The difference between a sociopath and a psychopath


When you think of sociopaths, you probably imagine Christian Bale in "American Psychic" or Anthony Hopkins in "The Silence of the Lambs." However, the interesting characters played by two brilliant actors fall into the category of "psychopaths", not "sociopaths". Although we usually use these two terms as synonyms, they actually mean different things.
It is very likely that you will not find specific definitions in the medical dictionary for the simple reason that specialists are reluctant to diagnose people with psychopaths or sociopaths. Instead, professional practice speaks of antisocial personality disorder. In short, antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a long-term tendency to disregard the rights and feelings of others. A person who exhibits antisocial behavior often has little or no sympathy for others and usually sees no problem in violating the well-being of others - and even the law - in the name of their own needs and desires.
However, if we want to keep two popular terms, it would be good to consider them as meaning different states of the same behavioral spectrum. In other words, although both conditions are characterized by systematic non-compliance with social and moral norms, there are some features that distinguish them. The main difference is that each of us does not have that little voice that monitors our actions and evaluates their consequences. It's about conscience. From this point of view, psychopaths differ from sociopaths by a strong unconscious. A sociopath usually has a conscience, but its presence is rarely a constraint on behavior.
However, do not be fooled that a lack of conscience will betray a psychopath. He often turns out to be smart, charming, and calculating enough to hide his true intentions. Although psychopaths are usually portrayed in films as prone to physical violence, this is far from the only way their antisocial behavior manifests itself. A psychopath is actually an experienced actor whose only mission is to manipulate people for personal gain, which may include climbing the corporate ladder.
A sociopath rarely plays. He is much more impulsive and disorganized in his behavior. Instead of manipulating, he often looks for excuses in others. Compared to psychopaths, a sociopath cannot move so easily in society by committing legal or moral crimes. Last but not least, a sociopath is much more likely to establish warm relationships with some people. 바카라사이트 고객 만족을 중요하게 생각하며 플레이어가 지원 팀에 연락할 수 있는 다양한 채널을 제공합니다. 웹 사이트에는 일반적인 질문을 다루는 자세한 FAQ 섹션이 있으며 플레이어는 이메일, 라이브 채팅 또는 전화를 통해 지원팀에 문의 할 수도 있습니다.플레이어는 모바일 브라우저에서 웹 사이트를 방문하여 모바일 장치에서 액세스 할 수 있습니다. 이 카지노는 다양한 화면 크기에 맞게 조정되는 반응형 디자인을 갖추고 있어 스마트폰과 태블릿에서 쉽게 플레이할 수 있습니다.
