Medical Video: 10 Traits of a Psychopath
You may often hear the word ‘psychopath‘, or even call someone psychopathic. The term psychopath actually cannot be used carelessly. Psychopaths (and also sociopaths) are serious psychological conditions that are included in antisocial personality disorders. What are the characteristics of psychopaths that can be observed?
Is that a psychopath?
Psychopaths are someone who is manipulative and easy to gain the trust of others. They learn to emulate emotions, which they don't really feel, and will look like normal people. Psychopaths are often educated and have stable jobs, some are very good at manipulation and mimicry so they have family and other long-term relationships without anyone knowing their true nature. This is why many people are not aware of psychopathic characteristics because sufferers can hide them well.
Someone who is a psychopath usually cannot distinguish what is right and what is wrong, so many of them do immoral, even criminal, without remorse and guilt. However, not all psychopaths are cold-blooded killers. Maybe even in your surroundings you interact with a psychopath without your knowing it.
Scott A. Bonn Ph.D., a Professor of Sociology and Criminology at Drew University, explained that a psychopath cannot form emotional relationships or have empathy with others, although often they have a personality that is warm and even charming.
Psychopathic characteristics of first impressions
The emergence of psychopaths in the midst of the public is a terrible thing, but what power, psychopaths have a character that is quite difficult to recognize when they get along in society. Charles Montaldo, a Criminal Expert, explains some of the impressions psychopaths show others:
- On the first impression, psychopaths generally appear with characteristics that are charming, like to socialize, care and be friendly to others.
- Outwardly, they appear logical, reasonable, have carefully thought out goals, can provide accurate explanations and provide appropriate responses that there are consequences for anti-social and law-breakers.
- Psychopaths are able to judge themselves and will openly correct mistakes in the past.
- Psychopaths do not show common symptoms of neurotic behavior, including anxiety, anxiety, hysteria, mood swings, extreme fatigue, and headaches.
- And in situations that make other people upset or annoyed, the psychopath is even amazed and shows an emotional vacuum, without any fear or anxiety.
Characteristics and characteristics of psychopaths
Dr. Robert Hare, Professor of Emiritus of Psychology at the University of British Columbia, created a list of characteristics and characteristics of psychopaths to determine how long criminals will stay in prison, so Dr. Hare spends a lot of time in prison with prisoners. However, he is often deceived by many psychopaths. Therefore, he realized that we should not just rely on traits and immediately analyze everyone in your life.
This information is intended to provide an overview. This is something you can use as a tool to assess yourself and use it wisely when judging others.
1. Enchanting and good at talking
People often think that psychopathic traits are quiet and solitary. Even though it's just the opposite. Psychopaths usually have a tendency to act good, attractive, charming, smart, and good at speaking. The psychopathic charm is not shy, self-conscious, and not afraid to say anything. A psychopath never feels difficult talking.
2. Arrogant and have high arrogance
Psychopath is someone who has an overly high view of his ability and self-esteem, is confident, dogmatic, arrogant, and bragging. Psychopaths are arrogant people who believe that they are superior human beings.
3. Can not stand the feeling of boredom
Psychopaths often have low discipline in carrying out their duties to completion, because they are easily bored. They will not be able to work in the same job for a long time or tasks that they find boring or routine.
4. Be happy about harmful anti-social behavior
Even though acts of violence are psychopathic traits that are often misunderstood by many people, a psychopath does indeed like dangerous things. Anti-social behaviors such as cheating, lying, robbing, stealing, fighting, adultery, and killing are behaviors that are attractive to psychopaths. They seem interested in high-risk antisocial behavior without a clear purpose.
Some theories explain that psychopaths only want to put themselves in dangerous situations or situations that can get them caught, because adrenaline rush they experience. They also want to prove that they are smarter than everyone, including the police, so they will not be caught if they commit a crime.
5. Look once at lying
Can be on a moderate or severe scale. On a medium scale they will be clever, astute, proficient, cunning, and clever. On a severe scale they will cheat, cheat, no moral, manipulative and dishonest.
6. Lack of remorse or guilt
Psychopaths tend to be indifferent, impartial, cold-hearted, and not empathetic. Therefore, psychopaths will not care about the loss, pain, and suffering of the victim.
7. Has a parasitic lifestyle
Other psychopathic characteristics are having intentional dependence on others, for example in terms of money. He is also manipulative, selfish, and exploits / utilizes other people to fulfill his needs, because he himself lacks motivation, has low discipline, and is unable to complete responsibilities.
8. Can not control behavior
Psychopaths have angry, irritable, impatient, threatening, aggressive, and berating behavior. This results from a lack of control of anger and emotions.
9. Having erratic sexual behavior
Psychopaths tend to have superficial relationships, often having an affair, and choosing sexual partners carelessly. They often maintain several relationships at the same time.
10. Having behavioral problems from an early age
They often carry out various behaviors such as lying, stealing, cheating, damaging, intimidating, sexual activity, consuming alcohol, slurping, and running away from home at less than 13 years of age.
11. Not able to love
Psychopaths are very egomaniac to the point that it is difficult for normal people to understand them. They are very selfish and that cannot be changed, so that they really cannot afford to love other people, including their parents, spouse, and children. The only good treatment shown by psychopaths is when it can be used as their benefit or facilitate their plans and goals.
12. Can not account for failure
Psychopaths are forced to pretend when they have to emulate normal human emotions that they have never actually felt. This applies when they face failure. When they become humble and try to correct their mistakes, they actually have the goal of acting as martyrs so that others don't have to blame them.
There are a number of differences in the behavior of psychopaths, including psychopathic sexuality and how psychopaths work. Most studies have not found the right method to cure this psychopathic behavior. Conversely, when methods are used, psychopaths will become more trained and improve their manipulative methods to hide their true personalities, even from trained eyes.
