Wanna know the main difference between a psychopath and a sociopath? A psychopath was born that way, and a sociopath was socialized to be that way.
They say that hurt people hurt people. As true as that may be, it is really only half of the story. The other half is that there is literally nothing wrong with some of these people, and it has everything to do with whether they are a psychopath or a sociopath.
A sociopath was born as any baby was born. Full of love and not hating anyone. But as he grew into a man, he was conditioned through abuse and trauma to hate anyone who does not look and sound just like him. He was told to shut up, or to blame others for all his problems.
As such, the sociopath goes through life full of shame, neglect, feelings of unworthiness, a need to project all of his negative self-talk, and an insatiable need for external validation.
All this trauma erodes away at his self-esteem, and ultimately his inner core. The core is your true self, and when it dies, all you have left is your ego. Your ego only cares about survival. Your ego is what tells you that you have to become a monster if you are to survive.
All of your wisdom comes from your inner core, and an ego without the core is unchecked and dangerous. So with his core gone, the sociopath ends up bleeding on those who didn’t cut him.
As a sociopath, it becomes increasingly difficult to form relationships, as you will only alienate potential allies. However, the sociopath’s saving grace is that he wasn’t born sick. With the proper therapy and mental support, he can revert back to his original state. Challenging as it may be, because the ego is stubborn.
Because the ego is stubborn, the sociopath often chooses instead to become fake and join fake normie groups, such as work friendships, shallow friendship groups, church families and family cliques, etc.
They think it is the easiest way to be offered protection. But here’s the catch. Your empathy as well as your loyalty to the group will be tested sooner or later. Normie groups are full of envy, competition and insecure people, and you will be expected to attack an innocent target to prove yourself to the group.
If you refuse, then they will all turn on you. These normie groups are social gangs hiding in plain sight. They are full of peer pressure, and most people sadly end up pandering to the group because they are pathetic, and they want as much as possible to resist upsetting the apple cart.
Ok, that was the sociopath. Then there are psychopaths. There is literally nothing wrong with them, except that they were born sick, and they will never change.
The psychopath only cares about power. Not the many nuances of power that I discussed on this blog site in the month of July. Only control.
They are otherwise fine. They are not starving. They are not sick. They are not homeless. They are not cold. They are not thirsty. They are not dying. They are only CRAZY! Think about it!
A man dying of thirst in the desert is not thinking about control. He is thinking about water. Water and a ride into town. Not even women are at the immediate forefront of his mind at that moment. When he makes it back into town, his true nature will gradually come back as he begins to recover. But when he is dying of thirst in the desert, water is his only concern.
With that analogy in mind, the psychopath will waste water and money for the sake of punishing or blackmailing someone he wants to control.
Imagine that? Wasting resources as scarce and as unrenewable as water and money. Or even food and car fuel. Imagine wasting food because you just don’t want someone else to have it.
Yet the psychopath will literally waste resources because nothing matters more than control to them. They will waste your time and have you going around in circles all day. They will breadcrumb you with droplets of dopamine hits, then pull the rug out from under you so they get an even bigger high. Whenever they wave at you, they’re saying “hi” hoping you would say “how high?”
Anyway, the bottom line is, they will do or say anything, including wasting resources in order to control you. Nothing is more important to them than the game they have in their heads. Does that sound like a hurt person hurting people? Or does that sound like a damned psychopath?
If you are a sociopath, you can either become a sadist or a masochist later in life. The psychopath is a born sadist. Some people are just born sick and there is nothing you can do about it.
Only the empath is a hedonist.
