RE: Pretty Sure I Am A Psychopath
"Yeah, the title is misleading and it's there for the shock factor. I DO feel and I DO have empathy"
Don't worry man, I KNOW I am not a psychopath, I am just playing with words. Most of these pathologies usually include a wide variety of underlying psychological AND biological problems, so it really blurs the limits of the terms.
As for the narcissists: I didn't conflate psychopaths with narcissists.
I did... because, the DSM 5 has removed psychopath and replaced it with narcissist.
I prefer the DSM 4's term psychopath and sociopath better, because it is a much more apropos title.
The problem is, the psychopath is to everyone very well mannered, and socially gregarious person. But to his prey, he is a gas lighting manipulator who will turn every one of your friends against you and drain you of everything, including your sanity and health.
