What would you call it then?
Sociopaths don't know they are doing anything wrong so there is no remorse.
What do you call someone who tries to kill you in your sleep than feels remorseful later?
It's def a psycho thing to try to kill somebody Sigmund Freud

One of my parent's friends son I'm almost sure is one. The kid had a glove fetish and was exceedingly brutal with his younger sweeter brother and beat the shite out of his cat. He was incredibly quiet and stared at everyone with contempt and rage. He reminded me of Damien. I'm almost sure he will murder someone one day.

It depends where you look, but the two terms are pretty interchangeable.

Have you ever encountered a psychopath before? by Les Miles Lunchbox

Nah, both Donald and Hillary are sociopaths. I think Hillary is evil, but I think she's far too composed and has made it too far up the latter to actually be a psychopath.

There's a kid in my parents' neighborhood that is a complete psycho. He's stalked several of the neighborhood girls and even slashed the tires on one of their cars. He's got this little POS car that he loves driving about 6" from the person in front of him and has had the cops called on him dozens of times by his own family. He's gonna be dead, in jail for murder, or in the looney bin within the next couple years.

Can anyone elaborate on the Manda murders? I did a Google search and couldn't find anything. I'm not from Baton Rouge so please excuse me for not knowing

Psychopath: yes...tried to murder me in my sleep then felt bad about it a few days later
Only thing a psychopath would feel "bad" about is that they didn't finish the job

Interesting tidbit for those that attended Redemptorist.
Sean Gillis (Baton Rouge serial killer) and the chief forensic scientist at LSP who eventually helped capture him both attended RHS.

Psychopaths are the ones that can blend in and apear normal.
sociopaths cant hide their lack of empathy for others. .

Sociopaths tend to be nervous and easily agitated. They are volatile and prone to emotional outbursts, including fits of rage. They are likely to be uneducated and live on the fringes of society, unable to hold down a steady job or stay in one place for very long. It is difficult but not impossible for sociopaths to form attachments with others. Many sociopaths are able to form an attachment to a particular individual or group, although they have no regard for society in general or its rules. In the eyes of others, sociopaths will appear to be very disturbed. Any crimes committed by a sociopath, including murder, will tend to be haphazard, disorganized and spontaneous rather than planned.
Psychopaths, on the other hand, are unable to form emotional attachments or feel real empathy with others, although they often have disarming or even charming personalities. Psychopaths are very manipulative and can easily gain people’s trust. They learn to mimic emotions, despite their inability to actually feel them, and will appear normal to unsuspecting people. Psychopaths are often well educated and hold steady jobs. Some are so good at manipulation and mimicry that they have families and other long-term relationships without those around them ever suspecting their true nature.
When committing crimes, psychopaths carefully plan out every detail in advance and often have contingency plans in place. Unlike their sociopathic counterparts, psychopathic criminals are cool, calm, and meticulous. Their crimes, whether violent or non-violent, will be highly organized and generally offer few clues for authorities to pursue. Intelligent psychopaths make excellent white-collar criminals and "con artists" due to their calm and charismatic natures.
The cause of psychopathy is different than the cause of sociopathy (1). It is believed that psychopathy is the largely the result of “nature” (genetics) while sociopathy is more likely the result of “nurture” (environment). Psychopathy is related to a physiological defect that results in the underdevelopment of the part of the brain responsible for impulse control and emotions. Sociopathy, on the other hand, is more likely the product of childhood trauma and physical/emotional abuse. Because sociopathy appears to be learned rather than innate, sociopaths are capable of empathy in certain limited circumstances but not in others, and with a few individuals but not others.

I'm happily married, but my wife went nutso for about a week two years after our second child. I think it was the stress of not having any help outside of me, no friends, no family, and the period thing. She was a pyschopath for a good week. She would yell and get crazy eyes, then get in her car and drive around for a bit. My kids were crying like crazy. I slept in a different room with the door locked until she returned to "normal." Those were good times. Not!!
We talked it out, she got a part time job, made some friends and things got much better, thank god.
