What makes a psychopath a psychopath?

seriously. i have read all of the nonsense literary salad of analysis on why someone goes crazy. but i want to know your opinion.
the first 4 years of my life, i was Appalachian, then i was moved to Cincy. Cincy....where hopefully no one knows your name....where if you didn't belong to some cult and behave like a gang member, you were the outcast.

the family that raised me were drunks druggies perverts and murderers and so were all their friends and relatives. and all the kids i went to school with. and i was ostracized. i never did drugs, my drinking was laughable, and i smoked because being in a smoky room drove me nuts unless i was smoking. i didn't sleep around.

i was nice nice nice....and all people did was attack me and lie about me. Why do i have no wish to murder and destroy people?

Why was i never a pervert or weirdo? i don't even cut or steal....am i not human?



See...these are the things we need to understand to keep these school shootings from happening.... what is it that makes the difference?

You were born with a beautiful heart and soul. The folks you referenced were not and attacked/insulted you because they were born with bad hearts and souls.

I am not saying they cannot change, it is that they do not want to change or to alter their life's path/destiny.

As far as school shootings I do not know how you stop a psychopath one they decide to act, they are the same as any famous serial killer with no one knowing about them until after they have acted out their deadly plan unfortunately.
@WillaKissing thanks
