That's me! Though leaving my parents and religion in order to simplify my morality helped.

Based on my private research, reading a lot of self-insight from http://www.psychopathicwritings.com/ I came to a conclusion that there are two dimensions of psychopathy:
1. Shallow emotionality - an in-born, neurodiverse trait;
2. Anti-social personality disorder - an effect of abusive upbringing.
My (absolutely unprofessional, private) conclusion is that people with trait 1, growing up in abusive environment, are much more likely to develop trait 2 than any other personality disorder.

I read an interesting article which differentiated "Psychopaths" and "Sociopaths" in this way:
Psychopaths are born.
Sociopaths are made.
I use this as a guide until I am convinced there is something better.
I'd like to see evidence that anyone is born a psychopath. If there even is a distinction between the two, I'd say psychopathy occurred earlier in life (when they were a baby or toddler) versus childhood or young adulthood for sociopathy.
I'd also like to know how labeling people psychopaths and sociopaths is any different than labeling autistic people as psychotic or schizophrenic. IMO, you're basically insulting people because they're different and you don't like their differences instead of treating them as an equal and trying to understand them which I don't think is right.

Them there are fighting woids, pardner.
But I much decline.
This isn't clear cut by a long-shot, but apparently psychopaths have less grey matter in the prefrontal cortex.
This is where a person's "morality centre" resides, I believe.
The irony is, based on what I have research, psychopaths think themselves superior to others because they can abuse their trust, since they have no moral impediment in what actions they take.
To the contrary, a simpler mindset/capability merely indicates less cognitive considerations, therefore, less intellectual prowess.

Quote:
“Psychopathy is often considered as a personality disorder, or some kind of mental/behavioral dysfunction. In evolutionary sense, that would mean that natural selection acts against the gene alleles which contribute to psychopathy.”
“However, the existing literature suggest that psychopathy may have adaptive consequences as well, especially in certain environments,” Međedović said. https://www.psypost.org/2017/12/psychop ... ests-50350

Using an anthropological perspective.
But using a broader context, if it is successful in procreation, whose to say it is a dysfunction?
