Say what you want, whine if you want, whatever. If you didn't have people like this nothing would get done. It is a necessary evil. Plus if you want to start bloating so much over whether it's all right or wrong, you're just as much of a sociopath whether you realize it or not.
Empathy really is the ability to feel what another person is feeling. It's very very important in terms of survival of the human species because if nobody really cared or understood what other people were feeling it would just cause breakdown of society.
Psychopaths are worrying. I mean, if you strike one you may not realize it for quite a while until they do some devious act that stabs you in the back and can quite psychologically crush you.
Psychopaths steal other people's work. They spread rumors about people, character assassination. A range of different strategies they will use to move up through the company.
There are 20 characteristics to define a psychopath. Really the fundamental factor is an absolute lack of remorse or guilt for their behaviour, pathological lying, manipulative, callous, egotistical, very kind of self centred individual, glib and superficial charm
The common misconception with psychopaths is that they're all violent extreme kind of criminals. The majority of them are living and working around us in jobs psychologically destroying the people that they work with.
My friend is being harassed by a genuine psychopath on staff at the University of Pennsylvania. His name is Daniel J. Rader, MD. He has been trying to extend his reign of terror beyond the workplace with the help of University staff and public police officers. Now he is using nurses and other allied health field employees and associates to do his dirty work. Case and point.
Empathy can be learned, even for a psycopath. It is a matter of choice for some. Anyway, I stopped wanting to rule the world long ago (grin). Honestly, it may be that goal alone that seperates those from humanity. It leads to all sorts of "crimes".
I think you mean that empathy can be mimicked. You can't learn empathy. Either you have it, or your don't. To the psychopaths defense, they can't feel it. You can't blame them for not having empathetic feelings, most believe they were born that way, but you can blame them for their actions.
@MrFaisel34 No offense, but I stand by what I said. While a psychopath is handicapped in learning empathy, this does not preclude them from doing so. Empathy can be a rational and self interested reacton to the suffering of others. It just requires the psychopath to realize the benefit of reacting in an empathic manner. As to this being a "mimick" of a true empathy which you imply that we are born with, I say that there is no practical difference.
No offense taken. Empathy may not be an emotion as you characterize it, but one can feel it. And again, a psychopath can only mimic it as they can't feel empathy--ever. So on second thought, I guess we are saying the same thing--but very differently. When you first stated learn, I was thinking you meant learn to feel. And if you had dealings with a real psychopath, you know this is impossible.
@MrFaisel34 Empathy is not an emotion such as love or hate, but a strategy for self preservation. While you can't learn love, understanding and identifying with another person can be learned. I agree that most psychopaths do not want to learn empathy as they view it as a weakness and not a source of strength. For those who see it as a benefit, they would be more than willing to adopt it.
Many work for CPS, and similar protected positions where they are licensed, paid, and thus protected by the state - CPS agents, indigent lawyers, judges, police that accompany CPS agents although they lack charm but usually carry a Nazi attitude, shrinks contracted by CPS who possibly participate in torturing your child (MKULTRA), and of course the real abusive parent. You will immediately notice them by their charm.

Psychopaths are so devious. They're so good at saying things you want to hear to your face at the same time they're knifing you in the back.

There's a growing realisation psychopaths are thriving in today's workplace. According to the textbooks, every large company has them.

@vikdad Empathy is a deep feeling, so someone who cannot feel much will have a hard time "learning" it.

what is sad, is to fight them and win, you must be one of them, hence most parents lose.
