Define 'violent.'

Like, is this person beating up his girlfriend and picking fights with random people on the street, or just punching holes in walls and throwing his controller across the room and going "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"?

Of course, a sociopath is someone that cannot feel empathy naturally. That does not mean that he is a monster all the times. He just does not "feels" what others "feel" instinctively, he has to rationalize empathy, turning it on and off when he wants. Only an empathy exam could identify a sociopath, he couldn't pretend to empathize at the same speed as a normal person to the same stimulus. A normie would react instinctively.

Is there any real evidence sociopathy truly exist?

Psychology isn't enough for you?

>>8749042
What I'm asking is more of: Is there enough evidence to label sociopaths as a "different category" than a normal human being?

If I recall correctly I recall that sociopathy is defined more as a problem relating to unconscious emotional responses due to their apparent lack of empathy.
Couldn't their lack of empathy, however, be more likely a matter of perspective than some sort of unconscious response.
In fact, wouldn't it almost be correct to assume that a sociopathic human is much closer to the "normal" human - A human that hasn't been conditioned by culture and society yet to have morals?

signed: someone who has delt with many likely psychopaths/sociopaths before and might be the kind of sociopath as OP describes.

>>8748999
I don't think that would be a sociopath, just someone extremely misanthropic.

Sociopaths couldn't care less about other people, that means both not caring whether they are happy or in pain. They will just go out of their way to hurt someone is that's what is needed to be done to achieve their goals.

If they can't feel empathy naturally they have literally no reason to not hurt animals if needed.

As normal people, sociopaths may have other interests beyond killing.

Yes. So what's your point?
