[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Psychopaths do not have empathy. Narcissists do at times. A lack of empathy is at the heart of a psychopath (along with copious lies).

If the person you are dealinh with has no empathy at all, they've crossed the line into psychopathy.

Fun fact: Yawning is contagious. When people are shown pictures of yawns or witness people yawning, most often they yawn back.This does not happed with a psychopath. [/quote]

I tested the yawning theory on my spouse who I know is a textbook Narcisist. Spent a whole evening together - talking over dinner. I yawned a hundred times. Spouse never did. Hmmmmm...[/quote]

I just heard a piece on the radio about "extreme altruism." It turns out that extreme altruists, people who put themselves in danger to stop to help strangers in need, or who donate an organ to a stranger, have a larger area in their brain called the amygdala than normal people and sociopaths have a smaller one than normal people. That's why imploring the sociopath and trying to get them to understand the pain they are causing is a waste of time.
