psychopath is born different
sociopath is a victim of abuse and bad enviroments
it's a very simple way to know... if you did not get abused or grew up in bad enviroments THE CHANCE IS YOU ARE NOT A SOCIOPATH!(aspd)
They say those are the differences, however speaking for myself as well as my (what is diagnosis?) partner, in both cases i could see genetics and environmental factors come into play.
Both of us have bad mental health family or origins. And both environmental upbringing factors. Yet our traits are all over the map for both socio and psycho...
She lacks thinking ahead; i don't.
I have better impulse control and planning. She is very impulsive.
Depending on who someone talked to i don't fit either or i do.

My mother has EXTREME Borderline so yes i had a crap childhood.
Now my partner's mother shows no emotion most of the time at all, so she was raised like that. She claims her mother "trained" her how to blend in, although i don't think she spent much time "training" her from other stories i've heard.
So technically both are families have crap genetics, so would it be psycho or socio?
The words have been defined and misused so many times, have they finally settled on a definition for psychopaths and sociopaths? And what if one shares traits of both? Do they then go by childhood? What if one both has the genetics and bad childhood?
none of what you said helps determine anything..
other than the fact you actually have a damn partner that neither one of you is exploiting...
psychopath^^
sociopath^^
the girl has recovered the guy didn't it was too late for him
also a lot of sociopaths MIRROR PEOPLE!! like monkey see monkey do (psychopaths don't do this)
these are the basic forms of what they are... the more advanced stuff you need to do more research and even have studied psychology
even advanced specialists have no real idea of the true difference between sociopath and psychopath all they determine is psychopaths would talk about what they ate during the day of a murder
this is a psychopath
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweeney_Todd
psychopaths are usually business men/women or politicians, sales people, stock market people, surgeons, military, judges, lawyers and they don't have any problem maintaining jobs like that of sociopath
So if neither one of us is exploiting the other neither of us stands to gain anything... i am not one to use those i care about; anyone else is disposable.
Thank you, Maze, i appreciate the definitions and advice and videos, it helps a lot.
Partner says her mother "trained" her to blend in, and she used it to advantage and that was when she was young. Then again observative children could make the same observations and apply it.
