Psychopaths and Sociopaths

Anti-social personality disorder, such as sociopathy or psychopathy, sets individuals apart as they lack the ability to connect with others authentically. Unlike other personality disorders, they view people as tools for manipulation rather than seeking genuine connection. People with sociopathy or psychopathy have no conscience, making them dangerous as they prioritize power and control. Trying to appeal to their higher self or reason with them is futile, as they lack a sense of empathy or genuine connection. Sociopaths often wear a mask of empathy and connection but ultimately do not care about others. They are skilled at manipulation and coercion, promising much but delivering nothing substantial. Additionally, they lack real relationships and are only friends with the world, showing no fondness towards family members or former close connections.
