Coz googling the meaning of it gives a number of different interpretations/definitions ranging from mild to serious..

I'm wondering if the OP actually means sociopath.

No, I'm the OP, and I meant Psychopath, as in Expats who threaten me, wanting to kill me, or have me dead. In all my years before, I never met such naked evil intent.

... okay. And what's the common factor in those interactions?

Perhaps that was a rhetorical question.
I'm not sure what you are asking.
Who can say? I won't attempt to, because for me the "common factors" and causes are many, intertwined, complex, and are in the depths beyond human intellectual understanding.
Also, I don't really care anymore.

Shit happens, I suppose that's the, or a, common factor.

I wanted to post something and this came up for me, so I framed it into the OP.
End of story.

That's some heavy jelly you seem to be dealing with there dude. I find most people here to be pretty much harmless. It's all about perception.

I have no explanation for you, "dude". You've no clue, because I've not and will not explain the specifics, and any details. Think what you wish.

Hi there, "dude." You claim to be ex-military. Perhaps you are even ex-special forces. Surely in your capacity in the military, there were plenty of "the enemy" that wanted you dead. C'mon, dude!

Naked. Evil. Intent. Lighten up, Francis!

For the simple fact is that they have a monthly compensation from the military for having been injured while in the line of duty.

As opposed to what?

That America should give them nothing while injured protecting our freedoms?

PTSD is caused by the military giving them compensation?

So if soldiers are injured, the government should just kick them out into the street and thus solve the PTSD problem?

I don’t get it.

It's easy to live in Cambodia if you have a disability compensation from the military. You just have to find a bank and get apply for a direct deposit.

Well, I'll try to answer OP's question to the best of my ability. What is my general experience with psychopaths in my decade in Cambodia? Evil, murderous, people? My first neighbour in PP once threatened to kill me as a joke, don't know if he was serious, but to be honest I wasn't very threatened by him (and I'm not hard man). He claimed he was a psychopath, but I think he was just seeking attention. He died from meth abuse. I've met plenty of sociopaths (and for that let's just say for MY meaning here: people with no morals, or people who have no empathy). Most violent or "murderous" aggression I've seen usually sparks from aggravated circumstances, not from people perpetually in extremely dangerous psychological states. I met far more psychopaths growing up in Australia than I ever met here, even if I have met a few too many people who are truly disgusting in other ways. Your case (whatever it may be) I would guess is an anomaly amongst expats. n that's my 2c

And remember, deep in every psychopath, there's a Nick Castle somewhere.

Love the part where the OP tried to shame siliconlife for liking titties but he's actually just a big UFO nerd. Good stuff gentlemen

Correct me if I am wrong but psychopaths are free of sympathy and empathy and often violent criminals. ....

Lawyers and politicians (who are often lawyers) are often psychopaths who only care about winning regardless of the human cost.
Members of governments, and certain powerful people in any government are often psychopaths.
The mental health profession, soi-disant, has changed the term to anti-social disease or sociopath, but psychopath has stuck.
Being a psychopath can have a lot to do with class differences because difference classes travel in their own worm hole in the apple and don't understand the situation of people in other circumstances.
Expats come to places like Cambo to get away from psychopaths at home.

Something fishy about this thread.
