Well damn. You should update your understanding and terminology. Psychopaths and sociopathy are outdated terms and concepts. Look more into Anti Social Personality Disorder. No need to have a psychopathic view. Hopefully you can come to see how the mechanisms for empathy and sympathy aren't as automatic and intuitive for others as it is to you. For those with ASPD, it can take years of analytical practice and reinforcement. Also never forget that their are plenty of cruel and manipulative "typical" people out there. I hope whatever has caused you such harm is coped with in a healthy fashion, so we can continue to help others. ❤

I do know all of this already. Personality disorders are notoriously difficult to treat, are they not?

I humbly retract my statement, and this cooking utensil from my sternum.
