Westerners who are Psychopaths
Re: Westerners who are Psychopaths
If you actually spend time to read DSM it pretty much starts out by saying do not read this for self-diagnosis because you will recognize yourself in nearly everything as it was written like that.
Shrinks are trained to tell the difference that you can't without proper training. Throwing DSM diagnosises on yourself and people around you is doing you more harm than good.

I don't believe your observations and I do not believe that people you've lent money are necessarily psychopaths.
You didn't want to give names but you could at least give detailed examples of your encounters with these psychopaths. To me they are usually violent criminals so I can't understand where you would meet them and why so often.
Interesting way to discuss something. Carry on then
Re: Westerners who are Psychopaths
Back in the day before eBooks I had physical copies of the then current DSM. Nice comment fax. You seem to know what you're posting about here. I suppose your point is that I'm "Throwing DSM diagnosises (sic) on ... people..." Well, haha, ok maybe so. I don't retract my OP or comments however.fax wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 10:05 am If you actually spend time to read DSM it pretty much starts out by saying do not read this for self-diagnosis because you will recognize yourself in nearly everything as it was written like that.

Re: Westerners who are Psychopaths
Since this isn't a panel of psychologists, I think a good definition for "psychopath" for this particular thread could be "someone who acts or appears to act immorally, or have no conscience, so can be prone to conflict". Thoughts?
Re: Westerners who are Psychopaths
I'll pass. I respectfully think no agreed definition is preferable for this particular thread.siliconlife wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 11:12 am Since this isn't a panel of psychologists, I think a good definition for "psychopath" for this particular thread could be "someone who acts or appears to act immorally, or have no conscience, so can be prone to conflict".

My thoughts, exactly also. This describes many acquaintances I have who could also be described as "a top bloke when he's sober!"siliconlife wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 11:12 am Since this isn't a panel of psychologists, I think a good definition for "psychopath" for this particular thread could be "someone who acts or appears to act immorally, or have no conscience, so can be prone to conflict".

Ha, ha. I noticed that too. Easy way to get some karma/upvotes. I wonder if he'll throw one my way for this post?fax wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 12:34 pmSomeone who starts threads but is too paranoid to answer questions yet compulsively upvotes everything said.siliconlife wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 11:12 am Since this isn't a panel of psychologists, I think a good definition for "psychopath" for this particular thread could be
