. . . Is associating toughness or strength with apathy?
As in they have been through hard times to believe is or just raised to? It would be an easy mis-congruity to make given our culture . . . What do you think? |

By all accounts that I've read, aspd is genetic because they seem to have been born with the lack of compassion.
When they are born with that missing, whether they were tortured as children will have a very big impact on their future. |

But I'm not up to beating this horse to death again, so, I can't be bothered to find links for anyone. But it's all out there if anyone wants to do their own research. |

The underlying behavior is the same, but the causes are different. They are both classified under Antisocial Personality Disorder, though there has been considerable disagreement over whether they are two distinct disorders or not.
But one, though biology definitely plays a factor in what temperament you are born with - Aspd is more environmental and due to upbringing, whereas psychopathy has a strong biological origin. MRI's have shown their brains are wired differently. Just as MRI scans have shown that people with BPD have smaller but more active amygdilas, which is why they experience emotions more intensely and for longer durations, and subsequently have greater difficulty with regulating their emotions. |

ASPD and Psychopaths are not fully understood. I have ASPD, and I don't enjoy harming others. And I'm not a psychopath. It's sad when many mental health "professionals" don't know the difference. |

"That's interesting. What I've read online is that there's no difference between aspd and psychopathy."
Maybe all psychopaths have aspd, but not all aspd are psychopaths |
