Would you want to be a sociopath ?

Nice observation but sociopaths are more dangerous in my opinion

I do not think it is even close. There is no chance of reasoning with a psychopath. Sociopaths are still tethered to their emotions, and since they usually become sociopaths as a result of their experiences, they have a big soft spot.

If you say so that's not the case at all tbh.

I'm talking about in it's rawest form I know sociopathy can be on a spectrum but I wouldn't give them pity they're shit they don't feel emotions they only imitate it. The sociopathic case you're talking about is "acquired sociopathy" which results from the environment those people are just broken people tbh.

only to explain that antisocial behavior is different from sociopathy. Antisocial behavior is a component of sociopathic behavior. But not necessarily an anti-social person is psychopathic.

And sociopathy and psychopathy are the same things.

Moreover, not every psychopath kills. These are minorities. Psychopathy is someone who has no feelings or morality.
But anyhow, sociopathy is a spectrum. We are all on that spectrum, but some have all requeriments.
The emily thorne of Revenge is a good example of a sociopath.

Why would anybody actively want to feel alienated from their own society?

It's time to put down the manga and tv when you think a condition like is 'cool'. Don't romanticise being a horrible person when we all live in society.

I thought psychopaths tended to be businessmen? Don't you have to have some reasoning skills to run a business while stepping on others businesses?

For the stated studies most of psychopats were found in business and politics.
But many anyway end up being mediocre people because they can't adapt to society. So where a psychopath fits, relies heavily on the possibilities of life. They can range from doormen and other mediocre work, even people in the margins of society, such as prisoners, etc. Being psychopath is not pre-requisite for success.

Obviously most people in business are not psychopaths, and probably persons without sociopathy are smarter, since they has empathy and a normal person can read the feelings of others and understand group dynamics better.

lol sociopath is a term used which is currently synonymous with psychopath
One reason for the change is that the term was very confused with psychosis.They also found that it was inappropriate because it means psychic disease. So a person who is bipolar also have psychological disorders, but it has nothing to do with psychopathy. Hence was born the term sociopath.

Psychopath does not necessarily describe someone who is the margin of society.
It is the brain of these people behave differently.
Long ago there was a discussion whether people become psychopaths, or if they are born. The conclusion is that they are born that way, because any past situation does not justify the person being psychopath.

So for example, a person who kills or commits other crimes is not necessarily sociopath. Someone can kill because this having a psychotic outbreak due to schizophrenia. Someone can kill because they live with criminals and wanting money, I dont know, to support the family. Or someone can kill because the other broke his nail (psychopath).
Others will say, WTF, the guy killed because of a fingernail. But for the psychopath this is justifiable, they has no sense of what is important or right or wrong.
In the example of breaking the nail I gave an idiotic illustration, but that's the logic of a sociopath that kills.

It is not that they have no reasoning skills. It is that they do not have real emotions, so they do whatever they want to (which is not limited to feigning emotions for the purpose of manipulating people). A psychopath who wants to kill people cannot be influenced to believe that killing people is not right by anyone but themselves.

Yes. I am a bit too nice and kind-hearted in real life and I have noticed that people tend to take advantage of it majority of the time. I am already a misanthropist because of these experiences (and some personal factors) - I don't avoid people, but I certainly do not like an overwhelming majorty of social ingredients people wield with utter hypocrisy. This personality trait isn't a disorder in my book. It's just a different outlook towards life.

Why the heck not?
