psychopathy and emotions thread split

[Absurd]

AFAIK, psychopaths feel much anger. That's like the only emotion they can feel the most and the deepest. In general. Oh and this doesn't mean people who favour anger are somewhat like psychopath or something.

Not really. Psychopaths, clinical ones, do not feel anything, that is, they're able to shut it off whenever it is going to suit them. This doesn't mean they're totally devoid of any feeling. Think of it as of an light switch you can turn on and off - same with psychopaths. So your post is clinically funneh.

Absurd, they don't "turn it on and off". They control it and they can be very good at it. Controlling anger is not the same thing as not feeling it.

All this seems a bit inconsistent. Isn’t it ASPD? People with ASPD go against societal norms.Check the DSM, not sure how emotions are involved in the Dx.

The people you're referring to are mostly in prison. Not a joke. Although I have to admit, fine list of emotions you listed there - something holy Socionics labels Fe.

I certainly hope so.

What list of emotions? I get annoyed with inconsistent or incorrect information and I like psychology. Societal norms? If socionics lists that as Fe then socionics is stupid. On a grand scale it's not okay to manipulate and abuse people= Fe?

You're bothering my laziness.

No, ASPD is a similar but separate personality disorder. A psychopath is a cold and calculating criminal with no remorse felt for doing something as heinous as murdering a perfectly innocent person in cold blood; someone with ASPD isn't very likely going to be that defective of a human being. The DSM doesn't characterize psychopathy because Western Psychology, most notably the APA sucks. You can read the abstract here:

Funny gif in your signature btw, cc. Ronald McDonald totally had it coming to him by the BK Mafia.

According to socionics I can learn all the functions and be whatever type I want online or off. Food for thought.

I’m lazy when it comes to explaining, which is why I said “check DSM” I’ve already read it. Why should I do homework for people? I don't have one handy, but I know the correct answer is there.

thanks. I was also amused. The information was inconsistent then?

Oh, okay. Which type are you now if at all?

Socionics be blessed.

Type emotions have nothing to do with type, type? I'm undecided, must be my mood.

Sorry, English is not my first language. But hey, time to update Socionics.

[chriscorey]

S'all right. I think English is boring. I especially think the rules are boring.

And if worms had guns, birds wouldn't mess with them, right.

The APA can't seem to be able to describe what medical doctors have been able to recognize for a very long time. One of the many pitfalls of committee thinking.

[Absurd]

It is settled, confimed and decided then. ILI are joyful mood swing psychopats.
