Pseudopsychopathy

Psychopathy is a personality disorder that is characterized by antisocial behavior and pathological personality changes. This is a serious mental illness that can lead to serious consequences, such as deterioration in social adaptation, negative relationships with others, and even crime. However, people with psychopathy can live comfortable lives if they are given appropriate treatment and support. But it often happens that people suffering from this disorder prefer to hide their illness and work to suppress it.

Pseudopsychopathy is a different phenomenon, but essentially similar to psychopathy. It is also characterized by an antisocial personality, but the physical symptoms, mental changes and behavioral characteristics are not as pronounced. A person with pseudopsychopathy behaves as antisocially as they do and may even involve their friends or family in their problems. They can often easily convince other people of their illness, deceiving them about their real condition in order to gain support. Thus, a psychopath with pseudopsychopathy may seem completely normal and harmless if the environment does not pay attention to his actions.

Pseudopsychopathy is a mental state in which a person, under external calm and confidence, hides cruelty, aggressiveness and excitability, as well as a tendency to violence. Like other personality disorders, this condition does not arise on its own, but is a consequence of certain stressful circumstances in a person’s life: the loss of a loved one, domestic violence, unsuccessful suicide attempts, physical or sexual abuse of children, severe psychological trauma, etc. However, for many reasons, the pseudopsychopath chooses the path of enslavement: he deceives and manipulates others, secretly commits dangerous acts and refuses the support of others, relying only on himself. He is arrogant and aggressively sarcastic, suspicious and has high self-esteem, he rarely experiences upheavals in society, is disrespectful to the values ​​of other people and is aware of his infallibility in everything.

In many ways, pseudopsychopaths resemble sociopaths, but the main difference between these conditions is that with pseudopsychopathy there are no signs of emotional disorders, while in mental patients they are necessarily present. And this is the main condition by which we can understand who is in front of us - a person with psychopathic manifestations or an ordinary one. Ordinary people are not caught up in their loneliness and inner conflict; they work on themselves, listen and see. Thus, the person himself will be able to understand whether you really encountered a pseudopsychopathologist.
