Psychopathy

[doubleR]

Sonetimes when people use words like "psychopath" like an insult, it's pisses me off. Like if someone have psychopathy, I know that it's not clinical diagnosis, and they don't call it like that but anyways, they don't have to be a bad person, if someone doesn't have empathy, it doesn't allow them to hurt someone. And psychopatg are mostly logical people, so why woudl they hurt you if it won't benefit them?

A non-negligible part of the ppl that holds important posts (CEOs, politicians etc…) are diagnosed psychopaths (psychopathy diagnosis dosent really exist but yk what im saying)

More of a clinical construct than anything else, falls under ASPD in the DSM... You can be antisocial but score low on psychopathy thru the PCL-R. What you're saying really makes no sense, psychopaths, especially factor 1 psychopaths, will indeed exploit and manipulate 99% of people they come across for any sort of gain.

Where did you get this nonsense from. Most psychopaths are incarcerated lmfao. Someone who has a powerful position and works well under stress doesn't mean they meet the clinical criteria for psychopathy.

Babiak, P., Neumann, C.S., & Hare, R.D. (2010)
This study shows that around 3 to 4% of senior executives show high psychopathic traits
Compared to 1% in the general population

Most psychopaths are incarcerated lmfao.

Most psychopaths being incarcerated dosent mean that they cannot also be over represented (compared to the average population) in the ppl that have powerful positions

Someone who has a powerful position and works well under stress doesn't mean they meet the clinical criteria for psychopathy.

Never said that, as many studies showed, a slightly higher % of powerful people compared to average show genuine psychopathic traits

Exactly, so not psychopaths.

I hate this argument, Psychopaths by definition are bad people

Yeah I know, and that's why i said that psychopathy, in mostly not like they show in the films, and just like I said, psychopath wouldn't manipulate people if it doesn't benefit them, and many of them know they're diagnosis, and are genuinely good people. If you have low empathy and other stuff, it doesn't allow you to hurt people. I did many researches about them, because it's interesting for me, and I can't fully expail what i want, because english is not my native language so
