Telling a psychopath to ignore whatever deviant thoughts cross his or her mind and "behave" as a "normal" human being, including all aspects of interpersonal relationships; i.e., caring, love, compassion... is like telling a person with major depression to ignore whatever sadness and suicidal thoughts they have and pretend to be happy for the sake of everyone else. Can it work? They can sure try. But, as we all know, without proper treatment, therapy, anti-depressants, etc... a depressed person is still depressed, and that sadness is going to rear its ugly head despite the efforts of the individual to hide it, especially if the person in question is triggered. Trigger a psychopath, take away their control, and his or her true behavior is bound to show and wreak all sorts of wonderful havoc.

Hare, Cleckley, Newman, Brown, Stout, Karpman, Mealy, Porter, Babiak, etc, etc, etc. Not to mention myself...

Easier for me? No. You try having absolutely no empathy, an inability to connect with anyone, paranoia, an irresistible desire to destroy all of society, image after image of violence playing through your mind, a core of suppressed rage, a compulsive need to control those around you, a world that loathes what you truly are, and no treatment or help of any kind ... and tell me if ignoring those irresistible urges and refraining from acting on them is easy. That's what I do, and I can say, with complete honesty, that it's an inner battle every waking second that I live, just as battling sadness and suicidal thoughts is for a person with major depression.
