I'm a minority in the country I live, because my parents are from other countries.
You mean this thing, Jones?
But I've younger sisters... ok, one of them is maybe ill, she suffers from depression and has no interests.
The others are "normal".
I'm the first-born, I was beaten strongest, (because my siblings are female, our mother won't hurt them really).
So: Made???
But if there is really a difference in my brain, (I dont know yet) then it must be born???
On the topic of nurture vs nature, I always lean toward nurture.
Humans are animals with certain genetic predispositions, but overall they are more less products of their environment, we adapt to the situations we go through, and we are never the same person we were yesterday
in biology they say that who we are is completely reginerated every 7 years. down to the cellular level ever flake of skin fiber of bone and yes, every neural pathway in our brain is reginerated over time. we are made to adapt to circumstance. we are not born who we are... sociopath or not, we grow into our role as a person.

by lisaI have read that it is possible to move into the sociopathic realm if one is already personality disordered, particularly narcissism. It is generally thought to be a combination of genetics plus environment. I would love to get more feedback if anyone knows more about this.
Most scientists and psychiatrists claim that you are born this way, and environment plays little to no part unless you experienced severe trauma. I dont think they are in the position to say this as they are not sociopaths, or at least most of them are not. They also claim that if one begins to experience sociopath traits he/she is most likely suppressing their emotions, or trying to belong to a group( desperate-seekers). desperate those who attempt to suppress, seekers those who try to belong to a group. what they claim may be true for a lot of people, but not all in my opinion. I know this because i have the discussed the topic with various psychiatrists, psychologists, and scientists. etc. In my opinion those who were "made" into sociopaths are at an advantage because they have a genuine understanding of emotions, and dont just mirror the people around them. you can also use this to your advantage against other sociopaths because they mirror peoples actions . so giving them a false view of emotions or tricking them into believing what you are doing is normal will backfire in the end for them. I know this from experience and this tactic is in my arsenal. however this might not always work if your pray is smarter then you, but for me that has never been the case. And if you are wondering, yes, i was "made" into a sociopath.
It's also true that some try to unsupress such emotions they're trying to supress supposedly, and turned out to be worse monsters after "getting better" having "faked it until they made it" and actually started feeling again. Apparently, they had thought themselves into thinking they felt. Then that treatment for psychopathy, for obvious reasons, fell out of favor. Yes, for those who "became" psychopaths included, or at least claimed to. ;
It can't just be a result of interracial breeding, because i was born like this, and for the last four hundred years my family has been english, and before that french, so no interracial breeding occured, but still, here i am. I personally think its the same with any 'system', there is always something that doesnt fit in with the 'code', and in this case it happens to be us, Sociopaths
