Re: Psychopath?

This is an amusing exchange. Wish people posted here more frequently.

Whitewolf, i don't really see what is there to be gained from talking to others with APD about their world view. Apart from personality quirks, i would imagine our world view is pretty much the same. When you take out morals and emotions, logic and personal preference remains.

Re: Psychopath?

I feel sorry for Psychopaths, even with their lack of conscience, remorse, you can't help but have empathy and sympathy for them however unlikely it is they'll return the emotions.
The fact many of them could kill people and not feel anything frightens me but If they actually did all go out and kill people I assume many people would be left dead, bearing in mind that an estimated 1% of people on the earth today are Psychopaths. And they aren't so something stops/restrains them, an attempt to be good perhaps. But what really is sad is that that they can never experience, truly, the joys of Empathy, Sympathy, Love, Guilt, Shame, Remorse, compassion. Some of them might not be too wonderful but where would we be without them, like animals?
But I wonder why they can't realise what their doing is bad and stop or just be good, they aren't retarded, most of them intelligent I hear.

Re: Psychopath?

Cool but I don't get the empathy part.

Re: Psychopath?

Yeh reading through Empathy doesn't make much sense, Sympathy makes more sense. :)

Re: Psychopath?

Do people really think that psychopathy equates to homicidal or violent tendencies?

Also, you should feel sympathy for people like us. That way we can cut your throat more than once, figuratively speaking.

Re: Psychopath?

I've been thinking about this violence issue people seem to dwell on.

Here's what I think.

They think we are like them. So they imagine a time when they were emotionally mad and wanted to kill someone. Then they conclude that without a conscience they would kill and therefore we must be just as vunerable to such an emotional action.

So... they are inherintly evil. If you think about it they do openly admit that just as I admit I lack proper punctuation and spelling. Apathy.

I am disgusted by their very existance. Stupid monkeys... They die like insects. Only in the end do they understand. Even as allies they will fear you. All because you don't bleed with them. They crumble under emotional bridges and then think you heartless and somehow untrustworthy all because what destroys them can never harm you.. They fear virtue because none of them have it. This virtue percieved as evil. Everything they lack comprehension of is evil to their primitive minds.

Oh happy Easter. I don't understand the basket with eggs in it guarded by the bunny rabbit. Is that the mix of Jesus and pageon traditions? Why are Christians always eating ham on Easter. Jesus hated pigs! LOL

Re: Psychopath?

I know Psychopaths dont have violent, homicidal tendencies I was just saying that thex COULD kill someone and feel no emotion. And I would like to say that you really don't understand Emotions if you think they're a drawback. If I lost my strong feelings of love, empathy, fear, anxiety and guilt I would hang myself ASAP. They are what makes life full and they keep us Empaths in social harmony. If I was a Psychopath I would just make myself a goal to do 50 things a week to make the world a better place.

I'm pretty sure there is no empathy, guilt, fear or anxiety in Heaven. Apparently God didn't see those emotions as anything but a drawback. So killing yourself probably wouldn't produce a desired outcome. Have you thought about that? Do you think God has a conscience because I don't. I'm just playing with you. :-)

Empaths? Well that wouldn't help you with me at all.

Re: Psychopath?

James, you're just projecting your own views unto others and expect everyone to feel and think like you do. You would make the world a better place if you were a psychopath? That's a laughable sentiment. Other people are things to me. Would you cry if some random doll get crushed under something? No, you wouldn't.

You lack perspective and understanding, which is understandable i guess based on some of the posts here on this forum.

Re: Psychopath?

I'm not projecting my views onto anyone else, and If you feel I did then feel free to rage all you want (seriously).
And if I woke up tommorow as psychopath I would try to do good deeds and I would not hang myself as I would hopefully still realise that even If I wanted to it would hurt my family, friends.
And Whitewolf, I think God does have a conscience as we do, "Lets us make man in our image", that's basically saying god made us like him so I will assume he has a conscience, If not then we are all screwed :)
Also.... It depends what type of doll....... :-) Jokes.

Re: Psychopath?

I made a puppet that looks like me. It's made in my image. He didn't say he made a clone. I... I can't stand you. Never talk to me again.

Re: Psychopath?

"True conscience is a gift from God"
"I have lived in conscience before God" (Acts 23:1 KJV)
Thats not what I meant, I was saying that God made is in his image and since god doesn't look like humans, there has to be something similar, emotions, conscience.
I know just as much about the true God as you, who's to say? Maybe God, is a black woman from korea?
:)

Re: Psychopath?

Sorry to butt in here but, on what basis do you have for him lacking perspective and understanding?
There are psychopaths who lead good lives and dont succumb to pathetic urges or temptations.

Re: Psychopath?

Stop trying to bait me with those awful one liners.

Re: Psychopath?

Don't be so easy to bait then.
