Sociopaths are inherently evil, but psychopaths are not.


Posts: 2278

In order to be a sociopath you must be diagnosed with ASPD, and it must be environmentally induced from trauma and abuse. To be diagnosed with ASPD, you have to exhibit symptoms that would imply you have no empathy, warped morals, and limited emotion. These symptoms are behaviors that would often be associated with "evil" and in my opinion, are evil. So by default to be diagnosed as a sociopath you have to behave in an evil way.

 

In order to be a psychopath, you simply have to be born with neural variation causing you to be devoid of emotion and empathy and do not necessarily have to check all the boxes of evil behavior that a sociopath would for there diagnosis, because it is genetic and you are born with it. Therefore, you could have a man who acts like a complete saint whom due to their neurology, is still a psychopath. Thus, psychopaths are not inherently evil.

Therefore, sociopaths are inherently evil. And psychopaths are not.

My grandiose delusions are better than yours.

I hate it when people try to overcomplicate something when it "just is". For example, psychology tends to do this quite a lot. Now I like psychology, but this habit irritates me. For example, those with "NPD" or otherwise "self absorbed" people might be that way for multiple reasons and it has to be analyzed on a person to person basis. So, it could be that they just actually think they are awesome or maybe it's a defense mechanism. Psychology however, throws one of those cases out the window and say it automatically must be underlying insecurity. My "rants" are often directed towards this type of over-analysis; the assertion that nothing can merely be as is.

You're overcomplicating something that just is bruh.

 Incorrect, psychopaths never act like saints(like as far as their overall personality for a lifetime goes). If you knew about the diagnosis at all you would realize how dumb you come across to those who have studied mental disorders especially the cluster b disorders

 

Yes psychopaths can technically "act" like saints, but it is exactly that, an act, and anyone who monitored them without their knowing they are being observed would quickly see how unsaintlike they are when they think no one is watching and/or they can get away with it while still keeping their reputation in tact

It does not Lol, like at all

But it does back up my thought that you do not understand psychology as well as you try to put on sorry to say

What doesn't make sense about Catholicism being Psychopathic?
