PRIMARY SOCIOPATH

Could it be lack of chemicals in the brain that causes a person to act like an empty shell? Friendless, only because they lack the ability to be loyal, the primary sociopath has the emotional freedom to lie and hurt others physically and emotionally without feeling guilty, remorseful, or regretful. This type of sociopath does not tend to commit crimes and tolerate with the rules of society. Compare this type with the Secondary or Neurotic Sociopath and the Dyssocial Sociopath.

SECONDARY OR NEUROTIC SOCIOPATH

Like the Primary Sociopath the Secondary or neurotic Sociopath is found to have less gray matter in the thinking part of the brain than found in "normal" people. They also tend to act out as neurotics with the need and desire to feel a thrill or high from controlling their own worlds and ignoring rules of society. In order to reach this need they must prey on the innocent who are initially befriended by their predator. It isn't until they come in for the "kill", or whatever the crime may be, when they expose themselves for who they really are or are found out.

DYSSOCIAL SOCIOPATH

The Dyssocial Sociopath are effectively made anti social by their environment. In societies that teach sociopathic tendencies to their young through cults or child abuse teach the child that it is alright to ignore rules of the general society. It teaches them to ignore their conscience and excuse their actions as being right, not wrong, in their own minds and worlds in which most sociopaths live.
