psychopaths are the ones that appear behind you without making a sound.

I always assumed it was the psychopaths who were more organized and more likely to be successful, and the sociopaths were more disorganized and more likely to fail.
The Comparison Chart on that link also describes psychopaths as 'delusional'. Delusional in what way?
In all the literature, different "experts" use the terms differently. I use the terms interchangeably, as does M.E. She uses "sociopath" because it sounds better. I use "psychopath" because it sounds worse.
Some expert said a sociopath will rape your daughter and a psychopath will seduce her. Whatever...
Welcome to our Forum, Judge Judy. Try not to be too judgmental though.
