But I've read from "Snakes in Suits" that the reason they go out of their way to do something when they see a problem is because they calculate the opportunity to get something out of it.
Amazing description of the x2b. When I found out about his living a double life throughout our marriage. He couldn't understand why I didn't want to stay married to him. Mind you, he didn't want to stop having affairs, he just wanted me to accept living this way. When I made it clear the marriage was over, he become a whole different person with rage and anger towards ME. No care for what he has put me or the children through. It's my fault because I choose I am worth more than I won't accept it
He talks about "genuine emotions" like they are the precursors to taking action to help someone. However, you don't have to "feel for" somebody to know that they need help or are suffering. It's much more of an environmental cue than an emotional response... In other words, I think it is possible to help someone in need without empathizing with that person. They respond to the situation by tending to the victim, because that's what is practiced externally. Your emotional foundation is internal.
After being exposed to a group of individuals, who appear to suffer from this, I noticed that they appeared to have some sort of information processing deficits. I think it is definitely worth looking into as a study. As far as them having emotions or not having them, I believe they learn in which way they should respond to specific situations, and that it can be done without having appropriate emotional responses and/or emotional triggers. Example, lack of appropriate hand gestures, body language, language usage, language usage in conjunction with applied meaning(s), facial expressions in relation to specific situations. I believe this would be a good avenue to explore when it comes to psychopaths, especially if they have already been diagnosed. Great video.
i think its more that they want to stave off boredom, so whether thats doing something nice for someone that might give them a bit of a thrill or doing something bad that will give them a thrill they will do it
I've always battled my own psychopathic thoughts and behaviors. It's tough. Most people don't get how easy it is for that side of your personality to override your actions, and how chaotic and dissociated the experience is. People always misinterpret how it is and feels to think that way, because they haven't felt it. Like explaining to someone what it's like to use a certain drug, when they've never done drugs in their life. They might get an idea, but the experience will be alien.
Yes! What the psycopath does isn't necessarily what they want to do. We choose to wake up every day and decide to follow societies norms...or not. It takes a lot of effort to keep the mask on though sometimes we get on autopilot and the mask is so tight we don't realize its on. Once it comes off...we have to be so calculated with everything because we know each interaction is a chance to manipulate. At least that's my understanding of myself at this time as a middle aged mom of 3 and wife. There is a subset of people with psychopathic traits that aren't studied (or at least not widely available) my traits have been suppressed and transformed my whole life. Now I see the inner struggle I've had. I have watched everyone around me "find themselves", the whole time I'm just mirroring what I like about them and combining into "me". Kinda freaky.
Paraphrasing: A psychopath's drive for their goals may be less than others, but if they even have a thought about doing something, they act without thinking.
Sometimes, they've learned to ignore the emotions. I know that, personally, I've become particularly reckless in my day to day because I'm getting used to not caring about stuff. If I see a situation that looks threatening, I charge right at it, as if it defied me. I've always felt that it's particularly worrying that the choice to feel remorse is something that I have. I've been told that it's something that in most people happens by default, but I've always had to consciously choose it.

Good stuff... The more studying the better:)))
Hare checklist sounds unbelievably unscientific. Arbitrary and intuitive.

I had understood that psychopaths are missing a reaction ability for emotional things

Sound wonderful not to bear shame and guilt.
I complained to the marriage counselor that there was something
Wish I knew where to get the soundtrack for this music
