    Perfectly said. My ex was a legit psychopath and they are not like us.

    We were adopting a cat. On the form it says “reasons you would get rid of the cat” shit you not this dude starts writing biting, clawing, yelling like genuinely asnwering what he would do.

    Had to stop him and say but not say “act like a human”.

      The word psychopath comes from the Greek words psyche, meaning soul, and pathos, meaning suffering. So in Greek, psychopath means suffering soul.

      What a shit name.

      Fortunately, English speaking doctors invented a better name. Antisocial personality disorder.

        Damn that fits him even better.

        Dude was assaulted multiple times by a professor causing him to drop out and forever associate his passion with SA.

        Truly a tragic existence for a piece of garbage.

          I vote we take away the power of the word psychopath by using it to refer to ALL mental illnesses and disorders. And if someone says psychopath when they mean ASPD, we tell them to speak English.
