow redditors.

I looked into the psychology research behind this a few years back. Fundamentally, all of the personality disorders are the same disorder, something is physically wrong with the brain that makes them incapable of understanding the social / emotional world, but not in an autistic way, those guys are different. Autistic people are blind to social reality, personality disordered people are more like legally blind or color blind, they get it, but through a very disordered lens because of their literal damaged psychologies.

How are they damaged? Well, you can become damaged in many ways, the easiest is blunt force trauma. This is very common with low income children, and thus many psychopaths are on a one way track right to jail. The judicial system for this reason understands these people very well. You can become damaged in other ways: trauma or neglect, the human brain is fragile and it only takes one good shake to get entirely through off.

Psychopaths are Cluster B Personality B. Cluster Bs can navigate the social world because they learned all of the ways to 'win' in a social situation without actually "feeling" the social situation. Borderline people might seem like idiots, but just like a psychopath they are trying to win something, they just aren't good at it.

When you understand the interconnected nature of the personality disorders, you connect that they are only every 2 steps away from Schizotypal, and will literally start hallucinating instead of ever confronting the real world.
