Is Cosby a sociopath? He’s a rapist but was he diagnosed as a sociopath. I guess you can pretty much say anything online these days.

You emotional people confuse me.

You reflect on your life before sleeping.

I don't even reflect on the day. It's completely irrelevant.

I drink a lot so it's pretty easy to go to sleep.

There is a huge hole in their souls, never to be filled. They don't process the way healthy people do - is one reason why you have trouble understanding them - you have no point of identification, fortunately

The only thing that keeps sociopaths/psychopaths in check is the fear of harm to themselves. If you are a good person only because you fear God's wrath, you must be a psychopath.

I think Deangelo is more of a psychopath than a sociopath, but both lack a conscience.

As for as believing in god or recognizing their sin, I have no idea. People who are not sociopaths have the capacity to make their own opinions when it comes to believing in god.

And what about this one. No one decides to be a sociopath or psychopath.. So it is a mental disorder. Is it a sin if their brain doesn't process in away to stop them from doing things that are considered a sin?

A sociopath is not the same as a psychopath.

quote:

A psychopath doesn’t have a conscience. If he lies to you so he can steal your money, he won’t feel any moral qualms, though he may pretend to. He may observe others and then act the way they do so he’s not “found out,” Tompkins says. CONTINUE READING BELOW A sociopath typically has a conscience, but it’s weak. He may know that taking your money is wrong, and he might feel some guilt or remorse, but that won’t stop his behavior.


Eric Harris was a psychopath.

Guess I married a psychopath, not a sociopath.

I stand corrected

This. There is a distinction between sociopaths and psychopaths. I would consider a serial murderer/rapist a psychopath. You could possible encounter sociopaths daily.

I disagree

Life is meaningless without the emotional capacity to enjoy the small things in day to day life

You are mostly wrong.

Difference between a psychopath vs a sociopath is a psychopath can fake empathy.

You are much more likely to run across a psychopath vs sociopath. You just don’t realize it because psychopaths can blend in.

Six of one, half a dozen of another. The American Psychiatric Association, which publishes the primary guidebook for diagnosing mental illness in the U. S. does not use the term psychopath or the term sociopath. The closest equivalent to psychopathy in the APA guidebook is a condition called antisocial personality disorder.

If you have to hang a label on him, psychopath is prolly more accurate than sociopath.

Psychopaths can appear quite charming if they know “charm” will benefit them.

Ted Bundy is the classic example.
