Sociopaths don't always behave as though they're invulnerable. Somehave said, "You don't know this, but it hurts to be me." Peoplesneeringly say to this, "Another of your miserable lies!" But it is infact a miserable truth.
Being angry at them is understandable, but why do people insist onjustifying their anger by dehumanizing the object of their rage?
Sociopaths may seem like aliens, but they aren't.
Perhaps what reallygalls the others is that when they look at sociopaths, in certain tinyways they see aspects of themselves, for everyone has some antisocialthoughts.
Also, sociopaths hurt a lot of people. What seems to hurt most is the idea that the sociopath is breezing happily through life having ablast while a trail of wounded victims struggle to put their shatteredlives back together.
No sociopath breezes through life. They just know how to make itlook like they do. It's part of the sick game they play because theycan't do much of anything else, as they are.
If sociopathy is treated instead of ignored and shunned, this won't have to happen.
Those who would have been hurt by sociopaths might not be able tofully appreciate that they escaped harm because neuroscience finallyfound a way to treat these people who would otherwise have hurt them,but the thing that makes the most difference is that, in the finalanalysis, they wouldn't have to know.
The main reason sociopaths don't usually seek help from their fellow human beings is that they can'ttrust, rather than that they like being as they are. Plus, they canoften sense exactly what sort of a response any call for help on theirpart is most likely to elicit from professionals and lay folk alike. As I commented above, sociopaths are not breezing along in paradise. It isn't all a game.It's a truly miserable existence. And it can be made better. It may notbe "curable" yet, but it most certainly isn't as hopeless as so manypeople say. There is therefore nothing to be gained and much to be lostwhen therapists and lay folk try to ostracize sociopaths from the humanrace entirely! Sensationalism and superstition will only preventprogress.
This was written on another question on the same essential topic as this one, by a self-confessed sociopath who was officially diagnosed (other than me!) --
The essay that follows was written in another answer by anotherself-admitted sociopath, who actually might not be a sociopath. Stillanother person added the brief comment to that effect after her tragic essay.
Comment: The above testimony is clearly not indicative of asociopath because they seem to make efforts to keep from harmingothers, even if it doesn't benefit themselves.
Yes. They are dangerous to your well being and enjoy setting conditions for you to fail.
Achilles was supposed to be invulnerable.
Another way to say invulnerable is untouchable. For example: The man with the big muscles thought he was invulnerable. .
Arrogant people appear to be invulnerable to criticism, but it is just a facade.
No, in fact, it's the opposite. There are many more straight sociopaths than gay ones.
Invulnerable refers to something being immune. It means that it is not possible for something to be damaged or injured.
Invulnerable
Vulnerable.
They are invulnerable to fire.
Yes. Sociopaths lack empathy, not the ability to feel sorrow.
In my experience, sociopaths use religion to manipulate others.
give the unit/building or whatever the invulnerable (neutral) ability
