usually that bond would be with a parent or parents (and a few more people for most healthy individuals)
For me, sociopathy has so far been, In my undestanding, defined by these two
1. Ability to understand how human emotions work, but not to genuinely display or posses them
(hence psychopaths/sociopaths are masters at deception)
2. Inability for any loyalties other than towards one self
both are indeed qualities possessed by the sociopath
except 1
needs a bit more nuance
a sociopath may be very capable indeed at displaying human emotions
3. Due to the above, and other cumulative effects, inclination towards destructive, violent behaviors (due to inability to perceive any sense of collective)
by displaying you mean faking
more consequence than collective
well no I don't
a sociopath in display
is not just mimicking expressions etc, they are actively processing that emotion
but cannot appreciate its significance
I would speculate some kind of mirror neuron thing going on
and sociopaths do genuinely feel anger, resentment, etc.
some people who lack affect in near aspergers way are sociopaths, but by no means even a significant minority
sociopaths more often than not, process emotions of people going about
dont you think ?
since manipulations is almost as if their primary concern
the idea is the true sociopath cannot deal with their own emotional life
or gain any insight into it
couple that with inability to feel remorse and you get your 3
my idea is that sociopaths should be dealt with according to their actions, if any deviant behaviors they display
it isn't based off of a collective spirit
as if they are a fact of life just as any other
that isn't what stops people from doing bad shit generally either
except like, Chinese people
and even there, it's a layer on top
No, I was talking about their destructiveness
A sociopath isn't destructive because he feels no empathy
They will more easily be destructive towards society, since they don't consider people or property as of having a value greater than utilitarian
but because he fears no consequence
yeah, that's reasonable
no sense of "sacred"
anyway, the idea is
and i almos forgot
a true sociopath would be unable to produce genuine music
