Getting into the mind of a psychopath
#12
RE: Getting into the mind of a psychopath
From what I think I know it seems that in theory an absolute psychopath would never feel neither remorse nor fear... so if after murdering someone if someone pointed a gun at them they would just rationally think "I need to escape quickly so I don't die."... their heart wouldn't even beat with anything but excitement for murdering the person, never out of fear. Whereas a sociopath would panic and be scared. But neither would feel remorse for murdering the person (which is hypothetically why they have a gun pointed at them in the first place).

To go with your analogy of video games... a sociopath would see the world as a video game but if it became like a scary video game they'd be scared... so they would be like those people who get scared by scary video games, applied to the real world.

But a psychopath in the video game world wouldn't be afraid in even the most scary circumstances... they'd be like those people who don't find any video games or movies scary, applied to the real world.

So to simplify: a sociopath would be like "Life is only a game and it's not real, and we should never feel guilty or sorry or remorseful: but it's still sometimes a scary game." But a psychopath would be like "Life is only a game and it's not real, and we should never feel guilty or sorry or remorseful: and why would I ever be scared? It's only a game."
