2. A learned behavior? Possibly. I favor genetic traits or genetic deformities, though.

What happens when people are forced to make a opinion about someone’s alleged psychopathy due to another unrelated matter, sweeping it under the mat and promising this would never happen again? You cannot make judgements founded in a society actively encouraging people to be themselves, come out of the closet, love their flaws, love themselves and be free and choose you own path through life? Is that not a basic human right? Privacy? Freedom? The American dream?
No, it would appear not. At least not in your case. But that was different wasn’t it?? Its all about everything your not. Like rap music in the 90’s, ‘bitch don’t call here anymore’, ‘you can’t make a ho a housewife.’. It’s different now. Just put a fucking bullet in my head cos to be honest, the devil doesn’t like being called a ‘sociopath’. Yes the fucking .

Anything which is positive about you is a thing that which will attack with derision and contempt. They ARE morally insane. Even quiet little mice of people are capable of acting that way, they may be seething inside with rage and hostility, and the moment they come across someone who is going to allow them to freely express themselves, they will turn and attack that person like a snake jumping out of the grass, and it will fill them with sadistic satisfaction. You have to be able to discern people’s character.

I don’t want problems anymore than anyone else does. I want to talk to somebody about this please. I am beat OK? I’m not trying to play a victim or change anyone’s opinion. I just want to not feel like I being studied like a lab rat. Who is it that I offended? Police, teachers? Peers? NSA? I am sorry for whatever I have done. Please stop alienating me. I don’t even know if it’s real or a scripted machine designed to toy with psychology of actual people. My go number is the 250 4060 number. I wish I could make my mistake right with you. I swear I am not all bad. Please don’t keep doing this to mw.

I know my phone was tapped.
I know it’s been taking audio and possibly video recordings of me for a long time.
I care but I don’t know what I can do.
Can you if your all real or just bots tell me what you want from me please? I just want it to stop. I submit. Please stop. I can give you what you want, I don’t want to spend my life like this because I’m stuck right now and want free. I’m not what you think and can prove it. Please let me be humble and move forward. I’m trying to reach out there. Please regard me as a human if you are one too.

The answer to your problem is (as always), within you. Psychopaths have little more sense of empathy than most of living things. They’re just predators/consumers like 99.999999…% of all organisms. You have an advantage! You actually do have empathy. You understand. You have morality. Stop expecting the humans around you to be any more than other organisms. Just life. Just be able to look at yourself in the mirror in the morning.

You will be introduced to one immediately. He or she will be your “therapist.”

IM DESPERATE. TRY THIS ONE. I HAVE BEEN WITH MY WIFE, SOMEHOW, FOR 20 YEARS. AND I DONT SAY THAT WITH ANY CRITISIZM
TO HER AT ALL. I AM CERTAINLY NO SAINT BY ANY STRETCH, WITH ALOT OF SUBSTANTIAL EMOTIONAL DAMAGE, AND HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT MISTAKES IN OUR MARRAIGE. BUT I HAVE BEEN OBSERVING, HELPING THE BEST I COULD GIVEN MY OWN HANDICAPS AND ITS TAKEN ME THIS LONG TO GET A GRASP ON THINGS. MY MOTHER IN LAW FITS THE PROFILE OF A PSYCHOPATH TO A T. ON THE QUESTIONAIRE ABOVE THE ANSWER IS YES TO ALMOST EVERY ONE. THE ONES THAT ARENT YES MAY BE JUST UNKNOWN. IF THATS NOT BAD ENOUGH, IT SEEMS IT COULD BE GENERATIONAL
IN HER FAMILY, BUT I CAN TELL THAT FROM A VERY YOUNG AGE, SHE HAS BRUTALLY AND TACTICALLY MANIPULATED HER KIDS IN EVERY WAY. WITH THE USE OF MOTHERHOOD, FEMALE VICTIMIZATION, JUSTIFYING HER PROMICSUITY AS SOMETHING SHE HAD TO DO FOR HER KIDS, THAT VERY SADLY, MY WIFE BELEIVES THIS AT LEAST TO A CERTAIN POINT. IVE READ ABOUT MOTHER MARY CULT BEHAVIOR. THATS HER. JESUS THE RESCUER FITS HER LIKE A GLOVE. ALSO WITH THINGS IVE HAVE GATHERED, SHE COULD HAVE COME FROM A MAFIA “WANT TO BE” MENTALITY, WITH HER THINKING THAT SHE IS THE MAFIA BOSS OR SHOULD BE. SOME THINGS THAT ARE OBVIUOS THAT I POINT OUT TO MY WIFE, SHE WILL VISCIOUSLY DEFEND AND ATTACK YOU UNTIL YOU ARE BROKEN. NONE OF HER SIBLINGS, RELATIVES GET ALONG, AND EVEN HER KIDS AND THEIR KIDS REALLY GET AL9ONG, MOST IMPORTANTLY MY WIFES FIRST BORN DAUGHTER, WHO JUST HAPPENNED TO BE ONE OF HER GRANDMOTHERS SPECIAL FAVORITES. I COULD WRITE A BOOK ON THIS AND ALMOST HAVE, BUT PLEASE GIVE ME SOME INPUT ON WHAT I SHOULD DO. THIS MAY HELP TO CONVINCE YOU IM RIGHT. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO STRIVE TOWARD GOOD, PEACE AND HARMONY THE BEST I CAN, AND THE HARDER I TRIED THE WORSE THINGS SEEMS TO HAVE GOTTEN. BAD THINGS IRONICALLY KEPT POPPING UP TO UNDERMINE ANYTHING I DID. GIVING MONEY, GIVING OF MY TIME TO HELP. TRYING TO LISTEN. TRYING TO HELP MY WIFES FAMILY MEMBERS, ETC. IT NEVER HELPED, AND IT ALSO APPEARRED THAT IT WAS NEVER ENOUGH AND MORE SHOULD BE GIVEN. THE GOAL WAS TOTAL EMOTIONAL AND FINANCIAL EXHAUSTION(WHICH HAS HAPPENNED NOW) TO COLLAPSE OF BOTH MY WIFE AND I, THEN, THE WAY MY WIFE HAS BEEN BRAINWASHED, THE URGE TO RUN BACK TO HER MOTHER MARY, JESUS, ALL KNOWING LOYAL SAVIOR WOULD JUST BE TOO GREAT SO I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE OR FOLLOW. THIS HAS BEEN A TREND IN HER FAMILY, BUT WITH ALL INLAWS RUNNING OFF IN THE END, AND THEM BEING THE EVIL ONES THAT LEFT. AT LEAST MANSON DIDNT USE HIS OWN CHILDREN DO CARRY OUT HIS EVIL, MY MOTHER IN LAW USES HER OWN KIDS. I REALLY THINK THAT SHE RAN OUT OF OTHER ADULTS AND EXTENDED FAMILY MEMBERS TO MANIPULATE LONG TIME AGO SO SHE TURNED TO THE ONLY THING SHE HAD LEFT, AND THE MOST VULNERABLE TO A MOTHERS HOLY LOVE, HER KIDS, SHE CLAIMS TO LOVE AND ADORE SO MUCH. READ THIS; http://www.mcafee.cc/Bin/sb.html. THIS SCREAMS OUT WITH BELLS AND WHISLTES AND FLAGS GOING UP EVERYWHERE. MY GUT HAS BEEN TELLING ME TO BE AFRAID, BUT I WOULD IGNORE IT. TOWARD THE BOTTOM OF THE WEBSITE, THAT WOOULD EXPLIAN. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER PIECE THAT FITS UNFORTUNATELY.PLEASE ANY INPUT, ADVISE YOU CAN GIVE PLEASE DO.

1. How would you feel if your wife or husband (who has been good to you) told you with conviction that they never really loved or even cared about you?

2. How would you feel if your pet of many years died suddenly and painfully before your eyes?

3. How would you feel if your mother (who was good to you) was killed in an automobile accident on your birthday?

4. How would you feel if a friend committed suicide in your back bedroom while you were asleep?

5. How would you feel if your neighbor , who treated you well , lost both of his legs and an eye in a violent farming accident?

6. How would you feel if your boss ,without a single word, suddenly shut down his business that you’d been working at for over 20 years?

7. How would you feel if your sister in law (who is considered a pleasant person) died from a brain aneurism while seated next to you at the dinner table during Christmas?

8. How would you feel if a severely abused box of puppies were left unconscious and dying on your doorstep?

9. How would you feel if your father (who has treated you well) had his house set on fire while sleeping and he was then left horribly disfigured by the fire?

10. How would you feel if your daughter came up missing while walking home from school one day and she was never found again?

If you answered: “I don’t know” “I wouldn’t care” OR “What do you expect from me?” to the majority of these questions the odds are in favor of you being a psychopath/sociopath.
