When I watch a gore video it's like looking at a chair

you wouldnt be considering these other people let alone reaching out on here if you were a psychopath

And yourqualification for this diagnosis is what precisely? Don't get me wrong: I'm not claiming that that Rainmaker here either is or is not a psychopath. Yet your so doubtless assurance, that they cannot, by any chance, be a psychopath because they're considering other people, etc. … leaves me as uncomfortable as if they (hypothetically) insists on having a specific condition they know they lack though (again Rainmaker: this is hypothetically, saying that those both options would let me feel similarly uncomfortable!).

This doubtless surety about what makes somebody no psychopath per se is that I learned of a professional who studied psychopath (their brain structure precisely, as this brain structure varied in a special way by convicted criminals with a psychopathic personality (respectively a antisocial personality disorder). So of that man, a psychiatrist himself, if I remember right, should be qualified to diagnose a psychopath if he sees one, right?

Well, to have brain-scans from "normal people" he scanned the brains of his family, his colleagues and … himself. They were meant to be used like a control group to compare the scans of psychopaths with. And now have a guess (if you don't already know that story). On scan of the control group showed a brain with a very high score in psychopathy typical traits. And it was that very psychiatrist very own brain. Funny, innit! That psychiatrist is now a diagnosed psychopath who, by luck, grew up in a kind family, so that he didn't developed an antisocial personality disorder or criminal behaviour, though he lacked some kind of empathy, yet compensated it otherwise to function in society.

And: If that psychiatrist happened to not see his own psychopathy, whist studying on that very topic … how can you then, via the world wide web, diagnose a stranger you probably have never met in RL, that surely because of a handful of posts here?

Again! I neither say that rainmaker is, or is not a psychopath. Yet … you too shouldn't do that so light heartedly as happened right here — whatever the truth about rainmaker is or is not *think*.

I've seen doctors for about 22 years, and none of them even suggested I'm a psychopath (they always said it was schizoaffective PD + schizoid)

then again the only thing doctors have ever done for me is give me pills that make me feel numb. in a perfect world, every single therapist - speech, physical, occupational, fucking WHATEVER - would be replaced by AI

it's going to happen within my lifetime and I can't. Fucking. WAIT.
