[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 629963, member: 1550"] Nancy, nope, you're wrong about those with antisocial personality disorder. They often do not use drugs. Money and the game of deceit is their motivator.They like money, don't like to work too hard for it, and love to put one over on other humans, whom they feel are all inferior to them. It is part of their amusement. The cold and calculated way this was done does not seem to me to be the chaotic, scattered, desperate thinking of a drug addict. Maybe you would also find Dr. Hare's book very interesting. He is very specific about the disorder, moreso than any book I've read on it. Antisocials can be drug addicts or they can just break the law because they want something and will get it at any cost. Most are very clever and, on the surface, extremely likeable, which fools people into trusting them. Not all psychopaths kill, like Ted Bundy did. Most don't kill. Stealing, scamming, taking somebody for all they have then disappearing, playing mind games...that is more their arena. Many elude prison for a long time, but many, many also do end up in prison. Since they have no real moral compass, they do eventually get caught. They do not think like you or me. They do not feel remorse. It is a foreign emotion to them; in fact, they have few emotions. People are objects. I'm going to post psychiatric Cental's website on Antisocial Personality Disorder. They had a thread there once about funerals and how do you pretend to be sad about the deceased pesron? It was interesting. The posters were not trying to be smart alecs. They truly did not feel sadness at funerals and most said they mimicked other people's behavior, but did not themselves feel grief. One said he always feels like laughing at a funeral, and he doesn't know why, but he holds it in. These people have something missing upstairs. As of yet, scientists are getting closer to figuring out what it is, but there is so far no 100% concensus, except that the brains of antisocials definitely respond differently to distressing situations about other people and animals than "normals" do. That has been shown with brain wave testing. If you know somebody who is antisocial, frankly you can never trust the person. Ever. You always need to keep your guard up.
