I also wish that the terms "psychopath" and "sociopath" weren't bandied about so readily - people can exhibit traits linked to those conditions without being so. It just comes across as a lazy shorthand for "someone who's moral compass / political philosophy isn't the same as mine" and is the first step on demonizing / dehumanizing them. It's "Othering" and is not justifiable by any side and in any circumstance as it slams the door on proper discourse and finding potential routes out of the mess.
William the Conk wasn’t a psychopath? Just someone with a different perspective to all the “others”?I also wish that the terms "psychopath" and "sociopath" weren't bandied about so readily - people can exhibit traits linked to those conditions without being so.

Some of us have got a garden to run; from propagation through to picking. Surprised nobody picked up that howler, anyway. I've a twisted mind but I'm not bitter about it, Paul.Mike I've been waiting most of the day for you post a joke about pulses. What took you so long? : )
Isn't a sociopath very similar, but is scared of dying?what is the difference between "psychopath" and "sociopath",
in your words,
to me there is not a lot to separate them,
Here's the thing. We're all bonkers in our own way, and are duly called whatever name, some smartarse decides to give us.Isn't a sociopath very similar, but is scared of dying?
It's likely more complicated than that, but that was my simplistic take from Googling it a few years back.
I also heard somewhere that our personalities have a certain percentage of every trait. Which makes sense, due to when you do online autism, (or whatever) tests that pop out a percentage at the end.

They know, no more than me or you. I dont even know who I am, so how can they.

We all have words for everything, who's to say whats right?
How Sociopaths Are Different from Psychopaths
Psychopaths and sociopaths both have antisocial personality disorder, but psychopaths typically lack empathy and are manipulative, often blending in with society. Sociopaths, however, are more likely to be impulsive, visibly erratic, and less able to form attachments with others.www.simplypsychology.org
