They're all loveable and cuddly really, like big murderous teddy bears.
Ha ha! That reminds me of one of those spoof adverts that Viz did once when they tried to sell 'Little Ted West. Cuddly toy or ursine maniac - you decide'.
The teddy had a black curly wig and a tank top. I've still got the issue with this in because I found it one of the funniest things I'd seen in ages! If I could have bought the teddy, I would have.
Yes it is a real shame the way psychopaths are treated by society.
Just because Psychopaths are

doesn't mean they should be treated any less than any other person.
No, but they do seem to be nothing but trouble. Either serial killers or heading up companies. Your definition seems to fit many of the people responsible for the banking crisis. Quite a few politicians too.

And worryingly, that description fits my estranged husband almost to perfection and he's was a banker :eek:
Yes they should be treated like equal members of society! There's such a stigma attached to psychopaths and it is grossly unfair.
I've never seen anyone locked up just for being diagnosed as a psychopath, in fact our society seems to reward people with those traits.
They are only punished if they are caught breaking the law, which applies to all of us. Unfortunately, many of the things that they do that are detrimental to the rest of us aren't illegal.
It also fits my sister's ex and he did kill someone. In fact he was hired to do so, and it wasn't the first time he'd been paid to do violence. :eek:
Mine isn't violent - quite the opposite: he's way too concerned with his own wellbeing and preservation to become physically violent. It's a bit disconcerting to read that description tbh - I wonder if he is
Browsing the Internet today, I've diagnosed myself as a psychopath. I do vaguely remember reading about sociopaths when I was younger and identifying with the description, but that had since been pushed to the back of my mind.
I seem to be reading a lot of hostility towards Psychopaths, even though from what I have read, it seems to be naturally occurring. I think part of the reason is that it conjures up negative images, such as Hannibal (which isn't the definition of psychopath).
Why do people feel so much hostility towards psychopaths? Do you judge me negatively because of it?

Probably trying to explain why they always feel tyred ...

Psychopaths would never recognise their behaviour as wrong.
The first rule of being a psychopath is you never talk about being a psychopath.
Who says I think my behaviour is wrong? I don't think I've done anything wrong, I just think I fit the description.
I'm unsure if Psychopath is the correct word, maybe sociopath? I haven't killed/physically harmed anyone/thing.
Everyone wants a personality disorder these days. They're very 'in'.
I've got Schizoid Personality Disorder, myself.
Oh bless you
Back to google...
Nah, that's Robot Club.
I always get those two mixed up
To be fair, I pretty much diagnosed my M.E. off the internet months before the NHS got around to it.
I think the thing we should remember here id that a 'psychopath' probably isn't thinking clearly!
For some years friend of mine was Schizopathic he had treatment and they're ok now!
