I was just talking about the issue of Narcissists having more hostility hurled at them than Psychopaths/Sociopaths the other day. Part of why I think that is, is that scientific research is pointing towards psychopathy being something that a person is born with. In other words, they can't help it. People see Narcissists as people who can help it but choose not to so Narcissists get lashed out at in a very different way. I'm not saying I agree with this drivel, but it's often what people think whether consciously or not.

Another part of it is that people know enough about psychopathy to know that they are completely incapable of remorse and they know their actions are harmful, they just don't care and can't care no matter what anyone does or says. But with Narcissists, you see people who are involved with them trying to "make them see the light" because Narcissists have the full spectrum of emotions just like anyone else, whereas Psychopaths simply don't if current research about the subject is correct.

I've noticed in these communities that people can often be more optimistic after cutting a Psychopath out of their life, because once they realize that person is psychopathic they just say, "well that hurt but they'll never care, so I need to just move on" or something like that. With Narcissists though, it's a whole lot of, "what if I did X? Would that make him/her change and see how much he/she has harmed me?" and other such things.

Sighing.
