Sociopath Community

They're not, sympathy is caring for how others feel. Empathy is feeling how others feel.

 

So if someone I knew had a death in there family. Empathy would be me reflecting on his loss as if it had been me who lost a family member ?

You really need to learn how to quote properly, and Luna needs to fix this shit up, so we can quote easier.

Clicking on the quote button should at least open a reply box with the quote in it, but it doesn't even do that.

"You are aware that I could go into that Wiki and make it say whatever the fuck I want it to say right?"

Yes, and then I would have noticed how much it didn't match what I'd studied prior.


"You're basically basing your entire theory on someone that was posted by some random guy on the net, with novalid checks and balances. Turncoat, you're smarter than that."

...I chose to quote it because I'd read it elsewhere. I am not digging out a textbook or old notes to say essentially the same thing.

Your theory is still being debated, and you act like it's fact instead of possibility. I posted that merely as another view.

Zomg battle of the quotes.

Psychopaths do not feel affective empathy until they choose to. Thus, the empathy switch.What
you've been claiming is that you feel affective empathy as often and as
easily as any average person, but can turn it off at will when you
choose to. When it's not off, you can still feel it normally.

You simple, poor, little, moron...

No, I've simply stated that sociopaths are capable of affective empathy, and it's required in order to manipulate... Right now you're trying to pull this into a battle of symantics and you know I'm fucking right, after spending countless posts trying to explain this one simple concept that it takes a video for your stupid ass to understand.

Psychopaths do not feel empathy on a regular basis like that. There is no empathy in most situations.

This is incorrect. As stated in this video and the four articles I added. Empathy is felt when the subject chooses to feel it. Which means in fact that they are just as CAPABLE as anyone else... and infact are just as EMPATHETIC as anyone else... you stupid little bitch...

Facepalm I could beat you people in the face with the truth but you'd still troll over it.

Turncoat, you're dead to me.

Here Let me google that for you, you lazy fuck.

I wouldn't say that being "capable" of something is the same as being "equal" at performing the same action as others.  I tend to laugh at shit that makes most people cry, then wonder why nobody else is laughing.  Oh, sure, if I stop and think about it long enough, it will hit me, and I'll be like, "Oh."  I'm capable of empathy, but I wouldn't call myself "just as empathetic as anyone else" lol.

I mean hell if I had worked hard enough I probably would have been capable of being in the Olympics.  Saying I'm "just as athletic as anyone else in the Olympics" would be one hell of a lie, though.  :P

Can you feel empathy for someone who has suffered a loss. If you yourself have never grieved over someones death ?

sry, i'm just trying to make sense of this. It has always confused me.

No need to get so defensive.

I never claimed that psychopaths cannot feel empathy at all. My claim was simply that they do not feel empathy as often as the average person. Psychopaths do not have this heightened sense of empathy that you claim to have. Which basically means that you emotionally empathize quite regularly. About as regularly as the average person, except that you turn it off at times. Which sounds like a defense mechanism.

There is no article that indicates psychopaths have a "heightened sense of empathy". That is your claim only and it's a bunch of bullshit.
