How The Psychopath Thinks
Last time, among other things, we discussed how the poor people who suffer from Asperger syndrome think. You may remember that while they may seem cruel and insensitive on occasion, they simply can’t help it. It’s all because of the wretched condition beneath which they labour.
Now we’ll have a look at how the psychopath thinks in comparison to the Asperger sufferer. The answer? Very differently! We said last time that the Asperger victim is ‘emotion blind.’ Not so the psychopath.
Not only are they quite capable of reading other people’s emotions. Their minds are always working out how they might use those emotions to better whatever little game they may be playing at the time.
The only times when they may show emotion themselves is when things aren’t going their way. Perhaps more accurately, when they don’t manage to have what they want.
With the real psychopath, you’re dealing with someone who doesn’t have any fear, guilt or remorse. Neither an easy nor pleasant individual to be around. If someone they know suffers a tragedy, they can show sympathy and act out the motions of distress as well as the people who genuinely feel such emotions. All the time, though, their minds are working coldly and dispassionately as to how they might turn this tragedy to their advantage.
They’re such good actors in this respect that their true natures are very difficult to uncover, to find out how the psychopath thinks. If you have any suspicions about someone, you would have to watch him or her over an extended period of time to see how they behave.
Occasionally, we’re all capable of saying one thing and doing another, but does your ‘friend’ tend to do this all the time? Do you personally feel that this person uses you, or have you noticed them using other people? It can be on a professional level, or of course sexually or emotionally.
Then, once they’ve managed to squeeze all they can out of someone, they simply discard them like empty containers. They’ve had their uses. Time to move on.
And what about something utterly unspeakable like 9/11? Personally, the visions that still haunt me today are of those poor innocents being forced to jump out of windows, ninety or more floors from the ground.
While the psychopath is quite capable of eliciting shock and horror at such terrible sights, he or she doesn’t really feel it. They can watch the images on television, or indeed while they’re physically present at the event, and as long as no-one else is around, they’ll simply take in these sights without showing any feelings of the horror we feel
