A psychopath is more dangerous. They lack emotions because they did not develop them completely. They have no empathy as well.
A sociopath was once a normal human but due to traumatic experience (s) changed in a way and became colder than before. It affected his empathy but he still has emotions.
A psychopath is also smarter than a sociopath. Sociopaths tend to be more reckless while psychopaths calculate everything carefully. He could be talking to and picking the perfect words in his mind at the same time to affect you. Psychopaths are amazing at manipulating people and make them believe everything, sociopaths aren't that great with it. Psychopaths know how to attract people and to make them think they've found the perfect person, it could go so far that they completely give themselves away to them. Of course a psychopath is doing this to get something or for fun just to end up destroying them in any way possible. They're sadistic yup. Again a sociopath isn't capable of doing this, their emotions go to the extreme and tend to show aggressive abusive behaviour.
Psychopaths are less likely to end up in jail while sociopaths end up faster there. Even when it comes to crime psychopaths know what theyre doing and remove proof that could give them away. A sociopath won't be thinking about that. Also what I meant with calculating and the other being reckless.
Sociopaths could feel remorse though but psychopaths will never feel that way. For them, killing a human is like killing a bug. They don't care even when it's a family member. They're incapable of loving though.
Psychopaths fall into paranoid psychosis and other mental disorders, serial killers for instance and those that hear voices.
Sociopaths- narcissists selfish, with no compassion for fellow humans and very much aware of their actions- most of those in prison and repeat offenders
ASPD is an inability to perceive the world around you in a healthy way. It's like the world around you is trying to harm you, and so you begin to do rational things, in response to an irrational fear. You might lash out at people, because you think they are talking badly about you, but they might have just gotten done singing your praises.
Psychosis is self detrimental in nature. The sufferer holds some need or objective before their own, and others' well being. A psychopath might feel a strong urge to kill all the prostitutes in his city for sexual immorality, but he would just as soon kill himself if it was brought to his attention that he too was sexually immoral.
A Sociopath is the opposite of a Psychopath, because the underlying feature of a Sociopath is narcissism. The Sociopath is arguably the most dangerous, because they not only manifest the symptoms of the other two, but they believe that they are the only people with the vision or ability to do what's necessary to solve the problem. Let's suppose that the person who wants to kill all prostitutes is also Sociopathic. He will have no issues in luring the prostitutes, maybe even sleeping with the prostitutes, simply for his own pleasure before murdering them. He doesn't think he is capable of doing anything wrong.
APSD is the only one according to the DSM-V.
Psychopathy has been stable across time and culture and is characterized by calloused unemotional traits and impulsive tendencies. In contrast sociopathy is a result of negative societal problems such as abuse. APSD is a broad category that encompasses several disorders that demonstrate a pervasive disregard for and violation of the rights of others.

• AsPD is conduct-disorder for people over age 18 and they feel way more than sociopaths.
Sociopathy is secondary psychopathy, they are often made by trauma
Psychopathy is primary psychopathy and born with that, they lack empathy/emotions since birth.
AsPD is the big name for several disorders like Sociopathy, Psychopathy and sadistic personality disorder. All these disorders are in the AsPD spectrum like narcissistic personality personality.
Many people diagnosed with AsPD are low functioning and many diagnosed psychopaths/sociopaths are high functioning.
Not everyone with AsPD is dangerous and nearly not any psychopath/sociopath murders.
There is no difference.
Anti-social personality disorder is the clinical term.
Psychopath and sociopath are non-medical terms (sometimes seen as slanderous, the way "retarded" is seen as non-medical and an insult) that are used to describe people whose behavior puts them within what would be considered APD.
Not quite.
Sociopaths are highly manipulative, but are not usually dangerous. One sociopath I know has figuratively harmed every single person to ever enter her life, but has never physically harmed anyone. She is a textbook case.
Psychopaths have no empathy and can kill others without remorse.
The lines are not clear, and people can have traits of multiple illnesses. It also happens that a lot of psychopaths are autistic, with Aspergers.
What do you call it when you believe there is nothing wrong with you, everyone else has a problem but that issues are far *more* serious than they really are?
Like: "Nobody can ever understand the suffering I feel, it's worse than any other person in the history of the world had had to endure!"
Or did I misunderstand the issues part?
i thought a sociopath had trouble interacting with others and a psycho has trouble inside their own thoughts
you're right that a psychopath is pretty much born that way and results in a dissonance of certain emotions.
Though i think sociopath can be born as them or devope into them too.
What do you call someone with no feelings for anyone and heartless?
I really wanted to answer this question but I lost my shit seeing a Tf2 image oh my god
What is the root of the question? I've seen similar question repetitively asked
There isn't a difference. Psychopathy and sociopathy are both the same disorder; Anti-Social Personality Disorder.
Simply put, psychopathy and sociopathy are both forms of aspd. They are just different in terms of what causes the traits, genetics or upbringing.
That's true we don't have a problem you do you're the ones who have to deal with us and living in fear is just that your problem
Psychopath is born like psychopath
Sociopathy is from very bad trauma from childhoos
Fuck man, I might actually be a sociopath
I guess i am both then.
dont know
