Psychopathy is a widely misunderstood personality trait blurred by the medias use of the term in conjunction with charismatic sadists. I've seen many threads devolve into arguments over who's the sharpest edgelord.
I will not be bumping the thread, if there is no interest, it will die. Join me for your own edification. Expand your knowledge and find clarity in it.
There is no glory in psychopathy. Ask me anything, for I am a psychopath.

Do you enjoy prostate stimulation during masturbation and/or intercourse?
Brandon Bell
While this has nothing to do with Cluster B personality disorders, I do actually enjoy prostate stimulation. I, however, am not attracted to men, or men that anons refer to as "traps".
Ethan Bell
What separates you from a sociopath? What's the main difference?
Jace Price
You startrd this thread the other day didnt you? Silly user
Adam Young
>There is no glory in psychopathy. The fact that you felt the need to say that speaks volumes.
I think everyone generally accepts that psychopathy is something to be abhorred.
Brandon Davis
What makes you a psychopath?
Robert Johnson
Being a psychopath must be rough. I couldn't do it, I'd probably kill myself. They've got some kind of non-dairy substitutes you could eat, but I don't imagine it tastes anything like the real thing.
Daniel Martinez
That's a great question and an answer I'm not sure if there is a consensus to.
Please, take my response with a grain of salt as I've only taken a few psychology classes and only speak from my knowledge and experience.
The difference between psychopathy and sociopathy is how it is developed. Psychopathy being a genetic disorder while sociopathy is a behavior disorder developed over time, and sometimes even an active decision.
The DSM V considers both psychopathy and sociopathy the same thing for diagnostic criteria. I hope this answered your question.
William Rivera
Thoughts on schizotypal personality disorder?
Cooper Perry
I did not. I haven't posted since about 2007.
Daniel Rivera
It's certainly useful in many situations, but those situations do not present themselves often. For the most part it's not a good thing.
Christopher Bailey
So you admit its a mental disorder. By all """""psychopathic""""" logic tou are flawed and need to be purged from the human race. May i suggest drinking bleach
Liam Smith
I was diagnosed in late 2014 with Borderline Personality Disorder with Anti-social Personality Disorder tenancies. Psychopathy being included as a diagnostic criteria. It was a long year long road to diagnostics but it was worth it. Now that I know I can drink to it.
Brody Jones
That's lactose you beautiful hilarious troll.
Nicholas Campbell
I'm sorry friend, I wish I could have an opinion to share with you but Schizotypal is a Cluster A personality which I know very little about. It certainty seems like an interesting way to live your life though.
Gabriel Price
Can you give us an example of some of your actions that were considered psycopathic?
Samuel Barnes
What gets your dick hard?
Luis Wilson
Psychopathy is considered a diagnostic criteria, more of a trait than a disorder. There is no "psychopath disorder". But rather if you ARE a psychopath you MAY have a mental disorder.
I understand and acknowledge that you are a troll but you really hit gold here. In previous editions of the DSM mental disorders were considered a flaw, however, much research is pointing to personality disorders being an evolutionary trait.
While psychopathy is not necessarily relevant today's society it is useful in extreme circumstances. Many people think of psychopaths as those who feel no remorse for killing a person they're the same one's who feel no fear from saving children from a fire. Often psychopaths are the one's who react the fastest to natural disasters and bad situations in general.
I hope this helps.
Michael Cook
There's a meme with a peasant plowing a field that is barren. It says something along the lines of "This is where I grow my fucks."
Imagine not having any fucks for anyone. That's hard. I was engaged once and I had no fucks to give her. It broke her heart. It broke mine.
Oliver Foster
You're probably just autistic Sorry faggot
Cameron Howard
Anything, this post kinda get's it hard.
Benjamin Jenkins
Maybe, but I don't trust your credentials enough to take it under consideration.
Owen Parker
So are sociopaths just lame, half-breed psychopaths? They're like the vegetarian to your vegan?
Luis Perez
predatory behavior? check parasitic lifestyle? check callous disregard for the well being of others? c-check
Hudson Gutierrez
Haha! That's a very interesting comparison. I actually believe them to be quite similar, however if I were to place one of the other I would say Sociopaths would be superior as they wouldn't necessarily have the same negative affects as psychopaths.
Depending on when they became sociopaths they wouldn't have the same issue in their pre-frontal cortex and amygdala.
Connor Morales
Pretty much. A sociopath is someone with LOW empathy. A psychopath is someone with NO empathy.
Like all things mental, it's a spectrum that is further complicated with the fact that a person can be benevolent or malevolent.
Obviously, no one wants to medically diagnosed as either because it defeats the purpose of manipulation. A lot of the people who say they are psychopaths just know because they don't really care about things Sup Forums calls "edgy."
Still, someone can be a successful banker or a serial killer. Both are malevolent in a sense. Someone else can be a great defense lawyer or a great military member. Both are seen as benevolent (military member is praised by country).
And like pedophiles, a psychopath or a sociopath who is self-aware can choose not to follow predicted patterns to throw off "scent."
Robert Powell
Predatory behavior - Check Callous disregard for the well being of others - Check Parasitic lifestyle - I think you're reading the wrong source material. This is no longer a criteria for Custer B personality types. I myself am completely self sufficient in life. That being said I am likely an emotional parasite.
Noah Adams
Oh wow! Thanks for gracing us with your presence educated user.
I'm not sure if I entirely agree with your assertion though.
Recent studies indicate that psychopaths DO in-fact have empathy as they are able to turn it on and off on command. The summary of the research being that a normal person has empathy turned on by default and a psychopath has empathy turned off by default.
This is also my personal experience. I can intellectually put myself in another's shoes, but it is an active process I have to undergo.
Carter Bell
Based on your speech patterns here, I can firmly say that you are of the low-functioning variety. You're just like a little kid who wrote his first program in BASIC, and thinks he's a software engineer.
Zachary Foster
psych student here. What age when diagnosed?
Brayden Parker
That's the collective psychopath notion of throwing the "scent" off, which I included in my original post.
A psychopath is good at manipulation to the point that he/she/they can make it seem like they are being empathetic following traditional microexpressions including crying on command.
Another comparison for you: you are telling me about Japanese culture when you yourself have never been there.
Josiah Garcia
I'm dumbing down my vernacular to be more approachable. I'm also incredibly intoxicated.
I hold a B. AS and a B. S.
Last time I was tested I was in the "Bright Normal" range of IQ. Sorry bud.
Nathan Reyes
2014 is when I was diagnosed. I'm 27 now, that would make me 24 I believe.
I always knew I was just a tad off but it was when I was in a serious relationship that everything came to fruition.
Luke Harris
Except I mentioned your speech patterns, not your sentence structure. There is a difference, user.
>Bright Normal I am to assume that is in the 110ish range.
That's again low-functioning. I start my low-end of functionality where the mean for the population is. The people below the half are non-people.
Christopher Taylor
Robert Lee Yates of Spokane, Washington murdered at least 13 people. Served in the US military for 18 years, and also UN Peacekeeping missions. He flew helicopters and helped stranded people in Florida during Hurricane Andrew. All around good guy, except when he was killin'

hear's a former co worker of mine now in prison
Jacob Rogers
Indeed. Welcome to the thread.
Joseph Reyes
20% of the prison population consists of psychopaths.
2% of the general populations consists of psychopaths.
Cooper Scott
There is no Bright Normal as per Google.
The normal range is 90-110. As such, I concluded you were in the 110ish range.
I mean not like I have gotten away with several murders among other things.. Fuck me though, right? :)
Adrian Wilson
hear's the mother of that boy. Psychodude left some bad shit where he knew babymoma would find it. he's also the one who got her addicted in the 1st place
Adrian Russell
Seriously? You just have to type "bright normal iq" and it will define 111-119.

Camden Murphy
I actually didn't scroll further on the first page that I got my range from. Still, this is why I dislike IQs regardless of how helpful they are in categorizing people.
>128+ (that's the range they give) >Very superior intelligence
and yet I think/feel like an idiot.

It's been fun. All of you are great. I sincerely hope you all have a great new years!
Alexander Hughes
seth went to prison for "violating the terms of conditional release" not the murder of baby-moma
hear's a poem her wrote to his ex:
maybe theres a reason why im always sick to my stomach. sometimes i wonder if its my excessive abuse of drugs and alcohol... maybe its the feeling of regret and self loathing, maybe its you; your face and everything that i think of when i see you. not so much that those unsettling thoughts are even about you, just that you make me think of them. maybe thats not it at all. maybe theres a parasite eating away at my intestines, gradually eating my insides until im nothing but a shell of a man. maybe its metaphorical, maybe its not. maybe im not even me anymore. maybe it has devoured my body and soul to such an extent that... that im not even a human anymore, just a creature biding time until death or maybe my stomach pain is just telling me to eat some damn food.
Juan Brown
why do you know this 13y/o girl?
Ethan Smith
seems like being a psycho would be a pretty empty existence
most of them are lame bastards anyway, read a fair bit about dahmer and bundy and they were fucking losers
Jose Barnes
Yeah, it's pretty shitty. I don't enjoy it.
Nathan Gray
>why do you know this 13y/o girl? not sure who you mean, could be a niece.
Asher Ramirez
Actually i saw in the show dexter, he had the defect in the prefrontal cortex. But the interesting thing in that was he wasnt born a psychopath, he saw his mother being butchered as a kid which resulted in him becoming the way he is. But also it could have stunted the development of the brain. What do you think?
Kayden Price
i'm meaning this seth fag is using facebook like an agnsty little 13y/o bitch
Josiah Williams
1 last pic of seth passed out from wiskey
Hudson Bennett
it's a tv show is what i think. as much as it could be entirely plausible, to base your entire opinion on a fictional story is just plain stupid
Ian Morgan
>seth fag is using facebook like an agnsty little 13y/o bitch oh he was promoting his music career, was a better drug dealer. he was coworker for a bit but ....psycho
Hunter Butler
As someone who visits a shrink 3 times a week & is a diagnosed psychopath, you're full of shit. Most likely autism
Elijah Hill
Thanks for the thread. It was a good read through most of it. I have an idea that I'm on the spectrum of a Sociopath, but I'm never going to get clinically diagnosed since I don't want it confirmed to myself or others. Reading diagnosises online isn't really convincing either. Oh well. Happy New Years OP.
Grayson Bennett
Cont If you truly were, you wouldn't be posting on Sup Forums for attention, you don't seem to understand the personality disorder you're faking.
Aiden Baker
A psychopath wouldn't say he is a psychopath
Colton Cook
I feel like I know more about you than I really do.
Have you ever had inclinations toward violence? Do you manipulate people often?
John Cook
a psychopath wouldn't care. lmao at this shit tier logician and his artifical conundrums
Mason White
Shut the fuck up
Xavier Perry
I believe that under the right circumstances a psychopath would admit it. I for one don't embrace that part of me.
Julian Reed
lmao edgy teen triggered, i was lurking for this
Tyler Hill
(in affected british voice) a ture psychopath would never willing remove his mask of sanity. i watched dexter through season3 and thought characters that are literally me irl as i watched it.
Chase Nguyen
Yes you are triggering me, shut the fuck up
Nathaniel Murphy
A true psychopath is a human. Like any human psychopaths are dynamic. There is no generic rule that encompasses them all.
I rarely remove my mask, but when I do, it's disappointing.
Anthony Price
*Tips fedora* Yes master show me how to make columbine a fucking joke.
Hunter Bell
see thats what worries me. can't tell if i'm just depressed and having a bad year, or if I just genuinely don't care about my long term girlfriend
Samuel Collins
For the most part I think life is just bad.
To determine if you're depressed take a strickly non-emotional look at your emotional state.
Psychopathy and depression are two very different things, hell, even I get depressed.
But let me ask you a question. I'm basing this question off my experience as a human. Does she make you better?
Does she push you to be a better person? Does he push you in the direction you know you can go? If she does, then it doesn't matter. She's right. If she doesn't, then what use is she? She's wrong.
Juan Reed
Seth's 2D/4D ratio was one of the 1st clues that he was a psychopath pic kinda related. lady-like long pointer finger
Jason Mitchell
nah her hobbies are laying down and buying make up brushes. I think I know she's terrible I've just been stuck too long with her and can't bring myself to get rid of her
Matthew Collins
It will be easy then. Get rid of her, she is a useless layabout and you deserve more.
You know this to be true. If you fear this then you have insecurity within yourself. You can analyse this weakness once you get rid of her. You've got your entire life to figure out what makes you happy, but first, you must rid yourself of what makes you unhappy.
Luis Moore
Not a personality trait. It's a mental illness. You can be a smart psychopath and believe it's not an mental illness or just completely ignore the scientific facts and let your ego take over.
Asher Barnes
Could sociopathy develop due to trauma? Since I think that's what happened to me.
Leo Ortiz
>psychopath >personality trait you're not a psychopath you fucking idiot
Juan Jones
Someone is not up to date on the latest research.
Josiah Hill
Nice trips fellow user. Certainly, that is almost the very definition of sociopathy, though I would recommend seeing a professional if you're truly curious.
Christian Bennett
Citation needed.
Juan Thompson
just the sort of autistc ass reply I'd expect from someone who self identifies as a psychopath
Christian Taylor
Again, additional citation needed.
Christopher Bennett
Yes that's a smart thing to do but I kinda like keeping these things a complete secret. I'm not fond of going to therapy or anything since the last one thought I was autistic.
Dylan Edwards
Show me the latest research then please.
Jose Cruz
Trust me bud, I've disagreed with a lot of psychologist, hell, they disagree with each other.
If you're unhappy with the way you are, or your life, you gotta start somewhere. If you're happy with everything then the conversation is moot.
Hunter Morgan
DSM V - Under Cluster B Personality Disorders. Psychopathy is clearly defined as a single diagnostic criteria - most prevalent in anti-social personality disorders. If you require further citation the research studies are cited in the index.
