I like it when people point out that not all of them are murderers, there is such a stigma towards psychopaths. We can't treat people like monsters when they did not choose to be born different. Temple Grandin says "The world need all kind of minds" and I agree, the example of the surgeon was a good one. We can all be useful, and there is bad people even among those that are considered "normal".

That kind of mindset towards psychopaths is just wrong. They didn't choose to be built that way, yes, but it doesn't make them any less dangerous. They're dangerous and should be treated so. The thing is that they don't even care about how you treat them. They don't feel bad.

"psychopaths" are not a race that needs to be accepted and integrated. A psychopath is not a stray doggie looking for acceptance and warm cuddles. Psychopaths are simply people who suffer of a mental deviancy who need to be treated, hopefully in the near future when we'd be able to learn more about the human brain and how to fix such "bugs".
We understand empathy just fine, we just don't have it. It's not that we don't recognize other people's emotions, anxiety, etc., it's just that we don't share them viscerally. Our understanding of them is disinterested and clinical. We still have access to all our rational faculties when we process that kind of information (like danger) which is why we don't panic and can stay clear headed.
Im glad u point out that they don't get empathy....or recognize the facial expressions.

It’s because of the lack of inner personality structure. Normal people develop a “preset” personality that sticks with them the rest of their life. Psychos have no such thing and that’s why they say they’re like reptiles.

Psychopathy is a form of antisocial personality disorder and person who is not committing antisocial behavior is not a psychopath, but rather can posses other neurological anomalities which are similar looking as psychopaths from PET scan. It is false to tell that surgery or business leaders who have "cold blood" are psychopaths. Psychopaths are very different than you explain here.

They recognize facial features alright. They just don't have the same internal response to them. Studies actually show they're much more adept at recognizing fear in a facial expression.

I even fear fighting back cuz whenever I feel no remorse when mistreated,I do feel there is an air of spirit moving in my hands and the spirit laughs at me and I don't know why my brain feels thrilled even if I do want to feel remorse,it feels like I saw my soul in a brush stroke like a painting whenever I fight someone and something deep inside just laughed...So that's why I control my anger and divert my mind to other positive things and my healthy hobbies to not be a psychopath.

Never confront them , if you just look down or smile act unbothered and don t give them attention.

It's interesting because I'd differentate between them understanding emotion and feeling it themselves. I'd also say they may feel some emotions and not all, and the extent to which they feel those emotions may be different to the rest of us!

'Psychopath's have cognitive empathy, which is what you're referring to. Empathy refers to the contagious experience of discomfort or worse when witnessing it in others.
As humans we think that we supposed to function the exact same but who is not to say that we are different species of human just like animals a poodle is a dog and so is a pitbull but yet they are very different from characteristics, temperament and function. A siamese cat is a cat but so is a tiger, yet very different because they serve different purposes. So why would humans not be the same, the equality mentality in humans is very flawed. We are not meant to do be and do the same things.

Don't take who you are for granted...Many psychopaths who take accountability for what they did prayed to have feelings,which is the reason why committing crimes is like being addicted to drugs for them.The frontal lobe and amygdala of their brain is broken which is why It hard for them even if they want to feel what empathy is like.m.It takes years for them to be sober from their intense urges to fight their addictions like how a drug addict fight against drug and alcohol addiction

He clearly does the opposite of what your comment implies, while your comment appears as an entitled and narcissistic notion, likely born of jealousy? Perhaps you are a psychopath and don’t like his obvious disregard for your grandiosity? Read Beyond Good & Evil by Nietzsche if you’d like to feel better about yourself. Because all these people are full of bullshit, which is also a philosophical term worth googling.

I didn’t mean hide it from God, I meant some people are born psychopaths and others are made by this world and their choices. But the ones who didn’t choose this life can still choose to be productive members of society who refuse to feed their antisocial behaviors and animalistic desires, with God’s help. I’m not saying I have seen this happen, just sharing a personal belief that it is possible. Regardless, no one but the Creator can judge the heart. I think we should have love for our fellow humans, even and especially the ones who don’t know how to love you back. That’s all I meant to say, but I remember my words weren’t flowing that day. Edit: I am not excusing people who intentionally hurt others without feeling anything, just sharing hope.
