Some quotes I've found regarding psychopaths and sociopaths. I thought they were both amusing and relevant to the conversation. For all future references, "spath" is psychopath or sociopath.
"….may I jump in and give my observation to your question…..
THEY [Psychopaths] SUCK D*** AND WHATEVER ELSE IS NEAR THEM…
Ofcourse, they do this covertly….n all.
Hope that helps."
When I made the comment that I felt very little:
"If a spath would like to feel something authentic…..I would suggest to them…..pulling the trigger on a big semi…… reeeeaaaallllll close to their ears!"
"I think you know my take on [differences between psychopaths and narcissists]. The difference is the mask. N’s will not bother too much with masks. They feel entitled to do what they do. Psychopaths have quite an attachment to their masks because they know that if removed, you would see an empty space behind it, filled with the green slime of envy. People would shriek and run in horror. Can’t have THAT. So they play the nice, loving, sweet person. Of course they need to vent, so every once in a while they prepare the scene for a dramatic event where YOU caused them to throw a tantrum because of the way that YOU were behaving, etc…"
"[The link is] not very indepth but it generally agrees with my own thoughts. Again, because it’s a continuum it’s hard to pinpoint. A sociopath might hold down a good job and be well liked, but he has to take it out on his wife by beating her."
"thanks for the complements on my reply to the [Michael].
I have studied him on the site that he posts on. He does this at that site and the other posters believe that he is the 'spath with the heart of gold'. He gets off on their sympathy. So the response to him was a test and a rope. If he actually wanted to 'get better' he would have left immediately and gone to research the advice I gave him. But he proved that he didn’t by sticking around and posting, 'I’m still here.' [I did. Horrible, evil me

]
So, now I know that he has a schtick: post about how hard it is for him to be a spath and never know true love…. puke. It’s what he does at psychcentral and the empaths there just eat it up. Not as wise as we are.
His posts are meant to be disinformation to confuse people about what spaths really want. He said it himself at the psychcentral site: he is angry about the way the media portrays the spaths. His agenda is to change public opinion, one empath at a time. My spath called it 'planting a seed'.
Well my opinion is that spaths CAN change. But their hubris is so great that they see no need for it. The rest of the world should change so that they can keep wearing the same old soiled diaper the rest of their lives. The rest of us should just wear clothes pins on our noses and pretend it doesn’t stink."
All quotes courtesy of LoveFraud.com/blog. Clearly, something needs to change... It disturbs me just a little that so many people refer to this site for guidance and information on psychopathy. Granted, most of these are commenter posts. But the blog isn't much better, considering most the articles consist of sensationalized nonsense about alleged "sociopaths" (not diagnosed, of course), and the authors pointing their fingers at people in the media, claiming they are sociopaths.
