Topic | So my daughter might be a sociopath |
KamikazePotato 12/29/18 2:18:56 PM #12: | IfGodCouldDie posted... The thing is, she has been visibly upset everytime we have had an animal die. I am not even close to an expert on this subject so take this with a big grain of salt, but from what I understand, psychopathy/sociopathy (I would say this situation reads more like psychopathy but they're almost the same thing) doesn't mean 'can't get upset'. If you like a living being and it dies, anyone is going to be upset - the difference is that a Psychopath/sociopath views it more as "this object I liked is gone" whereas someone with more empathy would view it as "this living being with its own thoughts and emotions is dead". They can also have SOME empathy, it's just stunted. Or they don't have any at all and they're faking everything. Not that it's guaranteed that your daughter is a psychopath or sociopath, but honestly those examples you gave are pretty alarming. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
